Web Server
With the web server, the RSTi-EP station is displayed on a connected PC. This allows you to carry out
the following tasks prior to the complete commissioning of a system:
•
Simulate the operation of the RSTi-EP station
•
Query the status of each network adapter and module
•
Display the parameters of network adapters and modules, and change them for testing
purposes
•
Access diagnostic information
•
Operate the station in Force mode for testing purposes
With default settings each network adapter type offers web server access only via USB port. For that
multiple IP addresses can be parametrized. Please note that this is a virtual DHCP server. To avoid
network disruption no other network device with the same subnet ID should be connected to the PC.
Using network adapters for Ethernet-based fieldbus systems
– recognizable by the RJ45 socket –
web server access can be realized alternatively via Ethernet. This function must be enabled in the
web server in the network adapters parameter setup. Any changes of the IP settings on either USB
port or Ethernet port will not be effective until restarting the network adapter.
Warning
Explosion Risk - Prior to starting work, make sure that there is not a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Warning
In Force mode, the system may be manipulated to such an extent that
can result in life-threatening personal injury and damage to materials.
Only use Force mode if you are very familiar with the connected system
and know at all times the consequences that your actions will have.
Caution
Prior to connecting a PC, make sure that the RSTi-EP station has been
grounded properly.
