Generate Web User-provided Pages

You can use a text editor to generate up to 16 Web user-provided pages. The pages are stored
in consecutive ASCII files of the controller. The channel-configuration feature of RSLogix 5
software, version 5.20 or later, lets you select the starting file and number of files used.

The software also lets you import your user file from your personal computer to a specified
ASCII file in the controller.

Reference Other Pages/Servers

These are some basic considerations when referencing other pages or servers:

• Reference User-specified pages in the controller by using the names user1.html

through user 16.html. To reference a page on the same controller, specify a URL
such as /user2.html

• Reference a page on another controller by specifying a URL such as

http://iota4/user2/html.

• Reference other Web servers and display images from other sources without affecting

your usage of data table memory (except for the size of the HTTP reference).

Reference Data Table Memory

Reference data table memory locations by placing custom tags into your HTML source that
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. 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 numbers).

Other considerations include:

#elements - if not specified, this defaults to one. If less than one, also defaults to

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