CommunicationCommunicationThe Communication step is used to define inspection results for open data access and exchange (OPC), to configure an EasyView for the VisionView® Operator Interface Panel, exporting images via FTP or o tthe SD Card, and to define the network and serial communication settings of In-Sight vision systems, enabling them to communicate data to and from other devices, such as a robot or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)/Motion Controller (MC).
Note: The In-Sight 2000 series vision sensor does not support OPC Server.
Exporting Images or Data to SD Card
Note: This feature is supported only on the In-Sight vision systems on which the SD card is installed.
Notes:
Up to two protocols can be added to a job. When adding two protocols, you can add one "primary" protocol and one "secondary" protocol. For example, after adding the SLMP Scanner protocol (primary), you click the Add Device button again and add the TCP/IP protocol (secondary).
Note: You cannot add two "primary" protocols or two "secondary" protocols to a job.
