What Is FactoryCast?
Overview FactoryCast is a software package that allows you to customize a Web site on the
Embedded Web Server module. The site can be accessed via a browser to view
and modify data from a Quantum or Premium programmable logic controller (PLC).
Default Web Site FactoryCast provides all the Web pages and Java applets you need to view run-
time data from your controller. You can use the FactoryCast default Web site
simply by configuring the module and accessing it with a browser over the intranet.
Custom Web Site FactoryCast gives you two ways to customize the default Web site:
l Create a Web-enabled database to view and modify the run-time values of
symbols (variables) and direct addresses
l Add your own Web pages to the site
Site Maintenance FactoryCast also provides all the tools you need to maintain your Web site on the
Embedded Server, including ways to download, backup and restore files.
