Cognex Communication CardThe Communication card supports the connection of PLCs and photoelectric sensors, aswell as general use I/O devices, such as relays, indicator lights and reject mechanisms.The Communication card also supports connection to either a single-ended or differentialencoder.XX I/O Terminal Block Cable Terminal BlockNote: Only supported for VisionPro.General Wiring NotesRecommended wiring is 12 - 24 AWG, solid or stranded wire. The maximum torque thatcan be applied to the I/O terminal connectors is 0.5 Nm to 0.6 Nm (4.4 in-lb to 5.3 in-lb).Applying torque above this limit can damage the connectors.There are two sets of inputs: INPUTS 0 - 3 share the INPUT COMMON 1 connection andINPUTS 4 - 7 share the INPUT COMMON 2 connection. Therefore the input devices for eachset of inputs must be the same; either current sinking or current sourcing.There are four sets of outputs: OUTPUTS 0 - 3 share the OUTPUT COMMON 1 connection;OUTPUTS 4 - 7 share the OUTPUT COMMON 2 connection; OUTPUTS 8 - 11 share theOUTPUT COMMON 3 connection; and OUTPUTS 12 - 15 share the OUTPUT COMMON 4connection. Therefore the output devices for each set of outputs must be the same; eithercurrent sinking or current sourcing.OUTPUTS 0 - 7 provide up to 50mA current (maximum). OUTPUTS 8 - 15 provide up to100mA of current (maximum).Signal NamesPin LabelSignalPin LabelSignalPin LabelSignal1INPUT 014OUTPUT 026OUTPUT 82INPUT 115OUTPUT 127OUTPUT 93INPUT 216OUTPUT 228OUTPUT 104INPUT 317OUTPUT 329OUTPUT 115INPUT 418OUTPUT 430OUTPUT 126INPUT 519OUTPUT 531OUTPUT 137INPUT 620OUTPUT 632OUTPUT 148INPUT 721OUTPUT 733OUTPUT 159INPUT COMMON122OUTPUT COMMON 134OUTPUT COMMON 310INPUT COMMON 223OUTPUT COMMON 235OUTPUT COMMON 411ENCODER B-24ENCODER B 36UNUSED12ENCODER A-25ENCODER B-37UNUSED13ENCODER GROUNDCGCHASSIS GROUNDLGLED GROUNDOUTPUT 12OUTPUT COMMON 4Cognex Communications Card with Terminal BlockCognex Communication Card with Terminal Block 24 VCD -–For more information and additional wiring examples: See the Cognex Communication Card Installation Manual.Strobe2021
