1.1 In-Sight 1000 Series Overview
The In-Sight™ 1000 series is a family of compact, high performance, networked
machine vision sensors for high-speed automated inspection, measurement,
identification, alignment, and robot guidance applications on the factory floor.
In-Sight 1000 sensors are configured remotely using an intuitive spreadsheet interface
running on a networked In-Sight PC Host or In-Sight 3000. This spreadsheet also
allows remote monitoring of sensor operation during runtime. In-Sight 1000 sensors
may also be controlled remotely from users’ custom application programs using
In-Sight Native Mode commands to change settings and retrieve inspection results.
The In-Sight 1000 series includes the following models:
§
In-Sight 1000 integrated processor/camera (640 x 480 image resolution, 256
grey levels, 8 bits per pixel).
§
In-Sight 1000C integrated processor/ color camera (640 x 480 image
resolution, RGB primary color mosaic filters, 16 million colors, 24 bits per pixel).
Unless otherwise specified, references to the In-Sight 1000 in this document also apply
to the In-Sight 1000C model.

1.3 Networking an In-Sight 1000 Sensor
An In-Sight 1000 sensor is designed to operate as a host system on an Ethernet
TCP/IP network. For the purposes of the instructions in this manual, an In-Sight
network exists wherever any In-Sight sensor is connected by Ethernet to at least one
other In-Sight sensor or personal computer running In-Sight PC Host software.
In-Sight 1000 sensors may be used in several possible network configurations. For
each configuration, the In-Sight 1000 is configured from the user interface of another
In-Sight system, which also provides the remote display for the In-Sight 1000.

1.3.1 Standalone In-Sight Network Configurations
The simplest In-Sight 1000 networks are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2. In these
basic configurations, a CAT5 crossover cable directly connects a single In-Sight 1000
to a standalone In-Sight PC Host equipped with a network card, or to an In-Sight 3000
processor. Neither the In-Sight PC Host nor the In-Sight 3000 are connected to the
larger factory-floor network.
Figure 1-1: PC – In-Sight 1000 – PC Network
Figure 1-2: In-Sight 1000 – In-Sight 3000 Network

Section: 1: Introduction Installing In-Sight™ 1000 Series Vision Sensors
4
To install multiple In-Sight 1000 sensors onto a standalone In-Sight network, use an
Ethernet switch between the In-Sight 1000 sensors and the In-Sight PC Host or
In-Sight 3000 sensor. Make all connections via standard, straight-pinned CAT5 cable
(Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4).
Figure 1-3: PC – Multiple In-Sight 1000s Network
Figure 1-4: In-Sight 3000 – Multiple In-Sight 1000s Network
The number of In-Sight sensors and In-Sight Hosts that may be installed on a
standalone In-Sight network are limited only by the number of ports available on the
Ethernet switch. To expand a standalone In-Sight network, add Ethernet switches as
needed to increase the number of available ports.

Installing In-Sight™ 1000 Series Vision Sensors Section 1: Introduction

1.3.2 Factory-Floor In-Sight Network Configurations
To take full advantage of their data sharing and remote monitoring capabilities, In-Sight
sensors should be connected to the larger, factory-floor network. The only physical
difference between factory-networked In-Sight sensors and a standalone In-Sight
network is that the Ethernet switch is itself connected to the factory-floor network.
Groups of In-Sight systems connected to the factory-floor network through a common
Ethernet switch are referred to as a local network, or subnet. Figure 1-5 shows a
subnet that includes two In-Sight 1000 sensors, an In-Sight 3000, and an In-Sight PC
Host.
Figure 1-5: Multiple In-Sight 1000 Sensors with In-Sight 3000 and PC Host
NOTE In-Sight 1000 sensors can be connected to the factory network even if there is no In-Sight PC
Host or In-Sight 3000 sensor on the local subnet. In this configuration, any In-Sight 3000
processor or PC Host on any other subnet on the network can provide remote configuration and
display service to the In-Sight 1000 sensors.

2.1 Connecting the In-Sight 1000
The In-Sight sensor has two RJ-45 connector ports opposite the lens mount, as shown
in Figure 2-1: the Network port (left, labeled ENET) and the Breakout port (right,
labeled 24VDC). The Network port provides the Ethernet connection for network
communications. The Breakout port supplies connections for power, I/O, and serial
communications.
Figure 2-1: In-Sight 1000 Network and Breakout Ports
2.1.1 Connecting the Network Cable
If you are connecting to an Ethernet switch:
1 Plug one of the RJ-45 connectors on a CAT5 straight-pinned cable (yellow if
supplied by Cognex) into the ENET port.
2 Plug the other end of the CAT5 straight-pinned cable into an available port on the
switch.

on the In-Sight 1000.
2 Plug the other end of the CAT5 crossover cable into the other system’s Ethernet
port.
2.1.2 Connecting the Breakout Cable
The In-Sight Breakout Cable (P/N 300-0340-15) included with every In-Sight sensor
provides access to the In-Sight 1000 sensor’s power, serial communications, and I/O
lines. The RJ-45 connector on this cable is “keyed” to the notch in the breakout port,
and cannot be inadvertently plugged in to the network port.
See Section 3.2.1: Breakout Port Pin Assignments on page 29 for the Breakout Cable’s
wiring details.
To connect the Breakout Cable to the In-Sight 1000:
1 Verify the 24VDC power supply being used is switched off.
2 Attach the Breakout Cable’s power (white-green wire) and ground (brown wire) to
the corresponding terminals on the power supply.
3 Connect the wires for the acquisition trigger, discrete outputs, and serial
communications to their corresponding terminals on remote devices.
4 Plug the RJ-45 connector into the In-Sight 1000 sensor’s breakout port (labeled
24VDC).
5 Restore power to the 24V supply. The green power LED will indicate that the 1000
is receiving power.

2.1.4 Connecting the I/O Expansion Module
Like the Breakout Module, the optional I/O Expansion Module provides convenient
access to the In-Sight 1000 sensor’s power, serial communications, and discrete I/O
lines. In addition to the two discrete outputs, acquisition trigger, and serial
transmit/receive that are standard on the 1000, the I/O Expansion module provides
the following:
§
8 discrete outputs
§
8 discrete inputs
§
RS232 hardware handshaking
For additional information on connecting an In-Sight I/O Expansion module, see
Section 3.2.1: Breakout Port Pin Assignments on page 29 or the In-Sight Expansion

1 Verify the 24VDC power supply being used is switched off.
2 Optionally, connect the power and ground wires for the acquisition trigger input,
discrete outputs, and discrete inputs into their corresponding terminals on the
Expansion Module.
NOTE The outputs labeled HSOUT0 and HSOUT1 are high-speed outputs direct from the In-Sight 1000
and pass through the Expansion Module. The outputs labeled OUT0 through OUT7 are lower
speed because their signals are processed by the Expansion Module processor before being
sent to remote devices.
3 Optionally, connect the 9-pin male D-sub connector of an RS232 serial cable into
the corresponding 9-pin female connector on the Expansion Module.
4 Plug the Expansion Module Cable’s 15-pin male D-sub connector into the
corresponding female connector on the Expansion Module.
5 Plug the RJ-45 connector of the Expansion Module Cable (P/N 300-0341-15) into
the In-Sight 1000 sensor’s breakout port. The cable’s connectors are “keyed” to the
notch in the Breakout port.
6 Plug wire leads from a 24VDC supply for the +24V power and ground into the 2-pin
terminal plug labeled “Power Input” on the Expansion Module. Alternatively,
remove the terminal plug and insert the 2-pin terminal plug attached to the In-Sight
power adapter into the keyed power adapter port on the Expansion Module ().
7 Restore power to the 24V supply. The green power LED on the 1000 and the +24V
LED on the Expansion Module will indicate that the 1000 is receiving power.
