Installation

Connect the Ethernet and Power
The vision system’s PoE connector provides the Ethernet connection for network communications and supplies power to
the vision system. The following steps illustrate how to connect the vision system to the In-Sight CIO-MICRO I/O module.
If the CIO-MICROI/O module is not used, a third-party PoE injector or a PoE switch must be used to supply power to the
vision system.
Note: The CIO-MICRO I/O module does not support 1000 BaseT pass-through operation. If 1000 BaseT operation
is required, you must connect an RJ-45 LAN cable from a Gigabit PoE switch to the I/O module’s LAN port and
connect the vision system’s Ethernet cable to the Gigabit PoE switch.
Connect the Power Wires
CAUTION:Never connect the I/O module to a power source other than 24VDC. Any other voltage creates a risk of
fire or shock and can damage the hardware. Do not connect the 24VDC power source to any terminals other than
the 24VDC + and – power terminals.
1. Verify that the 24VDC power supply being used is unplugged and not receiving power.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the I/O module's power terminals (labeled 24VDC + and –).
3. Insert the 24VDC + and – wires (16 - 22 AWG, solid or stranded wire) from the power supply into the 24VDC +
and – terminals on the I/O module.
4. Tighten the screw terminals with the screwdriver to secure the wire leads in the terminal block; the maximum
torque is 0.1921 Nm (1.7 in-lb).
18
Installation

wire to frame ground.
CAUTION:The shield ground connections of the RS-232 port, LAN port, PoE port, I/O port and Frame Ground
terminal are internally connected. The system grounding is designed to be at a zero ground potential; this zero
ground potential extends through the cable and to peripheral equipment (e.g. a vision system, PLC, etc.). To ensure
safe operating conditions, it is strongly recommended that all ground connections are checked to ensure that a zero
ground potential is met.
19
Installation

Connect an RJ-45 LAN Cable
To connect the vision system to an Ethernet network, plug a LAN cable (RJ-45 connector) into the I/O module’s LAN port
and connect the other end of the cable to a switch/router or PC, as applicable.
