FP Web-Server V2.11

8.1 Generalities on the Ethernet/ RS232C Ports

 

 

GK panels do not use MEWTOCOL monitor commands.

•To eliminate the problem of only one client being allowed to use FPWIN Pro or FPWIN GR for data monitoring, permit only one client. See the parameter MEWTOCOL Number of Clients.

•MEWTOCOL communication between a PLC and FPWIN Pro (or an FP Web-Server port client or GK panel) can involve a very high data load, i.e. with a single FPWIN Pro client, communication can be hindered so gravely that http pages and email communication are slowed down significantly.

•While MEWTOCOL multi-frame communication (program download) is being executed, MEWTOCOL communication for the other clients (including email and http functions) is temporarily stopped!

8.1.2 Client's Side

At the client's side (computer, GK panel or an FP Web port client) there are several possibilities and/or software packages to communicate with the FP Web-Server's MEWTOCOL server port (to exchange data with the PLC):

a)With FPWIN Pro, GTWIN or PCWAY it is possible to communicate directly with the FP Web-Server, i.e. the PLC/ GT10 or GT30 via the Ethernet.

The following settings are required:

Do not activate the check box "Use ET-LAN unit"!

b)With GKWIN version 2.0 it is also possible for a GK panel (GK30 or higher with a built-in Ethernet card) to communicate directly with the FP Web-Server.
