Connect the Ethernet Cable
The camera's RJ-45 connector provides a Gigabit Ethernet connection and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the camera.
CAUTION
:
l
Cognex recommends only cold-plugging the camera; turn the vision controller power off when connecting or
disconnecting the camera.
l
The Ethernet cable must be shielded. For the ISC-8405 camera, Cognex strongly recommends Cat 6 or Cat
7 Ethernet cables with S/STP shielding.
l
The Ethernet cable shield must be grounded at the far end.
l
The vision controller's CAM ports provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) to supported In-Sight cameras;
connecting other PoE devices to these ports could damage the vision controller or the PoE device.
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the camera's ENET connector.
If installing the ISC-8405 camera and using a compatible horizontal screw-locking Ethernet cable, use a screw
driver to tighten the connector screws until snug, to secure it to the camera. The screws must be tight to ensure a
reliable connection.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the vision controller's CAM ports.
Note
: If using a vision controller that supports a two camera configuration, connect the camera Ethernet
cables to the vision controller's CAM 0 and CAM 1 ports.
