26 Communicate over Networks
1768-EWEB Web Server Module
The 1768-EWEB EtherNet/IP web server module supports:
• the bridging and routing of messages, but no I/O control.
• data access (read and write) to controllers via a standard web browser.
• custom web pages.
• email.
• raw, open-socket interface.
In this example:
• you can route messages, upload/download programs, and flash upgrade
modules by using the web server module as part of the communication
path to access the target device.
• you can view and modify data that resides in a 1768 CompactLogix
controller via a standard web browser.
• you can create custom web pages that are tailored to your application.
Use ASP functions to populate your web pages with live controller data.
• you can send an email initiated by a Logix controller via a MSG
instruction.
• you can open TCP or UDP communication links to other standard
Ethernet devices via open sockets.
