Question
What is the use of an SMB shared folder?
Answer
SMB is a convenient way to share a folder from the camera to a network PC, for example to share jobs or images.
Once the configuration is made according to this guide:
In-Sight® Vision Suite Help - Configure SMB - Documentation | Cognex
is possible from a Windows or Linux system to access to the related shared folder.
This is valid even for a Scada sw, to allow users to load jobs or recipes into the camera.
In this way is possible to mantain jobs in a single server on a PC and load them in every camera with a SMB shared folder.
