# Configuring PROFINET Configuration for Siemens S7 PLCs with SIMATIC Manager

This procedure describes how to set up communication between an In-Sight vision system (and its active job A job is a user-configured program in Spreadsheet consisting of functions and designed for specific applications. You can create and edit jobs using the Spreadsheet interface, and load them on a vision system for deployment in a live environment.), and a Siemens S7 PLC A Programmable Logic Controller is a ruggedized computer that you can use for automating processes or even an entire production line. with the SIMATIC Manager software.

The example steps of the following subsections use the following hardware and software:

- Cognex hardware:
  - 1 In-Sight vision system.
- Siemens hardware:
  - 1 x • CPU 315-2 PN/DP (6ES7 315-2EH13-0AB0, V2.6)
- Siemens software:
  - SIMATIC Manager STEP 7 S7/M7/C7, with version V5.5 + SP1 and revision level: K5.5.1.0
