Procedure to load or change the job on In-Sight Vision Suite camera In-Sight 3800/In-Sight 2800/In-Sight 8900 using Modbus TCP.
- Save each job file starting with an integer value between 000–999.
Example: 01_Job1, 02_Job2, 03_Job3, etc. - Enable Modbus TCP on the In-Sight Vision Suite camera as described in the documentation
How to enable the Modbus TCP communication - Modbus TCP supports four distinct address spaces. There are 2 bit address space and 2 word (16-bit) address spaces.
- Coil: Bit type address space. Output from PLC, input to vision system
- Discrete Input: Bit type address space. Input to PLC, output from vision system
- Holding Register: Word type address space. Both Input & Output from vision system
- Input Register: Word type address space. Input to PLC, output from vision system
| Block Name | Address Space | Offset | Schneider Form Addressing | Quantity |
| Vision Control | Coil | 0 | 000000 – 000031 | 1 – 32 |
| Holding Register | 0 | 400000 – 400001 | 1 – 2 | |
| Vision Status | Discrete Input | 0 | 100000 – 100031 | 1 – 32 |
| Holding Register | 100 | 400100 – 400101 | 1 – 2 | |
| Input | Holding Register | 2000 | 402000 – 404000 | 1 – 2001 |
| Output | Holding Register | 7000 | 407000 – 409004 | 1 – 2005 |
| Input Register | 2000 | 302000 – 304004 | 1 – 2005 | |
| String Command | Holding Register | 1000 | 401000 – 401999 | 1 – 1000 |
| String Command Result | Input Register | 1000 | 301000 – 301999 | 1 – 1000 |
| Holding Register | 6000 | 406000 – 406999 | 1 – 1000 |
Note : For detailed bit mapping and complete descriptions of each behavior, refer to the documentation.
Loading a Job Using Holding Registers
- Ensures the camera is online
Set Bit 40100.7 = HIGH - Check the Current Job ID
Read Register 407000 (WORD format) - Set Camera Into Communication Offline Mode
Set Bit 40000.7 = HIGH - Write the Job ID to Be Loaded
Write the desired Job Number to Register 402000 .Example values: 00, 01, 02, 03, … - Execute the Load Command
Set Bit 40000.4 = HIGH - Verify Job Load Completion
Monitor Bit 40100.5 (Command Completed)
When HIGH, the job has been successfully loaded. - Confirm the Job Loaded
Re-read Register 407000 to ensure it matches the expected Job ID. - Reset Bits
Turn OFF Bit 40100.7 and Bit 40000.4
