The multifunctional FP Web-Server provides users with the option of connecting the FPΣ (Sigma) or any other
FP Series PLC to the Internet/Intranet thus enabling bi-directional communication. No changes to the PLC
programs are necessary. Simply assign an IP address to the FP Web-Server and connect the PLC to the
FP Web-Server via the serial RS232C interface. A standard browser e.g. MS Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator can be used for access at the PC.
The FP Web-Server´s 3 interfaces
࡯ 10BaseT (RJ45, twisted pair)
– connects to the Ethernet at 10 Mbit/s
࡯ RS232C (screw terminal)
– connects to the FPΣ (Sigma) at 1200 to 115.2 kbit/s
࡯ RS232C (SUB-D 9 male)
– connects to a modem (PPP)
