User Provided Pages

You can use a text editor to generate up to 8 user-provided web
pages. Each page is stored in four consecutive ASCII files of the
MicroLogix 1400 controller. The channel configuration feature of
RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro (version 8.10 or later) allows you to select
the starting file number and the number of user pages to be stored, as
shown in the following example:

RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro (version 8.10 or later) also allows you to
import an HTML file from your PC to specified ASCII files in the
MicroLogix 1400 controller. See page 36 for details.

HTML Pages

33 Publication 1766-UM002A-EN-P - November 2008

Referencing Other Pages/Servers - following are some basic
considerations when referencing other pages or servers:

• reference User Specified Pages in the MicroLogix 1400 controller

by using the names user1.htm through user8.htm

34 User Provided Pages

• to reference a page on the same controller, specify a URL such

as /user2.htm

• to reference a page on another processor, specify a URL such as

http://www.xxx.yyy.zzz/user2.htm, where www.xxx.yyy.zzz is
the IP address of the controller

• you can reference other WWW servers and display images from

other sources without affecting your usage of data table memory
(except for the size of the HTTP reference)

Referencing Data Table Memory - reference data table memory
locations by placing custom tags into your HTML source which specify
the data table location and optional formatting information. Use the
following format for the custom tag:

<!ABDTR-file_type{file_number}:{file_element}[,#elements][%format]>

The items surrounded by {} are sometimes optional. The items
surrounded by [] are always optional.

You must always specify the basic file reference. Depending on which
file is being referenced, file_number or file_element may be defaulted.
If the file_type is I, O or S, the file_number does not need to be
specified, but the file_element must be specified. If the file_type is not
one of the three special files, the file_number must be specified and
the file_element may default to zero (the input, output and status files
have fixed file numbers).

When defining your custom tag, consider the following:

Tag Item Description

#elements If not specified, this defaults to one. If it is less than one, it also

defaults to one. Each element is output using the same format
(whether specified with %format or defaulted).

%format Legal values are %d for decimal and %x for hexadecimal. The

following file types allow the format to be specified

• Timer

• Counter

• Control

• Long

Display format
defaults

Fixed display
formats

• Input

• Output

• Status

• Integer

Input and Output file elements are output in decimal format. Status
file elements are output in hexadecimal format with a leading 0x.
Integer file elements are output in decimal format. Complex data
types (Timer, Counter, Control, or other data types) are output as a
table with bits and important words specified.

Float files are always output in floating point format (“C”%g
format). ASCII and STring files are always output as a null
terminated text string. Binary files are always output as two binary
bytes.

Generating Custom Data Table Monitor Pages

You can generate Custom Data Table Monitor pages with your text
editor then download them to the MicroLogix 1400 controller using
RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro version 8.10 or later. The first element of

the file must contain a special tag as shown here:

<!ABCDM-xx>

where xx is the automatic refresh rate in seconds (01 to 99).

A value outside the range defaults to a “snapshot” display.
You can modify the refresh rate three different ways:

• enter the desired refresh rate and press the Change button

• select the Default button for a 15 second refresh

• disable the refresh by selecting the Disable button

Referencing Data Table Memory - the Data Table locations in the
Custom Data Table Monitor are referenced by placing custom tags into
the ASCII file of the processor. The format of the custom tag is:

<!ABDTR-file_type{file_number}:{file_element}[,#elements][%format]
[!comment]>

The items surrounded with {} are sometimes optional, whereas the
items surrounded by [] are always optional.

You must always specify the basic file reference. Depending on which
file is being referenced, file_number or file_element may be defaulted.
If the file_type is I, O or S, the file_number does not need to be
specified, but the file_element must be specified. If the file_type is not
one of the three special files, the file_number must be specified and
the file_element may default to zero (because the input, output and
status files have fixed numbers).

When defining your custom tag, consider the following:

Tag Item Description

#elements If not specified, this defaults to one. If it is less than one,

also defaults to one. Each element is output using the same
format (whether specified with %format or defaulted). Any
associated comment is displayed only for the first element.

%format Legal values are %b for binary, %d for decimal, %0 for

octal and %x for hexadecimal. The following file types
allow the format to be specified:

• Input

• Output

All other file types are displayed in an appropriate format.

!comment Data after the exclamation point and up to the closing > is

displayed in the Comment column of the monitor.

Fixed display formats Float files are always output in floating point format

(“C”%g format). String files are always output as a null
terminated text string. Binary files are always output as
four binary nibbles. Complex data types (Timer, Counter,
Control or other data files) are output as a table with bits
and important words specified.

• Status

• Integer
