#3362 - Keyence XG-X Vision Controller not Triggering from External Trigger


PROBLEM
  1. RDC machine uses External Trigger 2 to trigger capture with Keyence XG-X Controller/Line Scan Camera
  2. XG-X controller is not being triggered to capture image from Line Scan Camera

INVESTIGATION

  2. Looking at SYSCO wiring diagram, there is no 24V+ before the NO switch

ROOT CAUSE
  1. No 24V+ applied between COM IN1 and COM

SOLUTION
  1. Correct wiring to apply 24V+ between COM IN1 and COM


IMPLEMENTATION
  1. Rewire EXT2 to XG-X controller as new SYSCO drawing
  2. Enable External 2 Trigger at 50mm pitch
  3. Customer see Line Scan camera trigger every 50mm
