1.5 Advantages and Functions of the FP Web-Server

The multifunctional FP Web-Server unit allows you to access FP Series PLCs via Ethernet networks (Intranet and Internet) for data exchange.

Access can be carried out by a computer and a standard browser, such as MS Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, by specifying the target unit's IP address, which can be changed. The HTML page can be generated with standard tools, such as Netscape Composer, Frontpage or MS Word (not supplied with the Configurator).

FP Web-Server Advantages:

•Use standard browser, save Scada software

•Use existing Intranet, save wiring

•Representation of PLC data in HTML pages

•Value input and change of values in the PLC (set value, outputs, internal relays) via HTML pages.

•Password protection for access

•Email send function (alternatively via Internet dialup), e.g. for the alarm function (optionally with PLC data attachments)

•Remote programming: remote access via modem (via Dial-up Networking)

•Data transfer: process control system, PLC programming, telemetry, remote maintenance, monitored state function

•Interfacing RS232C serial data via Ethernet, i.e. two FP Web-Servers are used to send RS232C data via Ethernet

•Modem gateway functions to other PLCs equipped with an FP Web-Server
