1.1 BEFORE YOU START
Please read the following notes on HTML. It will make working with the FP Web-Server
easier for you:
Make sure that you have worked through the First Steps (see page 31) before you try out the
HTML functions of the FP Web-Server.
In order to use HTML you do not have to be able to tag or program HTML. Various software is at
your disposal:
•Word, Frontpage (delivered with MS Office), Netscape Composer (delivered with
Netscape Navigator) et.al. can serve as editors for creating HTML files.
•The created HTML file will be saved on the FP Web-Server with the help of the
Configurator.
•A browser (Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer) is used to display the .htm file.
These software tools provide the logical markup (i.e. text parts are automatically adjusted to any
screen format without using a lot of memory) and easy linking that define HTML.
Please refer to the respective software company for questions on software not provided by
Panasonic mentioned in this manual (or on the software you chose to work with HTML).
There are two ways to create HTML files:
•Simple: You use editors that translate data into HTML automatically. When using these
editors, you need no special knowledge about HTML.
•Advanced: You create HTML files directly. You need to have knowledge about HTML.
For the FP Web-Server you need to have basic knowledge on how to use HTML.
In case you lack knowledgeabout HTML, Panasonic provides you with a brief introduction in the
section First HTML Page Including PLC Data. In addition, we have inserted examples on HTML
(see "Description of the HTML Examples" on page 161) on the CD (supplied with the FP
Web-Server). You can install and modify them easily without knowledge of HTML.

1.5 Advantages and Functions of the FP Web-Server
The multifunctional FP Web-Server unit allows you to access FP Series PLCs via Ethernet
networks (Intranet and Internet) for data exchange.
Access can be carried outby a computer and a standard browser, such as MS Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator, by specifying the target unit's IP address, which can be changed. The
HTML page can be generated with standard tools, such as Netscape Composer, Frontpage or
MS Word (not supplied with the Configurator).
FP Web-Server Advantages:
•Use standard browser, save Scada software
•Use existing Intranet, save wiring
•Representation of PLC data in HTML pages
•Value input and change of values in the PLC (set value, outputs, internal relays) via
HTML pages.
•Password protection for access
•Email send function (alternatively via Internet dialup), e.g. for the alarm function
(optionally with PLC data attachments)
•Remote programming: remote access via modem (via Dial-up Networking)
•Data transfer: process control system, PLC programming, telemetry, remote
maintenance, monitored state function
•Interfacing RS232C serial data via Ethernet, i.e. two FP Web-Servers are used to send
RS232C data via Ethernet
•Modem gateway functions to other PLCs equipped with an FP Web-Server
