BMX NOE 0100 module FactoryCast Web server
In addition to the standard services, the embedded Web server in the in the
BMX NOE 0110 FactoryCast module offers the functions described below.
Alarm Viewer function
The alarm viewer is a ready to use, password-protected function. It is used to
process alarms (display, acknowledgement and deletion) managed at PLC level by
the system or using diagnostic function blocks known as DFBs (system-specific
diagnostic function blocks and application-specific diagnostic function blocks
created by the user).
These alarms are stored in the diagnostic buffer managed by the Modicon M340
platform (dedicated memory space for storing all the diagnostic events).
The diagnostic viewer is a Web page comprising a list of messages, which displays
the following information for each alarm:
Dates and times of the occurrence/removal of a fault
Alarm message
Alarm status
Type of associated diagnostic function block (DFB)
Graphic Data Editor function
This function is used to create the graphic views animated by the PLC variables that
can be accessed via their address or via their symbol (access to located data). The
ready-to-use graphic editor is available in online mode when connected to the
BMX NOE 0110 module.
These views are created from a library of predefined graphic objects by simple
copy/paste operations. The objects are configured to suit the user's requirements
(colour, PLC variables, name, etc).
List of graphic objects available:
Analog and digital indicators
Horizontal and vertical bar charts
Boxes for displaying messages and entering values
Pushbutton boxes
Trend recorders
Vats, valves, motors, etc
Customized graphic objects can be added to this list and can be reused in user Web
pages that have been created using standard software for editing HTML pages. The
views thus created are saved in the BMX NOE 0110 module and can be displayed
using any Web browser.
User Web page hosting and display function
The BMX NOE 0110 FactoryCast module has a 16 Mbyte non-volatile memory
which is accessed in the same way as a hard drive. This allows hosting of Web
pages and any user-defined Word or Acrobat Reader document (for example,
maintenance manuals, wiring diagrams, etc).
Web pages can be created using any standard tool for creation and editing in HTML
format. They can be enhanced by inserting animated graphic objects linked to PLC
variables. These animated objects are created using the Graphic Data Editor. They
are then downloaded to the BMX NOE 0110 module via the FactoryCast Web server
configuration software.
These user Web pages can be used, for example, to:
Display and modify all PLC variables in real time
Create hyperlinks to other external Web servers (documentation, suppliers, etc)
This function is particularly suitable for creating graphic interfaces used for the
following purposes:
Real-time display and supervision
Production monitoring
Diagnostics and help with maintenance
Operator guides
