(Micro Browser)
The CPU is equipped with Ethernet and internal webserver.
Firmware version:
AC500 as of version 2.1.3 (former versions are unstable)
AC500 eCo as of version 2.1.3 (former versions are unstable)


CPUs IP-address is set.
Web server is configured: in both CBP and in CoDeSys project.
Visualizations are implemented.
The amount of the screens depends on their memory consumption and CPU type.


Common internet browser and installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from Sun
are needed.
IP-address of the web client has to be set.
URL for the PLC is to be written is the URL field of the browser.

1. Select Web server active
2. Select Port number
3. Number of parallel connections (sockets) - ( 2 to 9,18 or 25).
This number depends on CPU Type and other Ethernet already
configured and used connections (Modbus TCP).
e.g. 3x Web clients:
Connections: (3x2)+1 = 7
