Clopedandle Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Has anyone here tried to use Cognex In-Sight cameras over EtherCAT by chance? If so, is it pretty much plug-and-play, or is a lot of painful XML hacking required in order to map the PDOs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clopedandle Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Replying to myself, after speaking to a Cognex rep., they do not support EtherCAT. Never mind then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEJR Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The PPMAC does have rich ethernet capabilities and Insight supports telnet, raw ethernet, and modbus TCP. Depending on what you are doing with it you shoudl be able to communicate one way or the other. You may have to write a C program to do your interfacing but this is builtin nicely with the rest of the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
