I’m working on integrating a Cognex In-Sight 3803 with an omnicore controller running RobotWare 7.16.2, with the integrated vision option. Whenever I connect the camera to the ethernet/IP network, it results in a system failure state. I know the Cognex 3803 is not supported by integrated vision, so I have configured the Cognex to communicate via Ethernet/IP. The error messages related to the system failure state suggest communication to other IO devices is interrupted when the Cognex camera is plugged in. I have confirmed that there are no duplicate IP address on the network, and this same error occurs when the Cognex camera is on a completely different subnet. I have a hunch that this is related to the integrated vision option on the controller and the version of the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions for quick fixes? I’m thinking that rebuilding the system without integrated vision could be a solution?

Good morning, Rebuilding the system without Integrated Vision could be a practical solution and is worth trying.
In parallel, we are working with Cognex on the development of an official Add-In, which would make them an ecosystem partner and further simplify both integration and usage.
Thank you for the suggestion Xavier, rebuilding the system without integrated vision fixed the issue.
The official Cognex Add-In sounds very helpful, I look forward to trying it out in the future.
