We have a big project coming up involving a several Cognex cameras (I don’t know yet which ones, but I believe that In-Sight 7000 Models will be used). And we have never before used vision cameras…
As far I was able to find on the internet, Cognex cameras are able to save an image on every trigger to FTP server, from where you can display them in Ignition. So far so good…
What I’m wondering is: are this images just clean images from a camera or they ‘contain’ also the overlays graphics which can be set in the Cognex software (for ex. name, red circle for fail or something similar…)?
Somewhere I found the info, that overlays are saved as separate .SVG files. Is this true?
If so, how can then I ‘combine’ this two images together and show them in Igniton to the operator?
We will have 7-8 cameras on the assembly line and images will be coming from every camera every few seconds.
If found a few posts here on the forum talking about Cognex, so there must people here, who have experience with this cameras.
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.
