Continuous Communication in Industrial Applications
Program/Operate the PLC using an Ethernet Network
FP Web-Server
9
The multifunctional FP Web-Server provides users with the option of connecting any FP Series PLC to the Internet/Intranet for
bi-directional communication via Ethernet. No changes to the PLC programs are necessary. Simply assign an IP address to the
FP Web-Server and connect the PLC to the FP Web-Server via the serial RS3C interface. A standard browser, e.g. MS Internet
Explorer, can be used for access at the PC. The Windows-based program FP Web Configurator Tool helps you easily set up and
configure the FP Web-Server.
The FP Web-Server´s 3 interfaces
100Base-TX / 10Base-T (RJ45, twisted pair)
– connects to the Ethernet at 100Mbit/s
RS3C (screw terminal)
– connects to the PLC at 100 to 115.kbit/s
RS3C (SUB-D 9 male)
– connects to a modem
