Dear Forum friends,
I'm building an Line tracking demo with our study robot and an cognex camera.
I thought to start simple by following the application example in the insght explorer help file.
I did set up the Fanuc communication over ethernet ip , I get my Digital inputs on my Teach Pendant.
Also the Digital outputs are wording , if I send an trigger then the Cognex does trigger and sends results .
However the DI-DO and GI are responding the GI X position Y position and Angle stay 0
The GI for inspect ion does show a number.
I have checked the walk through from Cognex several times but I don’t see where I made a mistake.
Is there anyone who has tried to do this also?
Is there maybe an reason why the Cognex does work but does not send data ?
In the insght explorer i do see the data to send to Fanuc, but I can’t see what the Cognex does send out to the robot or is there a way?
