I am about to start working on developing a vision system for reading in a serial number on a motor. It is already specified for a slc 5/05 processor and cognex insight 3400. Also there will be an AB Panelview to manually enter the correct serial number if there is an error. This is my first time using a vision system at all. My question is will I be able to talk direct from SLC 5/05 to the 3400 directly over ethernet or will I have to use an OPC server. Also, is a PC going to be required? And Insight Explorer does it have to run on a PC or is the jobs stored in the camera? Please provide some assistance. If more info is needed please ask. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
