5000 Series Vision Sensors

1.4.2 Configurations Using Switches/Routers

An In-Sight network may be extended to include multiple In-Sight sensors by using a

network router or Ethernet switch. The only limit on the size of this type of network is the

number of routers or switches connected and the number of connections they provide.

The standalone In-Sight network shown in Figure 1-2 includes two sensors and a PC

running In-Sight Explorer, connected by a switch/router. In this configuration, any In-Sight

sensor on the network can be configured using In-Sight Explorer. In-Sight Explorer also

provides additional job storage, and image and data archiving for all In-Sight sensors on the

network. The network switch/router may also connect to another network switch/router,

which in turn could have a similar complement of network sensors.
