I/O Module Configuration

  1. Connect to a supported vision system from In-Sight Explorer.
  2. Open the I/O Module Configuration dialog.
  3. Select CIO-1400, CIO-1450 or CIO-1460 from the Select I/O Module drop-down list.
  4. Click OK to close the dialog.
  1. Connect to a supported vision system from In-Sight Explorer.
  2. Open the I/O Module Configuration dialog.
  3. Select CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC from the Select I/O Module drop-down list.

  4. Select the appropriate I/O module from the Connect To drop-down list.

    Note: If the I/O module's host name is not displayed in the list, select <Connect by IP Address> and manually enter the I/O module's IP address.

  5. In the Update Time field, specify the time interval required for input and output synchronization (1ms - 500ms; default = 20ms) between the In-Sight Micro vision system and the CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module.

    Note: If excess output signal latency is a problem, decrease the Update Time. However, decrease the Update Time as little as necessary for your application; as the Update Time is decreased, job execution time may be increased.
  6. Optionally, click the Change Settings... button to configure the I/O module's network settings.

    • By default, the In-Sight CIO-MICRO and CIO-MICRO-CC I/O modules are configured dynamically by the DHCP server on startup. A new host name can be assigned, but all other fields in the dialog are disabled.

      Note: If no DHCP server is available, the I/O module times out and binds to a link-local IP address.
    • A static IP address can be used for the CIO-MICRO and CIO-MICRO-CC by un-checking the Use DHCP Server checkbox and setting the appropriate network settings in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS Server, and Domain Name fields.
  7. Click OK to close the dialog.

Before the CIO-WENET I/O module can be configured in In-Sight Explorer, you will first need to assign an IP address to the module. Once the IP address is assigned to the module, it can be configured in In-Sight Explorer:

  1. Connect to a supported vision system from In-Sight Explorer.
  2. Open the I/O Module Configuration dialog.
  3. Select CIO-WENET from the Select I/O Module drop-down list.
  4. In the IP Address field, specify the IP address that you previously assigned to the CIO-WENET.

  5. In the Update Time field, specify the time interval required for input and output synchronization (1ms - 500ms; default = 20ms) between the In-Sight Micro vision system and the CIO-WENET I/O module.

    Note:
    • If excess output signal latency is a problem, decrease the Update Time. However, decrease the Update Time as little as necessary for your application; as the Update Time is decreased, job execution time may be increased.
    • For the CIO-WENET, the synchronization time is 3ms longer than the Update Time.
