The MV500 optical readers are equipped with a Web server that provides Web Based
Management (WBM). Using the WBM, you can configure your readers. Among other things,
you can create reader-specific programs and program sequences and run diagnostics.

After you have called the IP address of your optical reader, a welcome screen opens. This
provides important information from the optical reader that can be integrated into numerous
environments, since HTML5 is not required for this page.
Advantages
●Independent of the operating system or the Web browser you are using.
●Does not require Java Runtime on the visualization device.
●Requires little memory and performance on the visualization device.
●Can be integrated easily into existing applications.
Available HTML pages
Once the connection to the reader has been successfully established, the WBM welcome
screen appears:

Using the WBM, you can configure the SIMATIC MV500 optical readers.
NOTICE
Security recommendation: Enable user management
After starting the WBM the first time, no user management is enabled. To make sure that
no unauthorized persons can access the reader settings, we recommend that you enable
the user management, create new user profiles and delete any existing default user profiles
after starting the WBM for the first time.
For additional information on logging in to WBM and creating/deleting user profiles, refer to
the section "User management (Page 136)".
When you have created new user profiles you need to log in with one of these user profiles
when you restart the WBM.
