The CP as Web server

Enabling the Web server function
To use the Web server functionality of the CP, enable the relevant option in STEP 7 in the
module properties, "Web" parameter group. This enables port 80 of the CP.
If you no longer require the functions, deactivate the function. The Web server function is
enabled as default.
Web diagnostics
The CP provides you with the functionality of a web server for access by means of a web
browser. The CP provides HTML pages for Web diagnostics. With the aid of Web
diagnostics, you can read out the diagnostics data from a station connected via the CP to a
PG/PC with an Internet browser.
With the following address, you have access to Web diagnostics:
http:\\<IP address of the CP>
Using the integrated update center of the diagnostics pages, you can download new
firmware versions and language files for the diagnostics buffer message texts.
For detailed information on Web diagnostics, refer to the general Part A of this manual, /1/
(Page 60).
Diagnostics buffer entries
When supplied, diagnostics buffer entries shown on diagnostics pages are always in English.
This is the case whichever language you have selected to display the Web pages.
How to download other language files to the CP and further information about Web
diagnostics can be found in the general Part A of this manual.
