FDC MCT-MC - 88 - Logging
8.5 FTP/FileWeb/DataWeb Interface
The FTP/WAN screen allows the user to configure automatic back-up of all data files contained in the MC
memory to a user designated FTP or secure FileWeb site (https://). When enabled, the MC will automatically
back up all data log files, alarm files and audit trail files at 2:00AM each day. With the optional delete files
selection, the MC will then automatically delete the files from its internal memory after back up. This will
maintain MC memory automatically, so that continuous data logging can be performed without filling up the
available memory space.
The MC also offers a DataWeb LAN/WAN/Cloud interface. This allows the MC to transfer data directly into a
server’s data base rather than using file based data solutions. The DataWeb interface provides the transfer of
secure (https://), real time data which can be shared and viewed across networks for real time manufacturing
data systems interface.
NOTE: Setting up an FTP site on your network may require authorization and/or assistance from your network
administrator. Contact your network administrator for proper settings and authorization from your
network server (if required) to allow the MC to connect to the designated FTP site.
The
Type drop down is used to select the FTP/WAN interface. Choices are FTP, FileWeb and DataWeb.
The
IP Add field is used to enter the IP address of the FTP/FileWeb/DataWeb site that MC is to interface with.
The
User field allows you to enter a user name for site access. When the MC connects to the
FTP/FileWeb/DataWeb site, the user name will be used to identify the connection. If a security login is required
(FileWeb/DataWeb always require security credentials), the proper user name will have to be entered in this
field. If security is not used (FTP only), this field can be left blank (blank for anonymous login using FTP only).
FileWeb and DataWeb require a username and password.
The
PSWRD (password) field is used in conjunction with the user name field and is for entering a password, so
the MC can access the site. If security is not used (FTP only), this field can be left blank (blank for anonymous
login using FTP only). FileWeb and DataWeb require a username and password.
The
Server field is used to enter the server directory where the files are to be backed during FTP/FileWeb
operation. This field is not used during DataWeb interface selection. When the connection occurs, the MC will
place the historical data files in the “Sever” field directory structure when using FTP/FileWeb interfaces. The
MC will automatically create an “Alarms” directory and an “Audit” directory within the specified server directory
for backup of the alarm files and audit trail files. The “Sever” field for FTP and FileWeb must match the directory
structure setup at the server.
