Installing the In-Sight 3400®Vision Sensor
Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing the In-Sight 3400 sensor to reduce the risk of injury or
equipment damage:
 Do not connect the In-Sight 3400 sensor to a power source other than 24VDC. Any other voltage
creates a risk of fire or shock and can damage In-Sight components. Always observe the proper
polarity.
 Do not connect or disconnect In-Sight components to any equipment while connected to a power
source. Installing or removing “live” equipment can damage In-Sight 3400 components.
 Do not connect any camera other than the In-Sight cameras specified in this document; this may
damage the remote head camera, the In-Sight sensor, or both.
 Do not install the In-Sight 3400 sensor where it is directly exposed to environmental hazards
such as excessive heat, dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive substances,
flammable substances, or static electricity.
 Do not route In-Sight cables and wires near high-voltage power sources. Route cables and wires
away from high-voltage power sources to reduce the risk of damage or malfunction.
 Do not open the In-Sight 3400 sensor or remote head camera. These devices do not contain
user-serviceable parts.
 Do not make electrical or mechanical modifications to In-Sight components. Unauthorized
modifications may violate your warranty.

1.1 In-Sight 3400 Vision Sensor Overview
The In-Sight®3400 sensor is a compact, network-ready machine vision sensor for automated
inspection, measurement, identification, alignment and robot guidance applications on the factory
floor. The In-Sight 3400 sensor provides an intuitive spreadsheet interface for configuring and
monitoring any In-Sight sensor without using a PC. Use the In-Sight 3400 sensor to configure
other sensors on a factory network, or remotely from another part of the factory or enterprise
network. The spreadsheet also allows local or remote monitoring of the In-Sight sensor’s
operation during runtime without using a PC.
This manual describes how to install the In-Sight 3400 sensor.

is tagged with an 84909-xxxx cable number.
1.4 In-Sight 3400 Sensor Configurations
The In-Sight 3400 sensor can operate as a standalone sensor, or as a host sensor on a factory
network. For the purposes of the instructions in this manual, a network is an In-Sight 3400 sensor
connected over Ethernet to at least one other In-Sight sensor or PC running In-Sight software.
These configurations may require additional components, such as an Ethernet switch or VGA
display. Many optional components may be purchased directly from Cognex. A complete catalog
of In-Sight products and accessories is available on the Cognex web sight at:
www.cognex.com/pdf/downloads/In-Sight-brochure.pdf.

Introduction
Several basic In-Sight 3400 configurations are described in the following sections.
1.4.1 Standalone (No Network) Configuration
A standalone In-Sight 3400 configuration does not include a connection to any other network
device or In-Sight sensor. Figure 1-2 shows the standalone configuration.
The standalone configuration requires a local VGA display to configure applications and monitor
the In-Sight 3400 sensor’s runtime operation. In this configuration, the jobs that can be stored are
limited to the amount of local storage available on the In-Sight 3400 sensor. A remote serial
device must be used for storing image files or for additional job storage.

Installing the In-Sight®3400 Vision Sensor
Configurations Using Switches/Routers
An In-Sight network may be extended to include more than two In-Sight sensors by using a
network router or Ethernet switch. The only limit on the size of this type of network is the number
of routers or switches connected, and the number of connections they provide.
The standalone In-Sight network shown in Figure 1-3 includes an In-Sight 3400 sensor, two
In-Sight 5000 series sensors and a PC running In-Sight Explorer, connected by a switch/router.
In this configuration, any In-Sight sensor on the network can be configured using either the
In-Sight 3400 GUI or the In-Sight Explorer software. In-Sight Explorer also provides additional job
storage, and image and data archiving, for all three In-Sight sensors on the network. The network
switch/router may also connect to another network switch/router, which in turn could have a
similar complement of network sensors.
NOTE In this configuration, the Network cable connecting the In-Sight 3400 sensor to the
switch/router does not use the Crossover Coupler.
Figure 1-3: Standalone In-Sight Network with Switch/Router

Introduction
1.4.2 Adding an In-Sight Network to a Factory Network
Multiple In-Sight networks may be connected to the larger, factory network, combining to create
an In-Sight network of virtually unlimited size. Connecting an In-Sight network to the factory
network allows real-time production data to be accessed remotely from any PC workstation with
network access. For networks that cover large physical areas, an In-Sight 3400 sensor located
on each In-Sight network provides local job configuration and image display for all In-Sight
sensors, without a PC.
As in the example in the previous section, the In-Sight network shown below includes an In-Sight
3400 sensor, two In-Sight 5000 series sensors and a PC running In-Sight Explorer, connected to
the same network switch/router. However, the switch/router for the In-Sight network is now
connected to the factory network through another switch/router, which in turn may host
connections to additional In-Sight networks.

In-Sight 3400 Installation
Table 2-1: In-Sight 3400 Vision Sensor Connections and Indicators
CONNECTOR/
INDICATOR FUNCTION
CONTROL
PAD Connector
Connects the In-Sight Control Pad, which is used to navigate the spreadsheet user
interface. The Control Pad is not required when the In-Sight 3400 sensor is
accessed remotely from a PC running In-Sight software.
PWR LED This PWR LED indicates the power status of the In-Sight 3400 sensor. The LED is
red when the sensor is receiving power during initialization, momentarily switches
from green to orange during the LED start-up test, and then switches back to green
after initialization is completed. If initialization fails, the LED remains red. The LED
blinks red if the power supply is overloaded, causing the power to cycle. If the
sensor is rebooting, the PWR LED is orange.
ENET LED The ENET LED is orange during the LED start-up test, momentarily switches to
green when a network connection is established, and then blinks green and orange
when network traffic is detected. If a network connection cannot be established, the
LED is not lit.
24VDC
Connector
Connects the In-Sight Breakout Cable, which provides connections to an external
power supply, the acquisition trigger input, high-speed outputs and RS-232 serial
communications. Alternatively, this connector is used to attach the I/O Cable to an
optional In-Sight I/O Expansion Module, which adds general-purpose discrete I/O
and light control functionality. Refer to Table 4-7 and Table 4-8, pages 45 and 46.
ENET
Connector
Connects the In-Sight sensor to a network. The ENET connector provides the
Ethernet connection to external network devices. Refer to Table 4-9, page 47.
CAM
Connector
The CAM connector attaches the remote head camera to the In-Sight 3400 sensor.
Refer to Table 4-10, page 48.
CAM LED The CAM LED indicates the status of the remote head camera. The LED is orange
during the LED start-up test and then switches to green when the camera is
connected to the sensor and the synchronization signal is established. The LED is
orange when the camera is acquiring an image and blinks red if the camera loses
sync. If the camera does not sync-lock during initialization, the LED is solid red.
HSOUT 0/1
LEDs
These LEDs indicate the status of the two High-Speed outputs. The applicable LED
is green when active.
USER 0/1
LEDs
The User 0 LED lights green; User 1 lights red when triggered by a user-definable
event. Refer to the “WriteDiscrete” topic in the In-Sight®Explorer Help file for
information on configuring the behavior of User 0/1 LEDs.
VGA
Connector
Connects a standard VGA or flat panel display. A display is not needed when
configuring or monitoring an In-Sight 3400 sensor from a remote PC location.
Refer to Table 4-11, page 49.
