Cognex I/O Modules

Cognex I/O modules are designed to complement their vision systems, providing digital and analog connectivity between Cognex vision sensors and other industrial automation equipment. These modules enable Cognex vision systems to communicate with PLCs, actuators, sensors, and other industrial devices through standard I/O protocols. They offer various options for digital inputs and outputs, supporting both sinking and sourcing configurations, and typically feature status LEDs for easy troubleshooting. The I/O modules can be mounted on DIN rails and are designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments. Common applications include triggering image acquisition, sending pass/fail results, and controlling reject mechanisms in inspection systems.
