Question
It is possible to trigger the Gocator via Ethernet?
Answer
Yes, you can trigger the Gocator by sending a software trigger command from the SDK or by a software trigger command over an industrial protocol (Modbus, EthernetIP, Profinet or ASCII). Prior to sending the software trigger command, the sensor must be running.
- Trigger via SDK: use the GoSensor_Trigger() function.
See html manual under GoSDK/doc folder - Trigger via Modbus: send command 7 (software trigger). Byte0 in the Control Register.

Set bit7 of byte0 in the Command implicit messaging assembly.

NOTE: The Gocator can only be triggered via one method in each configuration (e.g., by the internal clock at the maximum or a defined frame rate, that is, "free-running"; by encoder; by digital input; or by software trigger).
