Triggering Problems
No Trigger is Received
If you are not receiving a trigger, verify the following:
•
The trigger is wired to the /IsoIn(0)+ and TrigIn–/IsoIn(0)–
signals.
•
If TrigIn/IsoIn(0) and IsoIn(1) are both being used, that the devices
they are connected to are either both sinking (NPN) or both sourcing
(PNP).
•
The trigger is connected correctly based on the type of sensor it
is—sourcing or sinking. Refer to the
section of
Chapter 2,
, for information about connecting isolated
inputs.
•
The sensor power supply is of appropriate voltage for interfacing to
NI Smart Camera isolated inputs. Refer to the
section
of Chapter 2,
, for information about isolated inputs.
