First Access 4 (72)
2 First Access
To display the web interface of the eWON Flexy 205, open a web browser and target the IP ad-
dress of the device which by default is 10.0.0.53.
If the IP address must be changed, follow the Set up the LAN IP address of an eWON device
document from the Related Documents, p. 3
2.1 Login
The first screen displayed is a login form. The factory predefined parameters to log in to the de-
vice are:
eWON Default Credentials
IP address 10.0.0.53
Login (case insensitive) adm
Password (case sensitive) adm
For security reasons, the password must be changed on first connection! This one
can be changed by going to Setup > Users.
2.2 Language Selection
On first login, a windows appears and asks for the language of the interface: English, French,
German or Italian.
This selection will also be asked after a reset level 2 which refers to a reset factory
configuration.
To change the language of the web interface without performing a reset level 2, the Language
parameter of the comcfg.txt file must be changed. To change it, go to Setup > System > Storage
> Tabular Edition > Edit COM cfg. This method will change only the interface. If the messages
from the event log should also reflect the language change then a reboot is necessary. A reboot
can be done either by power off / on the device or by going to Setup > Reboot.
2.3 Wizards
The next step is the configuration of the Flexy 205.
After the login and the selection of the language, the device will propose to follow the wizards to
configure the System, the Internet connection, the VPN connection and the Gateway.
The wizards are an easy, automatic and straightforward way of configuring the Flexy 205. It is
not mandatory to follow the wizards as the configuration of the Flexy 205 can also be set man-
ually through the config.txt and comcfg.txt files.
A summary of each wizard is explained here under:

Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1

Tags Section 12 (72)
5.1.2.1 Creation of a Page
Page definitions are used in the Flexy 205 for two purposes:
• Restrict user rights to specific directories in the user defined web site.
• Organize tags in pages to ease viewing and restrict user access to specific tags.
A total of 10 user pages can be created.
When tags are defined in a specific page and the name of that page is modified, the same set
of tags will belong to the renamed page and users allowed to see the former page will automati-
cally see the renamed one.
If a page is deleted while containing tags, those ones will return to the default page. All the
users who had access to that page only will have access to “Default” page.
Any text can be entered for the page name but if a page name is used for directory restriction, it
must comply with the directory syntax.
5.1.2.2 Creation or Modification of a Tag
When creating a tag, multiple fields must be provided:
Tag Parameters: Identification
Tag Name The name of the tag
It will be used for any reference to the tag when using the export or script function.
It will also be included in the alarm email / SMS.
It cannot contain: spaces, “$” (dollar) character or “"” (quote) character.
It shouldn’t contain “-” (minus) character if destined to be used in scripting.
The maximum length for is limited to 64 characters.
Page Allows the filtering of the tags and display them on a specific page
The basic configuration offers choices between “Default page” or “System page”.
Customer pages can be created an will be automatically added to this list.
Tag Description A free text to describe the meaning of the tag.
This Information is included in the email sent on alarm.
Tag Parameters: I/O Server Setup
Server Name The IO server name is the data source of the tag name. Six data sources are
available: MEM (virtual IO used by script function), eWON (eWON internal IO),
MODBUS, NETMPI, SNMP, DF1, FINS, ABLOGIX, S73&400, S7200, HITACHI,
MELSEC and BACNET.
For details, refer to theIO Servers document from the Related Documents, p. 3.
Topic Name It is used to apply a common configuration to several tags.
Topic names are configured in the IO Servers (check IO Servers document from
Related Documents, p. 3).
Address This indicates the complete address syntax (path) required to reach the register
inside the third-party device.
To ease the writing of the polling destination, a Tag Helper is available and appears
automatically as soon as text is typed in the field.
Type Defines the nature of the tag:
• Automatic: let’s the Flexy 205 decide the best nature of the tag. The decision
depends on the IO server register / modifier type.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1

Tags Section 13 (72)
• Floating Point: a single precision float precision format (IEEE float
representation).
• Boolean: a binary value.
• Integer: a 32-bit signed integer.
• DWord: a 32-bit unsigned integer.
Force Read Only Allows the disabling of the “Update” function in the “View” mode of the “Values”
section.
The tag is still read/write for BASIC scripting.
eWON value Defines the offset and scale factor to be applied to the IO value coming from the
third-party device. The offset and scales are float values. The negative values are
accepted.
The tag value will be: TAGval = IOSERVERval * scale + offset.
Tag Parameters: Alarm Setup
Alarm Setup If enabled, the alarm will be generated.
Alarm Level Low Low “warning” threshold value for alarm detection.
Alarm Level High High “warning” threshold value for alarm detection.
Alarm Level LowLow Low “danger” threshold value for alarm detection.
Alarm Level HighHigh High “danger” threshold value for alarm detection.
Value Deadband The deadband is the difference between the alarm level and the RTN level (Return
To Normal).
E.g.: if the alarm value is 20°C with a deadband set to 1, the alarm is triggered
when the temperature crosses this 20°C boundary. On the other hand, the alarm
status will be RTN when the temperature passes below 19°C (because 20° - 1).
Boolean Alarm Level The alarm value of a boolean tag name. This is not applicable for analog tag name.
Activation Delay The time in seconds for which the tag has to be out of threshold before the alarm
tag is triggered.
Auto acknowledge on
RTN
If checked, the alarm will be automatically acknowledged when the alarm state
goes to RTN. Thus, the alarm is directly ended.
Alarm Hint The information related to the alarm action. This Information will be included in the
alarm email.
Tag Parameters: Historical Logging
Historical Logging If enabled, the values of the tag will be logged in a circular file.
This is a non-volatile logging. The data is stored in the flash file system. All the data
is stored in the same file, the maximum number of values that can be saved is from
16384 to 139264, depending on the resources storage setup of the Flexy 205.
When maximum size is reached, the oldest data will be erased first.
Logging Deadband Defines the deadband of the incremental recording of the tag. Setting a negative
value will disable it.
Logging Interval Defines the interval, in seconds, for the tag recording. Setting 0will disable it.
Can be used at the same time as logging deadband.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1

Tags Section 14 (72)
Tag Parameters: Real-time Logging
Real-time Logging If enabled, the values of the tag will be logged in memory.
Real-time logging is different than historical logging because the data is saved in a
circular memory buffer. The other difference is that incremental recording is not
possible, only fixed interval recording can be performed.
Time Span Defines the total logging window time in seconds.
Logging Interval Defines the interval, in seconds, of the tag recording.
Tag Parameters: Tag Visibility
Published Value The value published by the Flexy 205 could be the same as the tag value or could
be modified with a scale factor and an offset.
Modbus TCP visibility If enabled, the tag will be visible.
Each tag in the Flexy 205 can be accessed through a Modbus TCP master.
Register The address of the register, starting with 1.
Only the register address has to be specified, the type of tag (coil, contact, input
register or holding register) is obtained from the tag type (analog or boolean) and
the tag read-only or read/write property (obtained from the IO server).
Use 32-bit format If checked then 2 consecutive 16 bits registers will be reserved and the value will
be an output as a 4 bytes IEEE float in those 2 registers (standard Modbus float
representation).
If the tag is published as integer it may need to be scaled to fit the 16 bits Modbus
register. This operation will be applied to the tag value before publishing it.
SNMP visibility If enabled, the tag can be seen by the SNMP manager.
OID The base OID is already defined, the only parameter is the last part of the OID.
Tag groups Allows the grouping of tags into group (from A to D).
5.1.2.3 Configuration of an Alarm Tag
The configuration of an alarm for a specific tag can be done either by clicking on the “Configure
Alarm actions” button (when a tag has been selected) or on the alarm icon located in the tag
row.
Send an Email
Email upon Checks the alarm states triggering an email (ALM, ACK, RTN, END).
Format as short
message
In some cases, it is useful to have the whole message sent in the subject field.
For example: if the email should be routed as an SMS.
Email to The list of “TO” email address(es). They must be seperated by “,” (comma) or “;”
semi-colon.
Email CC The list of “CC” email address(es). They must be seperated by “,” (comma) or “;”
semi-colon.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1

6 Diagnostic
The “Diagnostic” area is the place to go if an issue is encountered on the Flexy 205. This sec-
tion is divided in 3:
• Logs: regroups all the logs the Flexy 205 records.
• Status: regroups all the information of the current state of the Flexy 205.
• Files Transfer: allows the possibility to display / download several configuration / communi-
cations files of the Flexy 205.
6.1 Logs
The “Logs” section is the place where all recorded events can be displayed. It is divided in 3
sub-sections: Event Logs, Realtime Logs and Scheduled Actions.
6.1.1 Event Logs
This page displays the information recorded in the “Events.txt” file (check Files Transfer, p. 26).
On this page, the logged data are presented in reverse chronological order: recent events on
the top, older ones at the bottom). The events are displayed in different colors to differentiate
Error (red), Warning (orange) and Trace (black) events.
Event Logs Page Parameters
Filter Allows the filtering of the data. All 4 columns are taken into consideration.
Items to display Allows the display of a limited number of items.

6.1.2 Realtime Logs
This page displays the debug information for different interfaces.
These logs are stored in RAM memory and are cleared on reboot.
This logging is a time consuming task and thus will slow down the overall behavior
of the Flexy 205. These debug interfaces should be activated and used only during
the debugging process!
