Connecting to a cloud server via HTTP
When you use the FP‑I4C unit as an HTTP client, you can use the HTTP GET and HTTP POST methods to exchange data with a cloud server. A PLC is needed to control the send and receive operations.
Data logging from different devices
During data logging, the FP‑I4C unit collects and saves the data from all connected devices. The log files can then be downloaded or transmitted to a server.
Reading from and writing to expansion units
Learn how to read from and write to expansion units connected to an FP-I4C unit and visualize them on a Web page.
Setting up AWS IoT Core
This guide describes how to set up AWS IoT Core with an FP-I4C unit.
Setting up a gateway to Corvina
In this sample application, the FP‑I4C unit serves as gateway to communicate with two PLCs from a remote PC. An FP0R PLC is connected using its RS232C interface, and an FP0H PLC is connected to the same network via Ethernet.
Using the TLS connector to secure Modbus TCP transmissions
Learn how to use the TLS connector to transmit PLC data securely via the popular Modbus TCP protocol.
Visualize data on a Web server
The FP‑I4C unit can be used as a Web server to visualize data from different sources.
