Connecting to an In-Sight Sensor or Emulator
The Select an In-Sight Sensor or Emulator group box lists the available In-Sight vision systems/sensors and emulators. Only one vision system/sensor or emulator can be connected at a time; the information of the connected vision system/sensor (name, model, etc.) will be displayed in the Sensor Information group box.
If you are not connected to the desired vision system/sensor or emulator in the list, do one of the following:
- Double-click on the desired vision system/sensor or emulator in the list.
- Select the desired vision system/sensor or emulator in the list and click the Connect button.
Click the Disconnect button if you want to discontinue connection with the connected sensor or emulator.
The settings pane contains other controls for:
Note:
- If another user is already logged on to the desired vision system/sensor/emulator, a warning message will appear. Click Yes to disconnect the other user from the destination system and continue with the logon process. Click No to cancel the logon attempt and return to EasyBuilder.
- If you are not authorized to connect to the desired vision system/sensor/emulator, the Log On/Off dialog will appear.
- If you are having difficulty connecting to your vision system/sensor and the network, the problem may be your network card.
- When enabling the Continuous Trigger Type on the In-Sight 2000 series vision sensor, since the CPU of the sensor gets heavily loaded, it is likely that the communication between In-Sight Explorer and the sensor fails. In that case, please choose a different Trigger Type or adjust the Trigger Interval.
- When connecting to In-Sight vision systems/sensors, the availability of certain Location and Inspection Tools is based on the model type.
