Connect the Cognex DS900 Series Sensor
The DS900 series sensor's Ethernet connector provides a Gigabit Ethernet connection and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to
the sensor. The sensor's multifunction port provides access to the physical trigger and input lines. Up to four DS900
series sensors can be connected to the vision controller.
WARNING
:
The DS900 series sensors are designated as a Class 2M laser product. These laser products can be
hazardous. Please refer to the
DS900 Series Displacement Sensors Quick Reference Guide
for important
instructions on their safe use.
CAUTION
:
l
Cognex recommends only cold-plugging the DS900 series sensor; turn the vision controller power off when
connecting or disconnecting the DS900 series sensor.
l
The vision controller's GigE ports provide power to Cognex industrial devices that support Power over
Ethernet (PoE); connecting third-party PoE devices to these ports could damage the vision controller or the
third-party device.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable's M12 connector to the DS900 series sensor. Connect the cable's RJ-45 connector to
one of the vision controller's GigE ports.
Note
:
l
The DS900 series sensor's accessory Ethernet cable must be used to connect to the vision
controller. For more information, refer to the
DS900 Series Displacement Sensors Quick Reference
Guide
.
l
The GigE ports are dedicated to Cognex industrial devices and cannot be used to connect to a
Gigabit Ethernet network or to communicate via industrial Ethernet communication protocols.
2. Optionally, connect the terminated end of the Multifunction cable to the DS900 series sensor's Multifunction port.
Connect the trigger and input wires to the applicable I/O device. Refer to the
DS900 Series Displacement
Sensors Quick Reference Guide
for wiring examples.
CAUTION
:
The DS900 series sensor’s Multifunction port can also be used to provide power to the sensor.
However, since PoE is already supplied to the sensor using the vision controller’s GigE ports, the
Multifunction port power supply should not be used.
