System Info

The System Info window displays the current status and system information of the vision system. It also allows you to connect to the selected device with the Connect button, or (when it is running an online job) open its configured Web HMI with the Open HMI button.

To display the device's system information and these buttons, simply select a device on the In-Sight® Device Pane by clicking on it. The System Info window then appears right to the Device Pane.

The displayed information depends on the type and the state of the selected device, and includes the following:

Attribute Description
IP Address The IP address of the selected device.
Mac ID The MAC address of the selected device.
Version The current version of the device firmware.
Current State

The state of the device. The possible states are the following:

  • Booting: The device is booting up.
  • Offline: The device is Offline. No jobs are currently running on the vision system, allowing you to connect and develop applications on it.
  • Online: The device is Online. A configured job is being executed on the vision system.
  • Faulted: The device is unavailable due to a device error. This can occur, for example in case of an unsuccessful firmware update.
  • Not Found: A previously discovered device could not be found. This can occur, for example, if the network settings have changed.
  • The device has been discovered, but a connection cannot be made: The device is detected on the network, but cannot be connected due to an error. This is typically caused by a firmware error.
