Micrologix to Cognex 1020 Communications

1 post in this topic

Does anyone have any experience changing jobs on a Cognex Micro 1020 camera? The PLC is a Micrologix 1400 communicating to the camera via Ethernet. I have the PLC communicating to the camera. I am able to transfer the Instance Attributes for Offline Reason, Inspect Status Register and Online through the MSG instructions. I cannot change jobs using a MSG command. I insure that the camera is offline before attempting to change jobs and the name I am trying to send is under 12 characters and the job name includes the ".job". When I send the command, it gives me an error on the MSG instruction "Error code (in upper byte of MGx:y.22) was returned by comms module or CIP device." This is my first time using a Cognex vision system. Thanks for any help
