Presentation
In line with the Transparent Ready approach, TSX Micro, Premium, Quantum,
Momentum and Advantys STB automation platforms all provide transparent access
to data in realtime using Web-based technologies via their Ethernet TCP/IP or
FactoryCast communication module.
The Transparent Ready communication modules in automation platforms integrate
Ethernet TCP/IP services (Modbus TCP/IP messaging, SNMP network management
functions, etc.) and provide the following Web functions:
b Standard Web server
b FactoryCast Web server
b FactoryCast HMI Web service

Standard Web server
Ethernet TCP/IP PLC module services
Standard Web server
Standard Web services can be used to execute diagnostic and maintenance
functions on automation system installations locally or remotely using a simple
Internet browser:
b PLC system and I/O module diagnostics, PLC error display ("Rack Viewer" pages
ready to use).
b Display and adjustment of PLC variables ("Data Editor" pages ready to use).
The embedded Web server is a realtime PLC data server. All the data can be
presented in the form of standard Web pages in HTML format and can therefore be
accessed using any Internet browser that supports the integrated Java code. The
standard functions provided by the Web server are supplied "ready-to-use" and
therefore do not require any programming at either PLC level or at the level of the
PC device supporting the Internet browser.
FactoryCast Web server
In addition to providing standard Web services, the FactoryCast Web server can be
used to control and monitor automation system installations both locally and
remotely. The following functions are available:
b Management of system alarms and PLC application with partial or global
acknowledgment ("ready-to-use" pages for the "Alarm Viewer" function).
b Application graphics diagnostics (customized graphical views created by the user
using the "Graphic Data Editor" function).
b Graphics control via animated Web pages created by the user and stored in the
FactoryCast module.
FactoryCast Web servers can also be used to customize control, diagnostics and
maintenance interfaces via user-defined Web pages and Web pages transferred to
the module using FactoryCast configuration software (maximum available memory
required is 8 Mb).
FactoryCast HMI Web server
In addition to the FactoryCast Web functions, the FactoryCast HMI Web server
provides HMI Web functions, which are executed in the module itself:
b Realtime HMI database management, independent of the PLC processor
b Arithmetic and logical calculations based on HMI data
b Connectivity with relational databases
b Transmission of electronic messages (e-mail).
FactoryCast HMI is an active Web server, which can be used to execute HMI
functions integrated in a PLC module. This eliminates the need for communication
via polling to update the HMI/SCADA database.
In FactoryCast HMI modules, the HMI functions are executed without affecting the
PLC application program and therefore the cycle time.
