Introduction

The In-Sight® CIO-MICRO and CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module provide a convenient way to access built-in features of the In‑Sight vision system:

  • For the In-Sight Micro and In-Sight 5000 series vision systems, the module provides access to the vision system's power, serial, trigger, and high-speed output connections.
  • For the In-Sight 7000 series vision system, the module provides access to the vision system's serial connections.

These modules also extend the capabilities of the vision system by providing:

  • 8 discrete inputs and 8 discrete outputs, optically isolated and over-voltage protected.
  • LED status indicators for all discrete inputs and outputs.
  • Support for current sinking (NPN) and current sourcing (PNP) devices.
  • Hardware handshaking for serial communications.
  • CC-Link communication capability (CIO-MICRO-CC only).
  • Removable terminal blocks.
  • DIN-rail mountable.
Note:
  • The CIO-MICRO & CIO-MICRO-CC I/O modules support In-Sight 5100 series and 5400 series vision systems with 128MB non-volatile flash memory or higher and support all In-Sight 5600 series vision systems.
  • For the purposes of this manual, the term “I/O module” refers to both the CIO-MICRO and CIO-MICRO-CC I/O modules, unless otherwise noted.
