ENCODER PROGRAMMING Ethernet over web server
INTEGRATED AND SIMPLE REMOTE ACCESS
The encoders can be programmed easily over the integrated web server. To do this, a device ca-
pable of running a browser, such as a computer, laptop, tablet or HMI (human machine interface)
is required for visualization. No interface-specic technical knowledge is required. The encoders
can be programmed directly on the control unit via the interface or via the web browser. Com-
bined access is also possible. The device can be replaced easily using plug and play as the en-
coder data is mirrored on the control unit side and can be downloaded onto the new device. The
encoders also have an integrated FTP server which makes it possible to update rmware directly
in the application. The new option for programming via a web browser allows people with varying
levels of interface knowledge to access the encoder data, which allows for exible implementa-
tion, service, and maintenance.
At a glance
• Active web server installed as a pro-
gramming tool
• Integrated FTP server
• Easy device replacement, plug and
play
• No programming software required
• Comprehensive diagnostic functions
Your benets
• No interface-specic technical
knowledge is required
• Less work required for programming
and reduced frequency of errors due
to simple operation
• Reduction of service and mainte-
nance required due to preventive
diagnostic evaluation
• Cost savings for storage and data
management due to reduced variant
diversity because it can be pro-
grammed freely
Fields of application
• Programming absolute encoders with
Ethernet-based interfaces and inte-
grated web server functionality
