Panasonic has added a built-in web server feature to its FP7 programmable logic controllers, available in firmware version 3.30 or later CPU units with built-in Ethernet.
The FP7 has a range of system information available as a default in the CPU unit, so that all that is required to access this data is a network connection and a web browser. The default view gives access to PLC status items such as system register settings, operation history and PLC errors.
For access to collected data or control program variables, Panasonic’s Control Web Creator is a graphics creation tool that allows users to easily design web content that is published by the FP7. Content can be accessed by arranging web components such as switches, lamps and meters on the screen and setting the properties. Content will be linked to the information in the PLC without needing any knowledge of HTML. Screens that are set up as desired by the user with Control Web Configurator are uploaded to the FP7, then, as with the default web page, the information in the FP7’s internal web server can be monitored on a browser.
