Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing In-Sight 5000 series vision systems to reduce the risk of
injury or equipment damage:
• In-Sight 5000 series vision systems are intended to be supplied by a UL or NRTL listed
power supply with a 24VDC output rated for at least 600 mA continuous and a maximum
short circuit current rating of less than 8A and a maximum power rating of less than 100VA
and marked Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS). Any other voltage creates a risk of fire
or shock and can damage the In-Sight components.
• Do not install In-Sight 5000 series vision systems where they are directly exposed to
environmental hazards such as excessive heat, dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration,
corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static electricity.
• To reduce the risk of damage or malfunction due to over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic
discharge (ESD), power surges, or other irregularities in the power supply, route all cables
and wires away from high-voltage power sources.
• The housing of the vision system is internally connected to the system ground wire (pin 8 of
the Breakout cable). Therefore, if the mounting surface of the vision system is at a non-zero
ground potential, it is strongly recommended that the vision system be mounted on an
isolated or non-conductive mount.
• Do not expose the CCD to laser light; CCDs can be damaged by direct, or reflected, laser
light. If your application requires the use of laser light that may strike the CCD, a lens filter at
the corresponding laser's wavelength is recommended. Contact your local integrator or
application engineer for suggestions.
• Do not open the In-Sight 5000 series vision system 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.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• Cable shielding can be degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out more quickly if a
bend radius or service loop is tighter than 10X the cable diameter.
• Service loops should be included with all cable connections.

I/O Specifications
Cable and connector specifications and connection examples for the Acquisition Trigger input,
encoder inputs (In-Sight 5604 only) and the high-speed outputs are provided in the following
sections.
Acquisition Trigger Input
The acquisition trigger input on the vision system is opto-isolated. To trigger from an NPN (pull-
down) type photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect pin 2 (TRG+) to +24V and connect pin 3
(TRG–) to the output of the photoelectric sensor. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRG– down to
0V, turning the opto-coupler ON.
To trigger from a PNP (pull-up) photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect pin 2 (TRG+) to the

pulls TRG+ up to 24V, turning the opto-coupler ON.

Note:
When using the vision system with the Breakout cable, the polarity of the input trigger (pins 2 and
3) is not critical. However, when using the optional Breakout or I/O modules, the polarity of the
TRG+ and TRG– terminals should be observed.

Encoder Inputs (In-Sight 5604 only)
The Breakout cable (see Tabl e 9 on page 21 for cable pin-outs) can be used for communication
between the In-Sight 5604 line scan vision system and a single or quadrature encoder. For single
encoders, Pin 6 must be used; for quadrature encoders, pins 6 or 7 can be used. The signal from the
encoder must be 24V (other input specifications are listed in Table 7).

High-Speed Outputs
In-Sight 5000 series vision systems feature two built-in, high-speed outputs.
Table 8: High-Speed Output Specifications
Specification Description
Both of the high-speed outputs are NPN (pull-down) lines. The external load should be connected
between the output and the positive supply voltage (<28V). The outputs pull down to <0.1V when ON
(<1.25V for In-Sight 5604 only), which causes current to flow through the load. When the outputs are
OFF, no current flows through the load.
Example 1
To connect the high-speed outputs to a relay, LED or similar load, connect the negative side of the
load to the output and the positive side to +24V. When the output switches on, the negative side of
the load is pulled down to 0V, and 24V appears across the load. Use a protection diode for a large
inductive load, with the anode connected to the output and the cathode connected to +24V.

Example 2
To connect to an NPN-compatible PLC input, connect Output 0 or Output 1 directly to the PLC input.
When enabled, the output pulls down the PLC input to 0V.
Figure 7: High-Speed Output Connection Example 2
Example 3
High-Speed outputs can also be used with a PNP-compatible PLC input if a pull-up resistor (for
example, 2.2k 0.5W) is connected from the output to +24V. In this case, the resistor supplies 24V to
the PLC input. The output will pull the voltage down to 0V, turning off the PLC input. This creates an
inversion, with the PLC input ON when the In-Sight output is OFF, and vice-versa. Use an external
NPN to PNP converter when this inversion is not desired.
