1.1Ethernet Web Embedded Server Modules

The Quantum Ethernet Web embedded server modules make it possible for a Quantum industrial control system to communicate with devices on an Ethernet network. For example, the modules can be used to link a Quantum Automation Series controller to a PC.

Each module contains a World Wide Web server, which allows users to obtain statistics about the NOE module and its controller from an embedded web site.

The Ethernet network is well supported worldwide, with a wide variety of third party products and services. TCP/IP is the de facto standard protocol.

1.1.1The Benefits of Quantum Design

Like all Quantum modules, the web embedded server modules are easy to install. They may be inserted into existing Quantum systems and connected to existing Ethernet networks. They do not require proprietary cabling.

The modules may be plugged into any slot in a local Quantum backplane and may be replaced while the system is running (hot swapped). They come fully configured and are recognized by the controller as soon as they connect with the backplane.

Note: The web embedded server module must be routed through an Ethernet hub to function properly. Do not connect it directly to another device.
