• Remote control
• Remote monitoring
• Remote programming
• Alarm information via e-mail
• Data logging (with FPWEBEXP)

• Web-server:
  – Display PLC data on HTML or XML pages
  – Access via standard Internet browser or smartphone
  – Modify PLC data via HTML input fields or Java Applets
• E-mail:
  – PLC can send e-mails
  – E-mail via LAN, e-mail server or Web mail
  – E-mail text, predefined or PLC-defined
  – PLC data as e-mail attachment
  – Data saved on SD memory card as attachment
• Ethernet <-> RS232C converson (MEWTOCOL)
• Transparent RS232C data circuit via Ethernet
• Programming and visualization access via TCP or UDP
• Dial-up via modem (dial-up networking):
  – A modem can dial up the FP Web-Server
  – One remote gateway for multiple FP Web-Servers in a local network
  – The FP Web-Server can establish an Internet connection (and stay online)
  – Various wireless communication methods via GPRS supported
• Modbus-TCP protocol:
  – Communication using industrial Ethernet standard protocol (server and client)
  – Gateway for Modbus-RTU stations (master and slave)
• IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104 protocol:
  – Communication via RS232C, RS485 adapter, leased-line modem, PSTN modem or Ethernet
• Time synchronization using network server:
  – Correction of the PLC real-time clock using NTP server
• SNMPv1 agent:
  – Data exchange using SNMP management system
• FTP client:
  – Current or logged data can be sent to a remote FTP server
• Data logger:
  – Logging of PLC data and saving it on an SD memory card or transmitting it via FTP (only possible when FPWEBEXP is attached)

• Automatic integration of PLC data into HTML pages
• Preparation of pre-stored e-mail addresses and texts
• Internet dial-up and e-mail server settings
• TCP/IP address and parameter changes
• Passwords and security setup
• IEC 60870-5 parameters and modem settings
• Configuration of all other available functions

Using the Internet or Intranet (Ethernet LAN or WAN)
The PLC connects to the FP Web-Server via RS232C (or USB/RS485 using the FP Web Expansion Unit) and MEWTOCOL; the FP Web-Server uses an Ethernet (10Base-T / 100Base-TX) connection to access the TCP/IP network.

Using a dial-up network
The PLC connects to the FP Web-Server via RS232C (or USB/RS485 using the FP Web Expansion Unit) and MEWTOCOL. A modem is connected to the second RS232C of the FP Web-Server. The modem can be dialled up via telephone line. The modem can also be used for Internet dial-up, e.g. to exchange data and to send e-mails .

Combinations: LAN plus dial-up gateway
Any combination of the above LAN and dial-up concepts is possible, e.g. an Ethernet network connecting several FP Web-Servers and an additional FP Web-Server initialized as a gateway for dial-up connections into the Internet.

Application examples:

• Visualization and remote control via HTTP/HTTPS:
  PLC data can be presented as HTML pages
• Control FPWIN Pro remote programming via TCP/IP:
  Programming and monitoring access via Ethernet
• Alarm sending via e-mail:
  Predefined alarm messages can be sent to a user (optional via Internet dial-up)

Features of FP Web Designer

• WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor for graphic design of applications
• The designed pages can be called up by a Web browser on any PC connected to a LAN or WAN. All process values are shown automatically on the screen.
• Each diagram can display up to 5 trend curves for measured values stored in PLCs. A simple mouse click updates the page.
• The measured values together with trend curves can be stored as CSV files.
• Alarm information can be visualized on a Web browser and saved. Updating alarm information runs in the background so that Web pages always display the current status in the browser.
• The Web pages in the browser can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized access and changes.
• Process values can be imported in CSV format from PLC programs written with FPWIN Pro
• Extensive and expandable macro libraries available
• Online help in English and German
