Introduction
1.1 Ethernet Web Embedded Server Modules
The Quantum Ethernet Web embedded server modules make it possible for a
Quantum industrial control system to communicate with devices on an Ethernet
network. For example, the modules can be used to link a Quantum Automation
Series controller to a PC.
Each module contains a World Wide Web server, which allows users to obtain
statistics about the NOE module and its controller from an embedded web site.
The Ethernet network is well supported worldwide, with a wide variety of third party
products and services. TCP/IP is the de facto standard protocol.
1.1.1 The Benefits of Quantum Design
Like all Quantum modules, the web embedded server modules are easy to install.
They may be inserted into existing Quantum systems and connected to existing
Ethernet networks. They do not require proprietary cabling.
The modules may be plugged into any slot in a local Quantum backplane and may
be replaced while the system is running (hot swapped). They come fully configured
and are recognized by the controller as soon as they connect with the backplane.
Note: The web embedded server module must be routed through an Ethernet hub
to function properly. Do not connect it directly to another device.
