Connect an RS-232 Serial Device (Optional)
To connect the vision controller to a serial device, plug an RS-232 serial cable (DB9 connector) into the vision
controller's RS-232 port and tighten the connector screws to secure it to the vision controller. Connect the other end of
the cable to the serial device.

A DIN rail-mountable power supply accessory is available. Please contact your Cognex sales
representative for more information.

If using a power supply with a ground terminal, the terminal must be connected to earth ground. If using a
DIN rail-mounted power supply, the power supply must be mounted to an earth-grounded DIN rail. Wire and
connections must be in accordance with these instructions, the National Electrical Code and applicable
national and local wiring standards and rules.
1. Verify that the 24VDC power supply being used is unplugged and not receiving power.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the wire retention screws on the 24VDC power connector.
3. Insert the power supply's +24VDC (Power) wire to Pin 1 and the -24VDC (Return) wire to Pin 2 on the power
connector. Connect a frame ground wire from Pin 3 to frame ground. Recommended wiring is 14 - 18 AWG, solid
or stranded wire. Refer to
24VDC Power Connector Terminal Assignments
for terminal pin
assignments.
CAUTION
:
Do not connect AC power directly to the vision controller's power connector. Connecting AC
power will damage the vision controller.
4. Tighten the wire retention screws to secure the wire leads in the terminals; the maximum torque is 0.6 Nm (5.3
