Overview

The FP‑I4C Web interface is used to configure the interfaces and services of the FP‑I4C unit.

The unit is equipped with multiple interfaces and supports a variety of protocols and services.

All services (FTPC, MQTT, data logger, etc.) use a so-called service control interface to poll the control and status flags/registers of connected devices. This service control interface is configured using the FP‑I4C unit's Web interface.

Via TCP listening ports and port redirections, all interfaces are also available to external clients, such as Control FPWIN Pro7 or SCADA systems. Port redirections can be configured in the Web interface.

“INTERN” refers to the addressable internal memory areas of the FP‑I4C unit which is accessible via Modbus/TCP or the script function. If the unit is used as a stand-alone FTP or SMTP client (no PLC connected), select “INTERN” as service control interface.

The data logger can collect data from all interfaces, allowing you to connect multiple sensors. The log function can be controlled by time trigger or by PLC via the service control interface.

Configuration

After you have accessed your FP‑I4C unit via the Web interface, you can configure the required services under “Application Settings”.

Go to “System Settings” to make general settings of the network addresses and services, to change the user interface language, and to change passwords.

Use the logout button in the title bar to log out or to switch users.
