Connect the DS900 Series Sensor
The DS900 series sensor's Ethernet connector provides an Ethernet connection
and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the sensor. The sensor's multifunction port
provides access to I/O connections.
CAUTION:
Cognex recommends only cold-plugging the DS900 series sensor;
l
turn the vision controller power off when connecting or disconnecting
the DS900 series sensor.
The vision controller's CAM ports provide Power over Ethernet (PoE)
l
to supported Cognex devices; connecting other PoE devices to these
ports could damage the vision controller or the PoE device.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable's M12 connector to the DS900 series sensor.
Connect the cable's RJ-45 connector to one of the vision controller's CAM
ports.
Note: Your specific configuration and firmware version may support
between 1 and 4 sensors. Regardless of how many sensors your
device supports or how many sensors you connect, you should
always connect the first sensor to port 0, the second sensor to port 1,
and so on.
