Features of EtherNet/IP Web Server Module in a Control System
The module provides the following features and services in the
control system.
• Bridging and routing of messages
Like other EtherNet/IP modules, you can route messages,
upload/download programs, and flash upgrade modules using
the web server module as part of the communication path to
access the target device.
• Data access (read and write) to controllers
Access the XML pages in the Enhanced Web Server module to
view and modify data that resides in a controller that is in the
same chassis as the EWEB module.
• Custom web pages
Create custom web pages that are tailored to your application.
Use ASP functions to populate your web pages with live
controller data.
• Email capability
You can initiate email messages from the embedded email
composer in the module. You can also use the module to send
an email initiated by a Logix controller via a MSG instruction.
• Open-socket interface
You can open TCP or UDP communication links to other
standard Ethernet devices via the module.
