Example: Verify a ControlLogix Connection - In-Sight 4.x.x Firmware

For I/O messaging, the In-Sight vision system has been added as an input/output device in a ControlLogix project. After this project is downloaded to the controller, the I/O connection will be established (as is the case with other I/O devices - unless the Inhibit Module checkbox is set to Offline). Once a successful connection has been established, cyclic data transfers will be initiated, at the requested RPI.

To verify a proper I/O connection, follow these steps:

Working Offline, perform the ControlLogix configuration steps from the applicable Establishing a Unicast Implicit Connection topic as outlined in Communicate with a Rockwell ControlLogix PLC.
Download the project to the ControlLogix controller.
Upon the completion of the download, the I/O device that corresponds to the In-Sight vision system should show no errors; this signifies that the I/O connection has been completed successfully.
To verify the correct, 2-way transfer of I/O data, connect to the In-Sight vision system via In-Sight Explorer. Open the AcquireImage property sheet and set the Trigger parameter to External or Industrial Ethernet.
Place the vision system Online.
In RSLogix, go to the controller tags and change the state of the TriggerEnable bit from 0 to 1, enabling triggering of acquisitions over EtherNet/IP, as shown below:
After this has been set, whenever the Trigger bit is changed from 0 to 1, the In-Sight vision system will acquire an image.
After the inspection is completed, the InspectionCompleted toggle bit should change state, as shown below:
