Setting up communication to display a web page
1.6.1 HTTP direct via Ethernet RJ45 connection
The quickest communication connection is the Ethernet port via RJ45, if the protocol HTTP direct
was selected. The speed is either 10 MBit/s or 100 MBit/s with an auto-negotiation protocol via the
connected device.
Internal connection for programmable web panels
The programmable panels are connected internally via an Ethernet connection directly to the pro-
grammable logic controller. All that you need to do is set the local host IP address 127.0.0.1 and the
http direct connection under
Web Connection
in the
Setup Menu
. Naturally, the programmable web
panels can also display the web pages of controllers in the network.
Connecting to external devices
An HTTP connection can be established between our PCD7.D4xx and any Saia PCD
®
controller if
an Ethernet connection to the automation server exists. With the programmable panels, the panel is
generally connected to the internal controller.
1.6.2 Panel speed test
- A web program generated with the Web Editor must first be loaded onto the Saia PCD
®
.
- Connect the panel to the Saia PCD
®
using a CAT5 cable. Because the current controllers support
auto-crossing, a crossover cable is no longer needed.
Setup settings for the PCD7.D443WTxRx panel:
For configuration, the
Setup Menu
must be open. (See Chapter 5):
-
First ensure that you are in the same network subnet. Example: If the Saia
PCD
®
has the IP ad-
dress 192.168.12.92, enter an IP address such as 192.168.12.90 in your terminal (in the Network
Menu), because the subnet mask is usually 255.255.255.0.
-
In the Configuration Menu, enter the address of the start page
which corresponds to the IP ad-
dress of the Saia PCD
®
and also the name of the HTML start page.
The MB panel should now be connected to the Saia PCD
®
and the selected start page should be
displayed on the monitor. You can now navigate through your web pages!
