7.1.16 Notes on HTML Frames
In the following file "MAIN.HTM" of "Example8" two frames are used.
The content of each frame is stored in a separate HTML file:
TOP.HTM
UNTEN.HTM
Each HTML file can be edited separately. Both HTM files show PLC data but the TOP.htm site is
automatically updated every second.
7.1.17 Notes on XML Files with PLC Data
The FP Web-Server can deliver XML files

HTML file, the XML file can include the special PLC data tag (see "Data Fields for Displaying

"
http://199.199.26.52/plc?filename.xml
"
