Hey Tim,
New question. I am adding a Cognex camera to the machine for defect detection. There is an add-on for the camera to be able to establish communication to the PLC and eventually I would be able to access tags in the PLC assigned to the camera with the Flexy. My question is, if in the meantime i wanted to access “tags” in the camera directly, how would I go about doing that? It may be a while before this gets integrated into the PLC program but Id like to monitor some information like pass/fail conditions in the meantime. I can also trigger an FTP file transfer of the image through the camera to start collecting defect images. I know when I access tags in the PLC, I choose ABLogix and then assign a variable in the Flexy to the tag in the PLC. What would be the protocol I would use for the camera? I didn’t know whether this was a Cognex question or eWon question. I dont know if you’re familiar with Cognex or if they’re familiar with you guys. Let me know. Thanks
Tom
