Matrox Vision Academy

Establishing communication between Matrox Design Assistant and a PLC using EtherNet/IP

When a vision system needs to communicate with a PLC through EtherNet/IP, Matrox Design Assistant’s Quick Comm facility can help. In this course, participants will learn how to do basic configurations of the EtherNet/IP protocol as well as the timing sequence between a PLC and vision system when using the Quick Comm feature. Includes a number of demonstrations of how to set up a Matrox vision system with ladder logic software, trigger a camera and return results to a PLC, send and receive data from a PLC, and change recipes from a PLC.
