Connection Cognex Camera

[angele1965 0]

I am new using Omron Sysmac. and I will need some advice who to connect a Insight Cognex 9000 camera to a NJ PLC. I saw a video in YouTube where the used a Cognex Library in the sysmac program.

Where I can get this library.

Thanks in advance

You will connect via EtherNet/IP. in your Built-in EtherNet/IP Connection Settings, right click in the Target Device window in the upper right, then choose Display EDS Library. Install the Cognex EDS files (select them all) from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cognex\In-Sight\In-Sight Explorer 6.2.1\Factory Protocol Description\EDS" directory. This is assuming you have Cognex In-sight Explorer installed.

This should get you started.

I think all Cognex mapping is the same but I would double check that. This structure is for an 8500 series that we are using. Also, adjust the End Byte to match the data size you choose.
