names and passwords can and should be changed by browsing to the Config menu, Security Settings webpage. Log
into the page using the current Admin level username and password, then change to new ones.
6.3 Navigating the web pages
From any computer that is directly connected to the controller, or is on the same network as the controller, open a brows-
er and type the numeric Controller IP address in the web page address field. The login screen should quickly appear.
The default username is admin and the default password is the 10-digit serial number for the controller. The serial
number can be found printed on the label on the side of the controller, or by using the local touchscreen and going to the
Config menu, then Controller Details.
Once logged in with the default password, a prompt will appear to change to new credentials. The option to close the
prompt window and continue using the existing credentials exists, however the Admin and View-Only level usernames
and passwords can and should be changed by browsing to the Config menu, Security Settings webpage. Log into the
page using the current Admin level username and password, then change to new ones.
After logging in, the Home page will appear. This will display the date and time, any active alarms, and the current
readings or status of all of the Inputs and Outputs. On the left side of the page you will see links to the Main Menu selec-
tions: Alarms, Inputs, Outputs, Graphs, Config, Notepad and Software Upgrade if available. Click each menu to see the
submenus, and click on the submenu to access all of the details and settings associated with it. At the bottom, there is a
manual logout.
Below the Main Menu links there may be links to the instruction manual,
Pulse
website, and Fluent website, that are
useful if the controller is connected to the Internet.
At the bottom there is a Log Out link. The Ethernet connection only supports four simultaneous users. If users do not
log out, their session will stay active until it times out (the time is set in the Security menu), and other users may be
denied access until an existing session closes.
6.4 Graphs Webpage
The graphs page can display up to 8 parameters at a time. All possible parameters available based upon the controller
programming are listed in one column. Click the right arrow to add the highlighted parameter to the Selected column,
or the left arrow to move a selected parameter back out. Use the up and down arrows to move the highlighted selected
parameter up and down the list to set the order of the graphs on the page.
Click the Refresh Graph button
to display the changes.
Select the Time Range for the X-Axis of the graph from the pulldown list, from 1 Hour to 4 Weeks.
If you are setting up a Graph Report email, click Save For Report to set the current page settings as the ones to be used
for the report. You will want to make sure that the selected Time Range is at least as long as the Report Frequency set in
the Email Report menu.
You can then change the settings on the graphs webpage without changing the report settings, by clicking the refresh
button without clicking the Save For Report button. The graph page will be greyed out until the refresh button has been
clicked.
In order to see what the report settings are, click the Load Report Settings button.
The graph email will contain an html attachment showing the graphs. The Export Graph button can be used to save the
graphs as an image that can be copied to a document. The same button is also available directly from the Graphs web-
page.
