Cognex 8101 with YRC1000

    I can't find any information on how to trigger camera or send I/O to or from YRC1000 (non micro) controller without using MotoSight 2D.

    My aplication requires me to trigger camera when I arrive in position and then calculate offset of a product. So i would require 1 input (trigger) and 3 outputs (x,y,rot). Is there any chance I need IO extention card or MotoSight?

    Approved the thread.

    How is the camera talking to the controller? Ethernet I/P, Ethernet, Profi, etc.


    You will have more signals than you listed. Typically, I have for inputs:

    Inspection Complete
    Inspection Pass (Data Ready)
    X Data is Negative
    Y Data is Negative
    X Coordinate Data Bit 0
    X Coordinate Data Bit 1
    X Coordinate Data Bit 2
    X Coordinate Data Bit 3
    X Coordinate Data Bit 4
    X Coordinate Data Bit 5
    X Coordinate Data Bit 6
    X Coordinate Data Bit 7
    X Coordinate Data Bit 8
    X Coordinate Data Bit 9
    X Coordinate Data Bit 10
    X Coordinate Data Bit 11
    X Coordinate Data Bit 12
    X Coordinate Data Bit 13
    X Coordinate Data Bit 14
    X Coordinate Data Bit 15
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 0
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 1
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 2
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 3
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 4
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 5
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 6
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 7
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 8
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 9
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 10
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 11
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 12
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 13
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 14
    Y Coordinate Data Bit 15
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 0
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 1
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 2
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 3
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 4
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 5
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 6
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 7
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 8
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 9
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 10
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 11
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 12
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 13
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 14
    Theta Coordinate Data Bit 15

    Outputs I typically have:

    Camera Change of State 0=Neutral State 1=Acquire
    Camera Command 100=Acquire on Change of State
    Vision acquire enable

    I know a thing or two, because I’ve seen a thing or two. Don't even ask about a third thing. I won't know it.

    Its communicating via Profinet. Here are all the IOs the app shows. Have i missed any settings? In the communications tab i added robot>motoman>serial motoman

    Thanks for the answers.

    PS: Im a rookie so it might be a silly mistake.
