Getting started

Chapter 1

1.1 BEFORE YOU START

Please read the following notes on HTML. It will make working with the FP Web-Server easier for you:

Make sure that you have worked through the First Steps (see p. 32) before you try out the HTML functions of the FP Web-Server.

In order to use HTML you do not have to be able to tag or program HTML. Various software is at your disposal:

Getting started

 Word, Frontpage (delivered with MS Office) et.al. can serve as editors

for creating HTML files.

 The created HTML file will be saved on the FP Web-Server with the help

of the Configurator.

 A browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) is used to display the .htm file.

These software tools provide the logical markup (i.e. text parts are automatically adjusted to any screen format without using a lot of memory) and easy linking that define HTML.

Please refer to the respective software company for questions on software not provided by Panasonic mentioned in this manual (or on the software you chose to work with HTML).

There are two ways to create HTML files:

 Simple: You use editors that translate data into HTML automatically.

When using these editors, you need no special knowledge about HTML.

 Advanced: You create HTML files directly. You need to have knowledge

about HTML.

For the FP Web-Server you need to have basic knowledge on how to use HTML.

Chapter 3

3.1 Getting started

This section describes putting the FP Web-Server into operation for the first time. The subsequent step-by-step example depicts the general configuration and use of the FP Web-Server for displaying HTML pages.

First steps

3.2 The Ethernet network

The FP Web-Server is supplied with a 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection. This type of Ethernet network uses a peer-to-peer connection with twisted pair cables. To establish a network, hubs and switches are used to connect the participants in a star-shaped manner.

To be able to configure the FP Web-Server, a Windows computer with an Ethernet network interface card has to be connected to the same network as the FP Web-Server. The FP Web-Server can be connected to an existing Ethernet network.

It is also possible to set up a separate network for the FP Web-Server. The computer can also be directly connected to the FP Web-Server by using a special "cross-over" Ethernet cable (see p. 181).

3.3 Connection of the FP Web-Server

For an initial function test (without the PLC data), the FP Web-Server has to be connected to the Ethernet and be supplied with operating voltage (24V DC and FG).

32 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

In the second step, the FP Web-Server has to be connected to the PLC (via

Please remember the ID number found on the FP Web-Server's type label. You will need it when you configure the Web-Server.

Note

RS232C). The RS232C setting of the PLC must correspond to that of the FP Web-Server. This setting can be defined in the PLC program (FPWIN Pro) under the system parameter settings.

3.4 Installation of the Configurator program

First steps

Further information:

To be able to configure the FP Web-Server, a Windows computer with an Ethernet network interface card has to be connected to the same network as the FP Web-Server. The computer must be configured in such a way that it supports the TCP/ IP network protocol.

To install the Configurator (administrator rights are needed), start the setup program on the CD and follow the instructions of the installation program "Control FP Web Configurator Tool". Various examples (see "Description of the HTML examples" on p. 173) and HTML pages are installed along with the Configurator. In addition, the tool DnsDisp.exe, which locates DNS addresses of an Internet Service Provider (ISP), is copied to the installation folder.

Contents of the CD and Auxiliary Programs (see p. 173)

The Configurator can be started in the Windows start menu under

Program files  Panasonic-ID SUNX Control  FP Web Configurator 2  FP Web Configurator 2.

3.5 Determination of the IP configuration

Every Ethernet participant must have an individual IP address. This address may not be used a second time in the same network. The IP address (see p. 179) consists of 4 numbers (0 to 255). The first numbers define the

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 33

First steps

Procedure

network address, the other numbers define the participant's address. The IP address of the FP Web-Server can be fixed or it can be allocated dynamically by a DHCP-Server.

1. In a "self set-up" network (e.g. with only one hub) the IP addresses can

be assigned by yourself

In this case, do not use DHCP. For further information refer to Setup of an Individual Ethernet LAN (see p. 181).

2. If the FP Web-Server is to be connected to an existing network, the

following data must be obtained from the network administrator:

 Is there a DHCP-Server in the network? If NOT:  IP address: Which fixed IP address can be assigned to the FP

Web-Server?

 Netmask: How is the network address set up (length of the network

address and/or the participant's address)?

 Gateway: What is the gateway's IP address? (0.0.0.0 if there is no

gateway to be used).

3.6 Generate a new Configurator project

After having started the Configurator, a Configurator project can be opened from the local hard drive with [OPEN]. A Configurator project consists of:

 the configuration,  the e-mail texts, and  the HTML pages.

Upon the initial start, the "default_project" is automatically offered with [OPEN]. With [OPEN] you can also load one of the examples (see

34 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

"Description of the HTML examples" on p. 173). You can save it under a new name with [SAVE AS]. On the "Config" page you can adjust the following, most important settings. You must configure at least the following:

 The IP configuration (see "Determination of the IP configuration" on p.

33) has to be entered according to the destination network.

First steps

 The serial interface parameter used by whatever functions have been

configured. the PLC may have to be adjusted (RS232C, 19200 8O1 is pre-adjusted).

 It is also recommended to enter an individual user name and a

password of your own.

 The HTTP server has to be activated for this initial test (please turn off

e-mail and PPP!):

For the initial test, no other parameters have to be altered. Save the changed project with [SAVE].

Comments:

 To receive additional help and information on the various Configurator

entries, please move the cursor to the respective input field and press <F1>.

 The "default_project" works without PLC data, i.e. it does not need to

be connected to the FP Web-Server. Nevertheless, in case "Example First web page with PLC data" is used, a PLC should be connected.

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 35

First steps

3.7 Transfer a Configurator project to the FP Web-Server

Use [FIND] to search the network for all FP Web-Servers. A list of all FP Web-Servers found will be displayed. Please select the ID number of the respective FP Web-Server (double-click or press <ENTER>).

If the FP Web-Server is put into operation for the first time (or a new version of the Configurator has been installed), please initialize the FP Web-Server ONCE before transferring the project, i.e. click [INITIALIZE] and answer the safety request with [YES].

As there are HTML pages required for this initial test, the check box "Web files" should be activated. With [SEND] you can transfer the project (configuration plus HTML pages) to the respective FP Web-Server.

Please click [REBOOT] after transmission. Wait a little bit and then click [FIND] again to make sure that the FP Web-Server is online again and to find out which IP address it is using.

Comments:

 Please memorize the IP address for the following tests with the browser

below.

 If the FP Web-Server was configured with the wrong fixed IP address, a

query with [FIND] will result in an error message.

36 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

First steps

 If an error message is displayed, click [YES]. This sets the FP

Web-Server to the IP address entered in the current Configurator project. After a short waiting period, click [FIND] again.

 If the current password of the FP Web-Server is not the same as the

password of the project, the user name and the password are requested before transmission and/or restart ([SEND], [INITIALIZE], [REBOOT]).

 Please refer to "Trouble Shooting (see p. 185)" if any problems occur

with the functions FIND, SELECT, INITIALIZE or SEND.

3.8 Test the FP Web-Server with an Internet browser

The HTML pages of the FP Web-Server can be displayed with a standard Internet browser. Start the Internet browser and enter the IP address of the FP Web-Server into the address field.

The HTML page "main.htm" of the FP Web-Server will be displayed. For the "Default_Project" (without PLC data, FP Web-Server may not be connected to a PLC) for example:

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 37

First steps

Comments:

Or for "Example - First web page with PLC data" (with PLC data):

 Main.htm has the following restrictions: You cannot use PLC data items

and you cannot use password protection.

 If the FP Web-Server is operated in an office network with a Proxy

gateway to the Internet, accessing the FP Web-Server HTML pages might take a long time. In this case, shut off the Proxy function of the browser for this specific IP address of the FP Web-Server. For the browser setup also refer to TCP/IP Setup: Configurator/Browser Operations Via LAN.

5.1.1 Ethernet IP address

Procedure

Every Ethernet participant must have an individual IP address. This address may not be used a second time in the same network. The IP address consists of 4 numbers (all numbers must be between 0 and 255, see also IP and TCP/ IP (see p. 179)). The first numbers define the network address, the other numbers define the participant's address.

Base configuration

The IP address of the FP Web-Server can be fixed or it can be allocated dynamically by using a DHCP-Server.

1. In a "self set-up" network (see p. 181) (e.g. with only one switch), you

can assign the fixed IP addresses yourself

In many cases a class C network is used. The network is identified by 3 numbers. The participants (computers, units, FP Web-Server...) are distinguished by the last number (1 to 254), e.g. 192.168.206.1 to

192.168.206.254. If this network is connected to a second network via a gateway (e.g. the computer for configuration might be in this network), the gateway address also needs to be specified, e.g.: Computer in x.y.206.z network with netmask 255.255.255.0, using the x.y.206.1 gateway. FP Web-Server in x.y.60.z network with the following settings:

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 45

 IP Add=x.y.60.31  Netmask=255.255.255.0  Gateway=x.y.60.1

2. If the FP Web-Server should be connected to an existing network, the

following data must be requested from the network administrator:

 Is there a DHCP server in the network? If NOT:  IP address: Which fixed IP address can be assigned to the FP

Web-Server?

Base configuration

For further information please refer to the online help under the keywords "User name and password", "DNS parameter settings", PLC link interface" or "Selection of the main functions".

Reference

 Netmask: How is the network address set up (length of the network

address and/or the participant's address)?

 Gateway: What is the gateway's IP address? (0.0.0.0 if there is no

gateway to be used).

6.1 E-mail functions of the FP Web-Server

The FP Web-Server can send e-mails, e.g. in case of an alert. An existing e-mail server (see p. 49) is used to distribute the e-mails triggered by the PLC. The PLC can use predefined text messages (stored in the FP Web-Server) as well as variably created e-mail texts (stored as ASCII strings in the PLC). The FP Web-Server informs the PLC if the e-mail has been sent correctly.

After a predefined interval, e.g. every 7 seconds, the FP Web-Server

checks an internal flag of the PLC (via MEWTOCOL) to find out if the PLC wants to send an e-mail. The polling interval between PLC requests (and the address of the PLC internal flag that starts the sending of the e-mail) can be defined in the Configurator project.

Optionally, a file attachment holding PLC data can be generated.

If the HTTP/HTTPS server and/or the Ethernet<-> RS232C/RS485/USB ports are carrying out MEWTOCOL communication with the PLC at the same time, the polling time ís longer than specified in the configuration. Especially when carrying out the multi-frame MEWTOCOL commands (PLC program download) via the Ethernet<-> RS232C/RS485/USB ports, the e-mail polling of the PLC internal flag can be delayed.

For examples on sending e-mails from the PLC, refer to the PEW_FPWEB library or try the examples below.

A) Using an e-mail server via Ethernet LAN:

Please ask your network administrator whether the following requirements are met:

 An e-mail SMTP server in the LAN is required. Also refer to setup of an

individual Ethernet LAN (see p. 181).

 The address of the e-mail server must be correct in the Configurator

project.

 A defined e-mail address, which is known to the e-mail-server, should

be assigned to the PLC (or the FP Web-Server).

B) Dialing up an e-mail server in the Internet:

 A modem is needed to dial up an ISP.  An e-mail account of an Internet e-mail ISP is needed.  To set up an ISP, refer to Internet e-mail settings (see p. 146).

6.1.1 E-mail function used for communication tests

Communication tests can be used with empty e-mails for a DNS request.

For continuous Internet connections (router, VPN, GPRS ...), it is sometimes necessary to test the communication, i.e. to test the availability of radio connections or to distribute the end unit's IP address after a restart in case bridges or routers are used. In such cases, the DNS request function for e-mail sending can be used. The PLC should periodically try to send an e-mail, but the e-mail recipient address should not be set (empty string). Then a DNS request is sent by FP Web-Server (after an optional Internet dial-up), which tests the communication. Do not forget to set up the FP Web-Server with a valid e-mail server name and existing DNS server IP address.

6.1.2 E-mail server for LAN or Internet

A) E-mail server in the LAN

The FP Web-Server was developed to cooperate with an e-mail server in your local network. Often, e-mail servers also allow the transmission of SMS and FAX via e-mail. To send an e-mail to someone via the Internet, the e-mail server needs to have access to the Internet. This poses no problem if you are using an e-mail server in your LAN that uses the proxy server to connect to the Internet. Contact your network administrator for detailed information.

You only need to set the following e-mail server parameters (also refer to

the online help under the keyword "Example - Web pages and e-mail" of

the HTML examples)

E-mail setup

B) Internet e-mail

 Server IP address (SMTP server) and port number  E-mail sender address

These parameters are available from your network administrator. Optionally, you can use the server name (DNS is required) and you can log in with a POP3 server. More detailed information can be found in the online

help under e-mail server settings.

The FP Web-Server can also use a modem connected to the 9-pin port to establish a dial-up connection to the Internet and send e-mails via an Internet Service Provider.

For this function, you need a modem (or GSM module) and the following parameters:

 Dial-up ISP account and DNS server address (for detailed information

refer to Internet e-mail settings (see p. 146))

 Two e-mail server names (SMTP and POP3) and ports (for detailed

information refer to the online help under e-mail server settings)

 E-mail account with user name and password, see also e-mail server

settings

 E-mail sender address

These parameters are available at your ISP (for detailed information also refer to the online help under e-mail server settings).

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 49

E-mail setup

Procedure

6.1.3 How to find out the address of the e-mail server

Normally the name of the e-mail servers can be found on the Internet pages of the e-mail ISP. See sections on the Internet page called "Technical details", "Experts" or "How to set up e-mail client program". Please also make sure that no ASMTP (special encrypted login method) is needed. The FP Web-Server only supports plain "SMTP after POP3" and ESMTP authentication.

If possible, find out the names' IP addresses. You can request them from the e-mail ISP or by using a Windows computer:

1. Configure and establish a remote network connection to the Internet

(via modem)

2. At the DOS command prompt, enter the command “PING xyz” which

displays the IP address

'xyz’ indicates where the SMTP (POP3) e-mail server name is.

E-mail setup

For context-sensitive help, highlight the button or entry field (using <Tab>) and press <F1>.

For further information please refer to the online help under the keywords "E-mail tab input fields".

6.3 E-mail via SSL

Since 2014 most e-mail providers have changed their server from normal connections to SSL/TLS connections (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security). This SSL/TLS connection should ensure that all transmitted e-mails are encrypted so that they cannot be read by a third party. The FP Web-Server supports SSL 3.0 / TLS 1.0 (TLS is the successor of SSL).

If your e-mail provider only works with SSL/TLS, please refer to the information in this chapter.

For more detailed information, refer to the online help under the keyword "E-mail via SSL/TLS".

FTP client and SD memory card control setup

Chapter 7

FTP client and SD memory card control setup

7.1 FTP client function of the FP Web-Server

The FP Web-Server can send files via FTP, e.g. a daily report or a data logger file (see p. 61). An existing FTP server can be connected to send the reports and data sheets of the FP Web-Server. The FTP client is used to distribute the files triggered by the PLC. The PLC must support the command with the operation mode. The command line is compatible to the e-mail attachment operation syntax. In this case, the FTP client function can also be used in existing projects with small changes. Some additional commands for SD memory card operation (see p. 53) are implemented.

After a predefined interval, e.g. every 7 seconds, the FP Web-Server checks an internal data register of the PLC (via MEWTOCOL) to find out if the PLC wants to send a file. The polling interval between PLC requests (and the address of the PLC internal data register that starts the sending of the file) can be defined in the Configurator project.

If the http/https server and/or the Ethernet<->RS232C/RS485/USB ports are carrying out MEWTOCOL communication with the PLC at the same time, the polling time can take longer than specified in the setup. Especially when carrying out multi-frame MEWTOCOL commands (PLC program

 A modem is needed to dial up an ISP.  An account of the FTP server must be known for the connection.  To set up the dial-up function, the e-mail function is needed. Please

refer to Internet e-mail settings (see p. 146).

7.2 Operation modes for FTP client and SD card storage

It is possible to generate a file with PLC data with a syntax similar to the e-mail attachment to send via FTP or to store on the SD card of the FP Web Expansion unit (see p. 29). The PLC can send data as a user-defined text (TXT) or in a Microsoft Excel compatible file format (CSV). The PLC data register range and the file name can be defined in a special tag. This tag is placed as a string in the PLC and is read after recognizing the operation start.

The maximum number of characters for the command tag (including the brackets) is 128.

The format of the special tag for a CSV attachment is:

{A_D_00200_00066_S04_filename.csv}

For a text attachment, it is:

{A_D_00200_00001_T01_filename.txt}

10.2 FPWEB Script function of the FP Web-Server

The FP Web-Server can process an internal script as a user program. With this program it is possible e.g. to use the unit without a PLC to send e-mails or a file to a specified destination automatically.

 The script is running continuously in a cycle like a PLC program.  The script syntax is similar to the PLC's Structured Text

Main script rules:

 A script is a plain text file (multibyte text)  The "white space characters" will be ignored and have no influence on

the program (space, horizontal tab, new line, vertical tab, and form feed)

 Each line with functions or operations must be terminated with a

FPWEB Script

Variables:

semicolon ";" (but not the comments)

 Each line ends with at least the LF (line feed) character (Windows

systems usually use CR+LF)

 Comments start with the character "#" and terminate at the end of a

line

 The script can handle variables. There are two different types of

variables available: "Flags" and "Data registers"

 "Flags" are designed for two status: FALSE and TRUE. Each flag starts

with the character "R" and a number in square brackets: e.g. R[1C]

 Valid range of flags: 0000–255F. Note that the value is written as a

hexadecimal value.

 "Data registers" are designed as 16-bit unsigned integer. Each data

 Valid range of data registers: 0–32599 and the PLC system registers

90000–90099. The PLC system registers are only used for compatibility and have no effect and no relevant content.

 The data registers 32600–32767 are reserved for internal use only.  DT and R are PLC interface related data. Use WI instead of DT if the

FPWEB internal data should be used explicitly.

11.1 HTTP client

The FP Web-Server is able to act as a HTTP client. Two http request standard methods are supported: HTTP GET and HTTP POST.

HTTP GET:

HTTP client

The FP Web-Server sends a HTTP GET request to the HTTP server. The HTTP server sends its response to the request to the FP Web-Server. If the FP Web-Server receives a response, it will write the response to the PLC. If no response is received, an error flag will be set.

Possible applications are for example:

 Read files (e.g. logfiles) from the own expansion unit (using the FP

Web-Server's own IP address or 127.0.0.1) .

 Read files (e.g. logfiles) from an external HTTP server.  Read PLC data from an external FP Web-Server.  Find out your external IP address (dynamical IP addresses) by sending

a GET request to e.g. http://my.ip.fi/ or http://ifconfig.me/ip.

 Set PLC internal flag bits or PLC outputs by sending a GET request.

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 75

HTTP client

HTTP POST:

and many more....

The FP Web-Server sends a HTTP POST request to the HTTP server. The HTTP server sends its response to the request to the FP Web-Server. If the FP Web-Server receives a response, it will write the response to the PLC. If no response is received, an error flag will be set.

Possible applications are for example:

 Set PLC registers via Post requests  Send data to cloud server via Post  Set values to an external HTTP server

In this section, the input fields of the "HTTP client" tab are described.

For context-sensitive help, highlight the button or entry field (using <Tab>) and press <F1>.

For further information please refer to the online help under the keywords "HTTP client setup".

11.3.1 Use Dynamic Server IP/Name

Use this option to set the server name or IP address from the PLC. If this check box is enabled and no server name is set in the PLC, the FP Web-Server2 will use the server name or IP address of the configurator.

78 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

If you use this option, stop using the variable "pFilenameOrURL" (from the function block FPWEB_HTTP_Client). Add the file name or URL directly at the input "pServerNameOrIP".

11.4 HTTP Client SSL Connection

For a secured connection between the client and server you can use a SSL connection. For the SSL connection a certificate is needed.

Certificate name and path:

Copy the certificate to the subfolder "certs" of your FP Web Configurator project folder.

HTTP client

The certificate must have the following name: cacert.der.

For more information about certificates and how to create certificates please visit the OpenSSL webpage http://www.openssl.org/.

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 79

HTTP client

SSL connections are only available for connections without a proxy server.

Note

FP Web Configurator setting:

To use the SSL connection you need to enable the "https" check box on the tab "Web". As long as this check box is not activated the certificate(s) will not be sent to the FP Web-Server.

Make sure to use the Port 443 (on the HTTP client tab) for SSL connections.

 HTML Examples (see "Description of the HTML examples" on p. 173)

Descriptions for the supplied configuration samples

The http server of the FP-WEB2 can handle up to 9 simultaneous browser connections. Each HTML page (frame or browser) needs a separate connection and an additional MEWTOCOL port if the MEW.JAR Java applets are used.

12.1.1 Testing the FP Web-Server functions

For details on how to put an FP Web-Server with HTML Pages in operation, see also First Steps (see p. 32). The HTML Pages of the FP Web-Server can be displayed by a standard Internet browser. Therefore, start the Internet browser and enter the IP address of the FP Web-Server in the input field "Location":

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 81

HTTP server functions/web pages

The HTML page "MAIN.HTM" of the FP Web-Server will be displayed.

For the "default_project" (without PLC data, FP Web-Server may not be connected to a PLC) for example:

Or 'Example - First web page with PLC data':

12.1.2 Internet browser settings

If the FP Web-Server is operated in an office network with a Proxy gateway to the Internet, the access to the FP Web-Server HTML pages might take a long time. In this case, shut off the Proxy function of the browser for this specific IP address of the FP Web-Server. For the browser setup refer also to TCP/IP Setup: Configurator/Browser Operations Via LAN.

82 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

12.1.3 Generalities on PLC data fields in HTML pages

"Example - Web pages and e-mail" (provided in your installation directory) is used for the following explanation:

Here you see the HTML page 'MAIN.HTM' of the FP Web-Server. By clicking the links you can test the individual pages. For example, by clicking [Display] the DT200 page (with PLC data) is displayed:

HTTP server functions/web pages

Click [On] or [Off] to set the output of the PLC.

This page contains PLC data fields whose data address has been entered in the HTML source text. The address is replaced by PLC data when the pages are called up with the browser. For the format (see p. 88) and the input in HTML code, see also HTTP address, CGI function PLC and calling parameter (see p. 84).

HTML pages that should also display PLC data need to be marked with the data name extension .MTM instead of .HTM. This is done with the assistance of a "HTML-Compiler" (integrated into the Configurator) before the transmission to the FP Web-Server is carried out by the Configurator.

In the example above, the PLC data are marked in red (optional). These data were requested from the PLC by the MEWTOCOL address that is defined in the Configurator project. This '"default" MEWTOCOL address can be modified by the calling parameter &A=x in the "Location" field. A description of the parameter can be found under HTTP address, CGI function PLC and calling parameter (see p. 84).

Downloads HTML page zzz.HTM

http://199.199.26.52/plc?yyy

Downloads HTML page yyy.MTM including PLC data. The file format .MTM is equivalent to the .HTM format plus PLC data. The .MTM file is generated by the Configurator.

http://199.199.26.52/plc?yyy&U=xx

With automatic reload/update after xx seconds. The maximum refresh rate is reached with the input &U=0.

For rapidly changing PLC data, we recommend using Java Applets, which can handle a much higher data update/display rate.

http://199.199.26.52/plc?yyy&A=xx

All following PLC data displayed (including yyy.MTM) are addressed to the PLC with the C-Net/MEWTOCOL Address xx (0..32). 0 is equivalent to the universal address EE. The default address (if no &A parameter is used) can be determined in the base configuration setting PLC MEWTOCOL Address. The &A operator does not affect the default addressing for input fields.

http://199.199.26.52/plc?yyy&I=xx

All following PLC data displayed (including yyy.MTM) are routed through the interface with the specific number (). The &I operator does not affect the default setting of the interface for input fields.

http://199.199.26.52/plc?yyy&Rxxy =w

Before downloading the page yyy, the internal flag with the address Rxxy is set (w=1) or reset (w=0). (xx=0...999, y=0...F, w=0/1)

12.1.4 HTTP address, CGI function PLC and calling parameter

Please also note the display/input in the "Location" field: "http://199.199.26.52/plc?dt200" of the browser. Using the parameter following the IP address, you can control various functions.

Comments:

 http://199.199.26.52/' can be omitted for relative hyperlinks in an

.HTM (or .MTM) file.

 Only when the HTTP server is turned on can the modification of PLC

data (via &Y and &R commands) be temporarily turned off. If an error

84 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

occurs, writing to the PLC may be prevented. Therefore, the functioning of the Ys and Rs is also affected.

HTTP server functions/web pages

 The functions &Y and &R can be limited with [Add. Range] (see p. 118).  The name of the CGI function must be in small letters, i.e.

"http://199.199.26.52/PLC?yyy" will not work.

 The PLC address of the &R and &Y commands cannot be replaced by a

variable name, i.e. "http://199.199.26.52/plc?yyyeR'name'=1" will not work. For further information, refer to Using variable names instead of absolute PLC addresses (see p. 96).

 If spaces or Japanese characters are used, an error message pops up

before transmission to the FP Web-Server.

 All file names have to correspond to the DOS 8.3 format, i.e. the name

may only have up to 8 characters and the extension (type) only up to 3 characters after the period. (FP-WEB2 (see p. 16): Long file names without special characters can be used.)

For programming examples in C++ and Java to control PLC flags via the HTTP function, please refer to the online help under the keyword "Appendix K) Programming samples: Access to the FP Web-Server / PLC via TCP".

12.1.5 Configurator settings concerning the HTTP server

HTTP server functions/web pages

12.1.6 Editing HTML pages

All web pages the FP Web-Server is supposed to display should be created and/or edited on a computer. To do so, it would be best to mark the respective file of the project in the Configurator in the "Web" screen and start the preinstalled editor of the operating system by double-clicking (or pressing <Enter> or [Open]). For detailed information, please refer to Configurator HTTP administration and functions (see p. 116).

ASCII text editor:

Alternatively, you can select an installed editor by pressing [Edit With]. The editor can be an HTML editor or a standard ASCII text editor.

With a standard text editor like the "NotePad" of the operating system, all HTML features can be used in an ideal manner. Nevertheless, it takes time to get used to the HTML format. For training purposes, the following links are recommended:

 http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/  http://www.html.net/ http://www.html.net/  http://WDVL.com/Authoring/HTML/  http://whatis.techtarget.com/  http://de.selfhtml.org/ http://de.selfhtml.org/

86 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

HTTP server functions/web pages

The first HTML page that displays PLC data could look as follows (text file):

HTML editor:

Standard HTML editors like "KompoZer" and "MS-Word" provide many user-friendly functions to design HTML pages. Many browsers also provide an integrated editor.

An easy way to design web pages (without the knowledge of programming languages like HTML) is to use the FP Web Designer software from Panasonic (AFPS36510), an easy-to-use editing tool to help the users to create websites for visualizing process data collected by the FP Web-Server.

Recommended browsers are current up-to-date version of the standard browsers like e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari or Google Chrome.

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 87

HTTP server functions/web pages

 The maximum size of the .HTM and the .MTM file is limited to

64kB.

 Please do not use special characters and umlauts in {...} PLC

data fields. The following characters are strictly forbidden: " _ % \ < > & ' ?

Note

12.1.7 Compiling and transferring HTML pages

To insert PLC data fields into an HTML page, the PLC address information is enclosed in {...} curly brackets. You will find a detailed description of the format of the {...} PLC data fields in the following section. If an HTML page with {...} PLC data fields has been created/ changed, it has to be transformed into an .MTM file by the "HTML-Compiler" and transferred to the FP Web-Server afterwards.

This is done automatically upon pressing [SEND] in the Configurator. If the 'HTML Compiler' discovers an input error, you receive an error message and the location of the error found in the HTML code is displayed. The compiler will likewise issue an error message if an .xml file has the same name as an .htm(l) file. If the compilation is carried out error free, the file .MTM is created and transferred to the FP Web-Server.

An .MTM file corresponds to an .HTM file except for the following issues:

 A Java Script sub-function has been added to the "Header" to display

submit confirmations.

 A meta tag has been inserted into the "Header" to control the optional,

automatic reload of the page.

 The {...} PLC data fields are replaced by the respective number of

spaces.

 The information (addresses, formats...) of the PLC data fields were

attached as binary data.

12.1.8 Data fields for displaying PLC data on HTML pages

To integrate PLC data display fields into an HTML page, the following parameters are enclosed in {...} curly brackets and inserted directly at the respective location on the HTML page.

88 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

 Data type and data address of the PLC

HTTP server functions/web pages

 Number of display locations on the page (for numbers)  Specification of the format displayed (format of numbers or text

ON/OFF for internal flag)

The {...} fields can only be seen in the HTML editor (ASCII Text Editor) and are replaced by the respective number of spaces by the "HTML-Compiler". Such a file is then named an .MTM file and saved on the FP Web-Server. Upon the request of an Internet browser, the fields are filled with he current data by the FP Web-Server and displayed by the browser. A maximum of 1000 PLC data fields are allowed and will be checked by the "HTML-Compiler".

xxxy

xxxxy

Address of the PLC Data, e.g. DT200 or Y7. The address range supported by the FP Web-Server is 0–32765. For internal flags, the last position of the address is a hexadecimal number

from 0–F, e.g. R2F For FP7, the supported address range is 0–999424. MEWTOCOL 7 must be

set for addresses above 32765.

Numbers: Number of characters reserved in HTML. The rest will be cut off. Internal flags: Text that should be displayed at internal flag state 0, e.g. OFF.

Numbers: Number format, i.e. type of the display. See below. Internal flags: Text that should be displayed at internal flag state 1, e.g. ON.

Type

d = decimal, whole-numbered (16-bit, INT)

i = decimal, whole-numbered (16-bit, INT)

u = unsigned decimal, whole-numbered (16-bit, WORD)

o = unsigned octal (16-bit, WORD) (only display, not for data entry)

x = unsigned hexadecimal, lower case (16-bit, WORD)

X = unsigned hexadecimal, upper case (16-bit, WORD)

f = floating point number without exponent (32-bit, REAL)

e = floating point number with exponent (small e for exponent, REAL)

E = floating point number with exponent (capital E for exponent, REAL)

g = either e or f, depending on what seems to be more compact (REAL)

G = like g, but the exponential display also taken into account (REAL)

s = FPWIN Pro strings with current string length in the "Header"

The setup of the field for PLC data display always has the format {TTxxxy_aa_bb} (for FP7 {TTxxxxy_aa_bb}) with the following parameters:

The data type and address part TTxxx(x)y can be replaced by the corresponding variable name (see p. 96) from the FPWIN Pro project, e.g. {'VarName'_aa_bb} or {'name'_5_i}.

There is no space allowed between the curly bracket and the first character. For example { DT3_4_u} or { 'name'_5_i} is not allowed. It will be interpreted as a Java Script command and copied unchanged into the final HTML file.

The setup of the format specification bb for numbers is [flags][width][.precision][l]type

Only the specification 'type' is obligatory. The other inputs are optional. In the following list the corresponding FPWIN Pro types are listed in brackets:

S = string without "Header". Generated like with F95. (WORD[])

c = a single ASCII character

long Type

ld = 32-bit decimal, whole-numbered (DINT)

li = 32-bit decimal, whole-numbered (DINT)

lu = 32-bit unsigned decimal, whole-numbered (DWORD)

lo = 32-bit unsigned octal (DWORD)

lx = 32-bit unsigned hexadecimal, lower case (DWORD)

lX = 32-bit unsigned hexadecimal, upper case (DWORD)

precision

A number that defines the number of decimal positions for displaying floating point numbers (types: 'f' 'e' 'E' 'g' 'G').

When used with 16- or 32-bit integers (types: 'd' 'i' 'u' 'o' 'x' 'X' 'ld' 'li' 'lu' 'lo' 'lx' 'lX') a decimal point is placed in the integer number string. The number of decimal places defined with the 'precision' ranges from 1 to 9. Refer to Example f.) in Examples to display PLC data in an HTML Page (see p. 91).

width

A number that gives the minimum length of the field. If the number is shorter, the field is filled up with spaces (or zeroes).

flags

The following characters are permitted:

+ = The algebraic sign (+ or -) is always indicated.

0 = Leading zeroes are indicated.

' ' = (blank character) Prefix the output value with a blank if the

output value is signed and positive.

# = Forces the output value of the e, E, or f format to contain a decimal point (but only if digits follow). When used with the g or G format, the # flag also prevents the truncation of trailing zeros.

12.1.8.2 Comments

 The PLC data tag can also be used in XML files for data exchange.

Please find details under "Notes on XML files with PLC data (see p.

114)".

 In the text parameters aa and bb, which specify texts for the internal

flag's statuses, it is also possible to use complex HTML blocks, e.g. to display graphics.

 Please do not use special characters and umlauts in {...} PLC data fields

(and/ or the format parameters aa and bb). The following characters are strictly forbidden: " _ % \ < > & ' ?

 PLC data display fields can also be used in the [VALUE] field of the

[SUBMIT] input fields to indicate an (editable) output value.

 Strings to be displayed have a maximum length of 52 characters. The

exception are PLC data input fields, where the maximum length is only 48 characters per string.

 The special characters < and > are transcribed as ¼ and ¾ characters

when a string is displayed on an HTML page. Please refer to ASCII character codes for strings (see p. 115).

 The "default" MEWTOCOL address can be modified for the current

browser's request of this page with the calling parameter &A=x .

 The "default" communication interface to send the MEWTOCOL telegram

can be modified for the current browser's request of this page with the calling parameter &I=x. (x=0: RS232 interface, x=2: RS485, x=3: USB, x=4: Internal data to the FPWEB Script)

HTTP server functions/web pages

If an HTML page from the FP Web-Server is requested by the browser, but the PLC data cannot be read out from the PLC (wrong baud rate, problems with cables...), an HTML page with an error message will be displayed instead of the requested page.

If an HTML page with PLC data shows Err 1 then the field length of the data is too low. E.g. {DT200_5_ld} and the value of DDT200 is 31235933. So the value has 8 digits, but the webpage can only display 5 digits because of the entry _5_ld. Change the field length e.g. to {DT200_12_ld}.

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 95

HTTP server functions/web pages

If an HTML page with PLC data shows Err 2 then addresses of FP7 have been used, but the protocol set in the Config Com tab is not Mewtocol7.

12.1.9 Using variable names instead of absolute PLC addresses

The data type and address part TTxxxy of a PLC data display or input field can be replaced by the corresponding variable name from the FPWIN Pro project, e.g. {'VarName'_aa_bb}. Global DUTs and arrays can be addressed (not case-sensitive) in the HTML pages, too.

During the compilation and the transfer of the HTML page the variable name is replaced by the absolute, global PLC address found in the CSV file. The CSV file is exported by FPWIN Pro and has to be stored in the Configurator project root folder. There is only one CSV file allowed in the Configurator project folder. The CSV file can have any name - but it must have the CSV extension (CSV file type).

For variable names please use numbers from 0 to 9, letters from A to Z and the underscore only! Please do not use special characters like * - < > $ % / & and so on! Upper and lower case letters have the same meaning. For example 'VarNam' is the same as 'varnam' or 'VARNAM'.

96 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

Procedure

Generating a CSV File

HTTP server functions/web pages

The same mechanism can be used for .XML and .JS files, too.

Carry out the following steps in FPWIN Pro to export the global variable list as a CSV file:

1. Use the menu items Project  Export  Variables as CSV file 

Global variables...

2. Select the folder where the Configurator project is stored

FP Web-Server V2.810 EN 97

Please choose CSV Global Variable List files (Multibyte) (*.csv) as the file type.

HTTP server functions/web pages

Procedure

3. Save the CSV file by clicking on [Export]

These steps have generated a CSV file in the Configurator project folder

If a text editor is used the contents of the CSV file looks like this:

Accessing a CSV file via an HTML page

1. If a Configurator project also has an FPWIN Pro CSV file, the PLC

addresses in an HTML page can be referenced by its (global) variable name

98 FP Web-Server V2.810 EN

HTTP server functions/web pages

In the HTML editor the use of these variable names instead of absolute address values can look as follows:

2. If this HTML page is now downloaded to the FP Web-Server the variable

names are replaced by the absolute PLC addresses found in the CSV file

Looking at the example above, with the browser it should look as follows:

12.1.10 Access protection for individual HTML pages

With the FP Web-Server, Password (see "PLC access rights" on p. 118) protection for ALL HTML pages containing PLC data can be switched on or off.

To protect individual pages only, enter the {PW} command in the HTML code. The text {PW} is no longer displayed on the browser after sending the page using [SEND] to the FP Web-Server.

Three variations are possible:

1. Default password:

{PW} protects the page by user name and password
