Content Summary

Upgrading an In-Sight camera to the 5.8 firmware will install a new PROFINET stack, adding support for PROFINET Class B. While this adds new functions and capabilities, it is not a drop-in replacement for a vision system running the Class A stack, which all previous versions of In-Sight firmware supported. This document will outline the steps necessary to update the hardware configuration in the TIA software used to program Siemens PLCs.
