Gocator Snapshot Sensors: User Manual
Getting Started • 21
System Overview
Gocator sensors can be installed and used in scenarios where the target to be scanned is static in
position relative to the sensor for the short duration of camera exposure. Sensors can be connected as
standalone devices or in a multi-sensor system.
Standalone System
Standalone systems are typically used when only a single Gocator sensorscanner is required. The
sensorscanner can be connected to a computer's Ethernet port for setup and can also be connected to
devices such as encoders, photocells, or PLCs.
Multi-Sensor System
A Master network controller (excluding Master 100) can be used to connect two or more sensors into a
multi-sensor system. Gocator Master cordsets are used to connect the sensors to a Master. The Master
provides a single point of connection for power, safety, encoder, and digital inputs. A Master
400/800/1200/2400 can be used to ensure that the scan timing is precisely synchronized across
sensors. Sensors and client computers communicate viaan Ethernet switch (1 Gigabit/s recommended).
