Overview
The FP-I4C Web interface is used to configure the interfaces and services of the FP-I4C unit.
The FP-I4C unit has multiple interfaces and connects PLCs, PCs, and other external devices
to databases, cloud servers, and other components used in automation.

External calls
• The services (on the left) all use the service control interface you specified in the
configuration.
• Data logging is controlled by the service control interface, but can collect data from all
other interfaces.
• External clients, such as Control FPWIN Pro or SCADA systems, can use all interfaces.
• Web pages created with HMWIN Studio can collect data via all interfaces.
After you have accessed your FP-I4C unit via the Web interface, you can configure the
required services under “Application Settings”.
Go to “System Settings” to make general settings of the network addresses and services and
to change the user interface language.
