Introduction:
The In-Sight 2000 is a vision sensor, capable of providing a pass/fail output from the inspection of a
part. It is easier to use than a full vision system but has capabilities beyond a basic photosensor or
proximity sensor, or even an array of sensors. It uses the same software used for programming a
Cognex In-Sight vision system, so you don’t need to learn a separate software to configure it.
You will learn about the In-Sight 2000, its components, interchangeable parts, configuring an IP
address, connecting to the IS2000 and programming an inspection. This document will also serve
as a reference for the primary functionality of EasyBuilder and the stepwise process for building an
inspection.
In the first lab you will be guided in each step, which will be explained in detail. After that you can
use your own parts (if you brought some) to create an inspection for your application or use our
parts and create an inspection according to set criteria.

Connecting to the IS2000
Once you have installed the software you can communicate to the In-Sight 2000. As it
communicates over Ethernet TCP/IP you will need to provide it with an IP address so that it will
communicate to your computer. As a default all In-Sight systems are configured as DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) so out of the box it is expecting to be “served” an IP address. If your
computer does not have DHCP Server software on it (most computers don’t) then you need to
assign the In-Sight 2000 and your computer static IP addresses. This section will show you how to
do that. Launch In-Sight Explorer version 5.2.3 from the icon on your desk top if it is not already
open. When it opens you will see at the left side a pane labeled Application Steps and the first step
is Get Connected; place your cursor on this step and click the mouse to select it (if it is not already
highlighted) (Fig. 1).

When this step is selected the pane just below it will appear as seen in Fig. 2. Any In-Sight system
that is on the same subnet as the computer will appear here. If you have obtained an offline
programming key, the name of your computer will appear in this pane followed by local emulator.
This means that you can work with the software without being connected to an In-Sight vision
system.
The Connect button will establish a connection to the system selected in the list. The Disconnect
button will cause the software to be disconnected from the system to which it is currently connected.
The Refresh button will refresh the list of systems in the left side of the pane that are currently on the
same subnet as the computer. The Add button will launch a dialog to assign an IP address to a
system not on the same subnet as the computer. The Emulator button allows you to select which
system you would like to emulate if using the offline programming functionality.
Click the Add button to launch the Add Sensor dialog (Fig. 3 on next page)..

The connected In-Sight 2000 should have been discovered and displayed in the list of devices.
Click on the line that shows the unit to select it. From this dialog you can change the name of the
unit if you desire. Notice that at this point the setting of the IP address is selected as DHCP. Click
on the radio button next to Use The Following Network Settings. When you do this the entry fields
and button below it become active (no longer grayed out). If you know the subnet of your computer
and what address you would like to use and the subnet mask you can enter those into the
appropriate fields. An easier method is to click the Copy PC Network Settings button. This will use
the settings of the Ethernet network adapter in your computer to assign an appropriate IP address
and the subnet mask to your In-Sight 2000. This assumes that your computers Ethernet network
adapter is not set to DHCP.
From this dialog you can also reset the administrative logon password (if it had been set and
forgotten) and reset the entire system to factory defaults; all system settings except for the IP
address will be reset.

Click Apply at the bottom of the dialog; when you do this another dialog (Fig. 4) will appear, warning
you of the changes about to take place. Click OK at the bottom of the message box to continue with
changing the IP Address. When the process has finished another message box will appear noting
the success of the change; click OK at the bottom of this dialog as well. Click Close at the bottom of
the Add Sensor/Device to Network dialog.
When the dialog closes you should now see your In-Sight 2000 listed in the pane showing In-Sight
systems on your subnet (Fig. 2 on page 3). Click on it to select it and click the Connect button. You
will see the software appearance change while attempting to connect to the In-Sight 2000 and after
several seconds you will then see that it is connected. You are ready to move to the next
application step.

Click on the Set Up Image application step button (Fig 5). When you do this the pane at the bottom
will change to show the image acquisition settings.
