External Lights

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

Note:
  • The vision system supports connecting an integrated illumination accessory to the vision system's faceplate and connecting an external light to the vision system's LIGHT connector, but does not support using both lighting devices simultaneously.
  • 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 vision system 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.
