Load a Job or Recipe Through an Ethernet/IP PLC

Perform the following steps to change the job or recipe running on the vision system through an RSLogix PLC.

1. If you are loading a new job, then first place the vision system to a Paused state by setting the Set Paused bit high.

   Note: You can skip this step when changing recipes.

     Instance	Byte	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1	Bit 0
     21	0	Set Paused	Clear Error	Reserved	Execute Command	Reserved		Buffer Results Enable	Trigger Enable

   • See the below table when using an In-Sight D900 series vision system:

     Instance	Byte	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1	Bit 0
     23	0	Set Paused	Reserved		Execute Command	Inspection Results Acknowledge	Buffer Results Enable	Trigger	Trigger Enable
     	1	Reserved
     	2	Reserved				Clear Exposure Complete	Clear Error	Reserved	Set User Data

     	8 .. 495	User Data 0 - 487
     	Instance	Byte
     	23	0
     	1	Reserved

2. Use the applicable Command ID in the command block to initiate the job/recipe change.

   Name	Command ID (Hex)	Command ID (Dec)
   Load Job by Name	0x4000	16384
   Load Job by ID	0x0-0x3E7	0-999
   Load Recipe by Name	0x4001	16385
   Load Recipe by ID	0x3E8-0x7CF	1000-1999

   Tip: If you want to load a job from the SD card inserted into the vision system, then use the Load Job by Name method.

   • Write the Command ID of the selected action into bytes 2-3 when using an In-Sight ViDi PC device:

     Instance	Byte	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1	Bit 0
     21	0	Set Paused	Clear Error	Reserved	Execute Command	Reserved		Buffer Results Enable	Trigger Enable
     	1	Reserved
     	2..3	Command ID
     	4..7	External Event 0-31
     	8..15	Reserved
     	16	Reserved				Set User Data 0	Clear Exposure Complete 0	Inspection Results Acknowledge 0	Trigger Camera 0
     	17	Reserved				Set User Data 1	Clear Exposure Complete 1	Inspection Results Acknowledge 1	Trigger Camera 1
     	18	Reserved				Set User Data 2	Clear Exposure Complete 2	Inspection Results Acknowledge 2	Trigger Camera 2
     	19	Reserved				Set User Data 3	Clear Exposure Complete 3	Inspection Results Acknowledge 3	Trigger Camera 3
     	20..499	User Data 0...479

   • Write the Command ID of the selected action into bytes 4-5 or 6-7 when using an In-Sight D900 series vision system:

     Instance	Byte	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1	Bit 0
     23	0	Set Paused	Reserved		Execute Command	Inspection Results Acknowledge	Buffer Results Enable	Trigger	Trigger Enable
     	1	Reserved
     	2	Reserved				Clear Exposure Complete	Clear Error	Reserved	Set User Data
     	3	External Event 7	External Event 6	External Event 5	External Event 4	External Event 3	External Event 2	External Event 1	External Event 0
     	4 .. 5	Command ID
     	6 .. 7
     	8 .. 495	User Data 0 - 487
     	Instance	Byte
     	23	0
     	1	Reserved

3. If you perform the Load Job by Name or Load Recipe by Name action, then write the job name (without the *.jobx extension) or the recipe name into the User Data command block.

   Note: The job/recipe name must be null terminated (that is, a 0 must be added in the byte immediately following the job/recipe name).

   • If you use an In-Sight ViDi PC device, then write the job/recipe name into bytes 20-499 (User Data) of the command block:

     Instance	Byte	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1	Bit 0
     21	0	Set Paused	Clear Error	Reserved	Execute Command	Reserved		Buffer Results Enable	Trigger Enable
     	1	Reserved
     	2..3	Command ID
     	4..7	External Event 0-31
     	8..15	Reserved
     	16	Reserved				Set User Data 0	Clear Exposure Complete 0	Inspection Results Acknowledge 0	Trigger Camera 0
     	17	Reserved				Set User Data 1	Clear Exposure Complete 1	Inspection Results Acknowledge 1	Trigger Camera 1
     	18	Reserved				Set User Data 2	Clear Exposure Complete 2	Inspection Results Acknowledge 2	Trigger Camera 2
     	19	Reserved				Set User Data 3	Clear Exposure Complete 3	Inspection Results Acknowledge 3	Trigger Camera 3
     	20..499	User Data 0...479

   • If you use an In-Sight D900 series vision system, then write the job/recipe name into bytes 8-495 (User Data) of the command block:

     Instance	Byte	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1	Bit 0
     23	0	Set Paused	Reserved		Execute Command	Inspection Results Acknowledge	Buffer Results Enable	Trigger	Trigger Enable
     	1	Reserved
     	2	Reserved				Clear Exposure Complete	Clear Error	Reserved	Set User Data
     	3	External Event 7	External Event 6	External Event 5	External Event 4	External Event 3	External Event 2	External Event 1	External Event 0
     	4 .. 5	Command ID
     	6 .. 7
     	8 .. 495	User Data 0 - 487
     	Instance	Byte
     	23	0
     	1	Reserved

4. Set the Execute Command bit in the command block by triggering Bit 4 of Byte 0, as shown below.

   • See the below table when using an In-Sight ViDi PC device:

     Instance	Byte	Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1	Bit 0
