9. Web-based Configuration
The Junction is equipped with a web-based set-up interface which operates independent of the operating sys-
tem. Parameterizing of the Junction can conveniently be done using a standard web browser. The web server
allows control-independent monitoring or creation of a test environment. The web server allows control-inde-
pendent monitoring or a test environment to be set up. It is not needed for normal operation on the controller.
NOTE!
Communication via EoE (Ethernet over EtherCAT) is required in order to be able to access
the integrated webserver’s website. This is only possible via the mailbox communication
of a PLC or a PC-based controller software such as TwinCAT
®
. All website settings can be
made, if the product is in Pre-OP mode. For information on how to configure the network
parameters please refer to the instructions “Start-Up-EtherCAT-Device”

in the chapter “Displaying and working with the integrated web
server”. All further steps require an active mailbox and network communication.
When operated with a controller, settings which have been changed via the website are
overwritten by the controller or changes are only possible in the pre-op mode.
