Industrial Communications Signals

The In-Sight vision system utilizes a fixed set of pre-named signals which can be used to transfer data and results to and/or from a PLC and the vision system.

For all of the signals to be active, the vision system must meet the following requirements:

Its Trigger Mode property must be set to Industrial Ethernet,
It must be Online and,
Its $System.OnlineEnabled tag must be set to True.

Note: The signals are shared between both EtherNet/IP and PROFINET, however, they are mapped into the systems differently. For the specifics of the signal mapping for each protocol, see the EtherNet/IP I/O Assembly Data Format Assemblies and PROFINET IO Module Reference Tabletopics.
