This section describes system requirements for In-Sight Explorer software.
The following minimum hardware requirements are for PCs that are connected to a single low-resolution In-Sight vision system running at a slow production speed:
The following recommended hardware requirements are for PCs that are simultaneously connected to up to four In-Sight vision systems:
In-Sight software has been tested on the following operating systems:
Although you can install and run In-Sight Explorer on other Windows operating systems, PCs that do not meet the preceding requirements are not officially supported.
In-Sight 5.7.2 software contains three firmware versions:
In-Sight vision systems that have older firmware versions might work properly. However, some features are unsupported with older firmware versions and are not fully tested. For optimal performance, update vision systems that run older firmware to the most recent, supported firmware versions. For a list of models and supported firmware versions, see the Firmware Versions topic in the In-Sight® Explorer Help file.
In-Sight software requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5. If the In-Sight software installer fails to detect Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, it attempts to download and install it.
Note:
| Issue# | Change/Fix |
|---|---|
| IS‑459 | The performance of loading complex EasyBuilder jobs to the In-Sight vision system and/or sensor has been improved. |
| IS‑827 | An unhandled exception error is no longer displayed when launching the Firmware Update dialog. |
| IS‑758 | The PC filmstrip no longer slows down during image playback when connected to the In-Sight emulator. |
| Issue# | Issue | Affected Firmware Version |
|---|---|---|
| IS-856 |
At times, saving a file to a sub-directory in an FTP server's root directory using the WriteImageFTP, WriteFTP or WriteImageSFTP function can result in the file being saved to the FTP server's root directory. Workaround: Save files to the FTP server's root directory. |
5.7.2, 5.7.1 & 4.10.5 PR1 |
| IS-334 |
When you try to connect your vision system/sensor to the Web HMI for the first time, you may receive an error message: Permission error appears and connection is denied. Workaround: Before you connect your vision system/sensor to the Web HMI, reinstall or update the vision system/sensor firmware on the system. |
5.7.2 & 5.7.1 |
| 48478 | If an In-Sight vision system that has a job with many instances of the ReadIDMax function, the job might require more memory than is available on the vision system. Any instances of the ReadIDMax function that exceed the available memory returns #ERR. For example, if an In-Sight 8405 vision system job contains more than 100 instances of the ReadIDMax function, you might encounter this problem. | 5.7.2 & 5.7.1 |
| 45581 | For In-Sight 7600/7800 series and 9902L vision systems configured for CIP-Sync/PTP, 1588 synchronization accuracy through a transparent clock-switch might increase to more than 10µs offset from master. | 5.7.2 & 5.7.1 |
| 35828 | If an industrial Ethernet communication protocol triggers the vision system, the JobPass signal is sent only if the job contains a WriteResultsBuffer function. This issue does not occur with EasyBuilder applications. | 5.7.2 & 5.7.1 |
| 32479 |
If you update the In-Sight vision system firmware while it is connected to a POWERLINK network, it results in a code 13710, with the vision system needing to be power cycled and the files restored (the firmware will be successfully updated, however). Workaround: Before you update the vision system firmware, complete the following steps:
