DeviceNet Serial Port Settings

EasyBuilder automatically defaults to standard DeviceNet controller serial port settings. If your controller uses different settings, click the Serial Port Settings tab and configure the In-Sight vision system to use the same serial port settings. The serial port settings will be saved to the In-Sight vision system upon leaving the Communication step.

Note:
  • DeviceNet is only available on In-Sight vision systems using In-Sight firmware 4.x.x, and is not available on In-Sight vision systems running In-Sight firmware 5.1.0 and later.
  • The DeviceNet settings require a third-party RS-232-to-DeviceNet Gateway adapter. These settings are available for legacy installations and should not be used in new applications, unless the RS-232-to-DeviceNet Gateway converter has been thoroughly tested to verify it is suitable for the application.

  • The Serial Port Settings options vary per In-Sight model and applicable I/O module. If connected to a supported I/O module, first click the I/O Module button to open the I/O Module Configuration dialog and configure the I/O module.

  • In-Sight Micro 1000 series vision systems support serial communication only when connected to the CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module.

  • There are two options for enabling serial communication for the In-Sight 70xx - 74xx series vision system: using the Breakout cable or using the CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module. When connected to the Breakout cable (and there is no connection to an I/O module), the vision system allows one discrete input line and one discrete output line to be configured as Serial Receive and Serial Transmit, respectively.
  • If the In-Sight 70xx - 74xx series vision system is configured for use with the CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module, the RS-232 TRANSMIT and RS-232 RECEIVE pins on the Power and I/O Breakout cable are disabled. Use the I/O module's RS-232 OUT port (DB9) to connect to a serial device.
  • In-Sight 8000 series vision systems only support serial communication when connected to the CIO-MICRO I/O module.

  • The CIO-WENET I/O module does not support serial communication.
