Connect Microscan Nerlite Smart lights to Cognex 7000 Series

The 7000 series has a built in Light connection.  It is a direct connection to Smart Vision and CCL lights but not for the Microscan Smart Lights.  But it is possible.  Get the standard flying lead cable and put a photoeye connector on the flying lead end that goes to the camera.  Pin 1 is brown, Pin 2 is not used, Pin 3 gets the blue and white wires, and pin 4 gets the Black wire.  You can then strobe away.  Also, put the black wire with the brown on pin 1 and it will stay on all the time.  Contact us for more info
