Saia® PCD Web-Server
The Saia® PCD controllers PCD1.M125, PCD1.M135, PCD2.M150, PCD2.M170,
PCD2.M480 and PCD3.Mxxx0 come with an integrated web server as standard:
● Web browser as a tool for comissioning, support and visualization:comissioning, support and visualization:, support and visualization:
Access to the Saia® Web server is via standard web browsers such as Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This makes the web browser, which can be
operated intuitively by anyone, the standard tool for comissioning, service,
support and visualization of machines, units and installations. The user can
retrieve pre-defined device and system-specific HTML pages, giving access to
all data on controllers and RIOs. Graphical elements (images, diagrams etc.) as
well as text documents (operating and repair manuals) can also be integrated
into the HTML pages, to provide a personalized user interface
● General access to any desired interfaces and networks:
Access to the web server is available not only via Ethernet TCP/IP, but also via
cost-effective standard serial interfaces (RS 232, RS 485, modem etc.) and via
Profibus networks, throughout the system and at different levels in the network.
This makes it economical to use web technology to operate and monitor even
the smallest applications.
● The Saia® PCD web server is integrated into all products:
Having a web server integrated as standard eliminates the cost of run-time
licenses or additional modules. In the Saia® PCD3 controllers enumerated
above and the Saia® PCD3 RIOs, the web server is already included in the
base units, at no extra cost.
