Abb Integrated vision without cognex camera

atef123

Hi everyone, 
I am new to integrated vision 
I work on a project to detect objects with an irb 1200 and a camera, I know the ABB robot came with its own solution (Cognex camera) but I want to use another camera. 

Thank you for your help in advance

ABB Integrated vision won't work without a compatible abb camera.
I have heard from abb that the rebranded cognex cameras have a special firmware making them work with robotstudio, so a standard cognex camera won't connect with integrated vision.
(Please correct me if this is wrong)
If you want to use another camera you have to use a different software to handle the camera.

This is true of the cameras to work with Pickmaster.

From the Integrated Vision Manual:

The purpose of ABB’s Integrated Vision system is to provide a robust and

easy-to-use vision system for general purpose Vision Guided Robotics (VGR)

applications.

The system includes a complete software and hardware solution that is fully

integrated with the IRC5 robot controller and the RobotStudio programming

environment. The vision capability is based on the Cognex In-Sight® smart camera

family, with embedded image processing and an Ethernet communication interface.

RobotStudio is equipped with a vision programming environment that exposes the

full palette of Cognex EasyBuilder® functionality with robust tools for part location,

part inspection and identification. The RAPID programming language is extended

with dedicated instructions and error tracing for camera operation and vision

guidance.
