Trigger Cognex with Pro-Face LT-4000 over TCP

4 posts in this topic

Anyone ever control a Cognex camera with a Pro-Face HMI?  I can get communication between the two (i.e. read/write to cells on the Cognex) but I have not figured out how to trigger the camera.  Thought maybe someone on here had done it before.

Thanks!

@jrupp82 Please shown us which model that you use. I have ever use COGNEX Dataman module come with Industrial protocols (SLMP, Modbus TCP etc.) and there are some example PLC program with software. Then you can use HMI LT series (come with PLC ladder) to control it.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to do, I actually have 5 cameras in my setup, (2) IS-5700,  (1) IS-7800, & (2) IS-2000 cameras.  I downloaded a sample project from the ProFace website, but it didn't have an example of triggering the cameras.
