the vision system. The following steps illustrate how to connect the In-Sight Micro vision system to the In-Sight
CIO-MICRO or CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module. If neither I/O module is used, a third-party PoE injector or a PoE switch must
be used to supply power to the vision system.

Note: Refer to the In-Sight® CIO-MICRO and CIO-MICRO-CC I/O Module Installation Manual for detailed
connection information.

Connect the Power Wires

CAUTION: Never connect the I/O module to a power source other than 24VDC. Any other voltage creates a risk of
fire or shock and can damage the hardware. Do not connect the 24VDC power source to any terminals other than
the 24VDC + and – power terminals.

1. Verify that the 24VDC power supply being used is unplugged and not receiving power.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the I/O module's power terminals (labeled 24VDC + and –).
3. Insert the 24VDC + and – wires (16 - 22 AWG, solid or stranded wire) from the power supply into the 24VDC +
and – terminals on the I/O module.
4. Tighten the screw terminals with the screwdriver to secure the wire leads in the terminal block; the maximum
torque is 0.1921 Nm (1.7 in-lb).

 Specifications

I/O Specifications
Cable and connector specifications and connection examples for the acquisition trigger input and the high-speed
outputs are provided in the following sections.

Acquisition Trigger Input

The vision system features one acquisition trigger input, which is optically isolated. The acquisition trigger input can be
configured to trigger from either an NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) device.
Table 3-2: Acquisition Trigger Input
Specification Description
Voltage ON: 20 to 28VDC (24VDC nominal)
OFF: 0 to 3VDC (8VDC nominal threshold)
Current ON: 2.0 to 2.9mA
OFF: < 250µA
Resistance: ~10 kOhms
Delay1 In-Sight Micro 1020, 1050, 63µs maximum latency between leading edge of trigger and start of
1100, 1100C, 1110, 1400, acquisition. Input pulse should be minimum of 1 ms wide.
1400C, 1402, 1410, 1412 &
1500
In-Sight Micro 1403 & 1413 81µs maximum latency between leading edge of trigger and start of
acquisition. Input pulse should be minimum of 1 ms wide.
In-Sight Micro 1403C 116µs maximum latency between leading edge of trigger and start of
acquisition. Input pulse should be minimum of 1 ms wide.
The Breakout cable can be used to trigger from an NPN photoelectric sensor or PLC output. Connect TRIGGER+ to
+24VDC and connect TRIGGER- to the output of the photoelectric sensor. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIGGER-
down to 0VDC, turning the opto-coupler ON. For more information, refer to the Breakout Cable Specifications on
page 20.
The Breakout cable can also be used to trigger from a PNP photoelectric sensor or PLC output. Connect TRIGGER+ to
the output of the photoelectric sensor and connect TRIGGER- to 0VDC. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIGGER+ up
to +24VDC, turning the opto-coupler ON. For more information, refer to the Breakout Cable Specifications on page 20.

Figure 3-1: Acquisition Trigger Input Schematic

1 Maximum latency is based on a 1µs trigger debounce.

15
 High-Speed Outputs
The In-Sight Micro vision system features two built-in, high-speed outputs, which are optically isolated. The high-speed
outputs can be used as either NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) lines.
Table 3-3: High-Speed Output Specifications
Specification Description
Voltage 28VDC maximum through external load.
Current 100mA maximum sink current.
OFF state leakage current 100µA maximum.
External load resistance 240 Ohms to 10 kOhms.
Each line rated at a maximum 100mA, protected against over-current, short circuit and transients from
switching inductive loads. High current inductive loads require an external protection diode.
Delay12 5µs (maximum due to opto-isolators turning ON).

For NPN lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (+24VDC
nominal). HS COMMON should be connected to the negative supply voltage (0VDC). The outputs pull down to less than
3VDC when ON, which causes current to flow through the load. When the outputs are OFF, no current flows through the
load.

Figure 3-2: NPN High-Speed Output Schematic

For PNP lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the negative supply voltage (0VDC).
When HS COMMON is connected to the positive supply voltage (+24VDC nominal), the outputs pull up to greater than
21VDC when ON, and current flows through the load. When the outputs are OFF, no current flows through the load.

Figure 3-3: PNP High-Speed Output Schematic

1 Delay when opto-isolators turn OFF depends on the load to which the output is connected. With a 240 Ohm load, the maximum delay will be
35µs.
2 If HS OUT 1 is configured as a Strobe output type within In-Sight Explorer, the maximum strobe latency is 5µs. For more information, refer to
the In-Sight® Explorer Help file.

High-Speed Output - Relay/LED Configuration
The Breakout cable can be used to connect the high-speed outputs to a relay, LED or similar load. Connect the negative
side of the load to the output and the positive side to +24VDC. When the output switches on, the negative side of the load
is pulled down to less than 3VDC, and greater than 21VDC appears across the load. Use a protection diode for a large
inductive load, with the anode connected to the output and the cathode connected to +24VDC. For more information,
refer to the Breakout Cable Specifications on page 20.

Appendix A - Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean the Vision System Housing
To clean the outside of the vision system housing, use a small amount of mild detergent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on
a cleaning cloth. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the vision system housing.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean any In-Sight product with harsh or corrosive solvents, including lye, methyl ethyl
ketone (MEK) or gasoline.

Clean the Vision System Image Sensor Window

To remove dust from the outside of the image sensor window, use a pressurized air duster. The air must be free of oil,
moisture or other contaminants that could remain on the glass and possibly degrade the image. Do not touch the glass
window. If oil/smudges still remain, clean the window with a cotton bud using alcohol (ethyl, methyl or isopropyl). Do not
pour the alcohol directly on the window.
