External Lights

External lights can be connected to the vision system's LIGHT connector using the External Light cable.

Note:
  • External lights are not supported for the In-Sight 9902L line scan vision system.
  • If interference from Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) is experienced under extreme factory conditions, a Fair-Rite ferrite (part number 0431176451) should be added as close to the vision system as practical, with the External Light cable looped through it. For example:

  • If daisy-chaining multiple Cognex IVSL-YLW2X-xxx or IVSL-YLW300-xxx external lights:
    • The lights must be powered externally by a separate power supply.
    • A Cognex control cable (CCB-FOV25-MAL-012) can be used to connect the vision system’s LIGHT connector to the external light and a Cognex power cable (IVSL-5PM12-5) can be used to connect the light to the separate power supply. Only the power and ground wires from the Cognex power cable (IVSL-5PM12-5) should be connected to the remote power supply.
  • If using a Cognex IVSL-LX520-xxx external light:
    • The lights must be powered externally by a separate power supply.
    • A Cognex control cable (CCB-FOV25-MAL-012) can be used to connect the vision system’s LIGHT connector to the external light and a Cognex power cable (IVSL-5PM12-5) can be used to connect the light to the separate power supply. Only the power and ground wires from the Cognex power cable (IVSL-5PM12-5) should be connected to the remote power supply.
    • The following cables must not be used with IVSL-LX520-xxx external lights: IVSL-5PM12-J300, IVSL-5PM12-J500 and IVS‑5PM12‑J1000, IVSL‑5PM12‑J2000.
  • The In-Sight 9912 vision systems supports Cognex IVSL-YL300-xx external lights with the following External Light cables: IVSL-M12-NSB-300, IVSL-M12-NSB-1000 and IVSL-M12-NSB-2000.
