Trigger Input

The I/O module provides inputs for triggering the In-Sight Micro or In-Sight 5000 series vision system (TRIGGER + or TRIGGER -). When the I/O module is connected to the vision system, trigger input signals travel directly through the I/O module and are optically isolated in the vision system. Trigger inputs are typically connected (directly or indirectly) to a sensor (such as a photo-detector). Refer to Wiring Inputs and Outputs for common wiring configurations.

CAUTION:  When connecting the In-Sight 7000 series vision system to the CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module, the I/O module's TRIGGER+ and TRIGGER- terminals are not supported. Do not connect wire leads from remote devices to these terminals.
