The FP‑I4C unit can be used as a Web server to visualize data from different sources.
In this sample application, two Panasonic PLCs are connected to the FP‑I4C unit. You will learn how to create a simple Web page that displays data from these PLCs in a browser.
An FP0R PLC is connected via RS232C and MEWTOCOL, and an FP0H PLC is connected via Ethernet and Modbus TCP.
To create the Web pages and store them in the FP‑I4C unit, use HMWIN Studio version 4.0 or newer. The software is available free of charge in our Panasonic Download Center .
The FP‑I4C unit has the fixed IP address 192.168.0.1.
The FP0H PLC has the IP address 192.168.0.21. Two server connections have been enabled for Modbus TCP, one for data communication via port 502 and another one to control the PLC via port 9094.
The FP0R PLC is connected to the FP‑I4C unit with its TOOL port (115200 baud, odd parity, MEWTOCOL-COM protocol).
The PC has the static IP address 192.168.0.10.
