WEB Communication:


Web Studio allows you to save your application screens in HTML format and export them to Internet
Browsers (Internet Explorer).

You need to set the parameters in the Web tab in the Program Settings dialog window and save the
screens which you desire for Web communications as HTML (menu File – Save as HTML). Caution:
The Web Pages generated by the Save As HTML function are independent of the screen file they were
generated from. As such if you make a change to the Display Screen that change will not appear on the
Web page until you again Save As HTML.

Any tags which are used to display data or input commands need to have their web settings changed to
server in order to communicate over the web. Select Application Tags in the Database and verify the
Web Data column.

The computer where the HTML files are stored (Page Server) must be a WEB Server (HTTP Server
driver) and the computer where the application is running (Data Server) should have a fixed IP address.
Note the Page Server and the WEB Server can, but do not have to be, the same computer. For T6200,
the Page and WEB Servers are both contained in the operator interface.

To be able to view your web pages you must first configure the web setting. These can be found in the
Project Settings window under the Web tab (see above). First you need to input the Data Server IP
Address
, this is the IP address where the application is running. Next you need to enter the URL in the
following format: http://<the IP address of the unit where the web server is running>/<path from
the server to the web page directory>/
. Once these two fields are correct click the ok button. Then
go to Tools on the menu bar and select Verify application (if you have any windows open in the
development system Studio will demand you close them before verifying the application).

Caution: If you change any of the web information under the Project Settings you will need to Re-
Verify the application for the new setting to take affect. Because the Web Pages Display information
from the application through the Web Server, the Runtime System, the Web Server and the TCP/IP
Server
need to be running to view the Web Pages.
