3.1 Overview
The Configuration menu includes the following points:
• User’s list
The user’s list is used by the eWON to restrict access to the various features of the eWON according to the user’s rights. It also
allows logging the user’s actions (like alarm acknowledge…).
See also chapter “Users Setup” on page 8
• Tags list
The eWON monitors and manages variables (called Tags). A Tag can be Boolean or float, and Tags are produced by IO servers. The
configuration of a Tag defines its IO server and all its monitoring parameters (historical logging (Warning: not for all eWONs

• IO Server configuration

the physical eWON IO or the Modbus remote IO, etc. Some of these IO servers require some configuration.

Tags and also manage per user rights for the Tags. Two pages, called "Default" and "System" are automatically defined, and up to
10 pages can be user defined.
