Introduction
Web Designer is a state-of-the-art software application with which you can create
operator panels and configure Web based operating parameters for Web human
machine interface (Web HMI) devices. It provides all the tools needed to design an
HMI project, from the data acquisition to the creation and display of animated Web
drawings.
Web Designer handles the following for the device website:
 editing,
 configuration,
 modification.
Web Designer offers two levels of personalization:

 the creation of a devices variable base that can be viewed and modified in Web
pages,
 the addition of your own Web pages on the device site.
Web Designer provides an interface to configure services:
Name Description
E-mail It sends notification periodically or when a specific event occurs.
Calculation It performs arithmetic and logical operations on a combination of variables.
Database It archives internal or processed data into a database.
Active Pages It enables you to create your own HTML pages that can be used to view
variables in real time.
Datalogging It enables you to save information such as configuration, variable values,
log files into a file system.
Recipe Used to change the values of a set of variables when a predefined event
occurs.
Recipe Used to update values of a set of variables with values contained in a
Database database table when a predefined event occurs.
Devices
In the Schneider Electric product range, Web Designer unites website configuration
with services carried out in the coupling unit or device. A Web Designer project can
simultaneously manage several devices.
The following list indicates FactoryCast Gateway devices managed by Web
Designer. This list includes:
 TSX ETG 3000 v1.11
 TSX ETG 3010 v1.11
 TSX ETG 3021 v1.11

Compatibility between Web Designer Target Version and TSX ETG 30•• Firmware
The version of the firmware available in the TSX ETG 30•• module is identical to the
version of the target used in the Web Designer project.
An upgrade function is available in Web Designer via the menu:
Target →Upgrade Target version
This function upgrades only the Web Designer application to the latest version. If
necessary, upgrade the firmware of the TSX ETG 30••.
TSX ETG 30•• configurable parameters with Web Designer

Web Designer also enables you to configure TSX ETG 30•• parameters for:
 IP (Internet Protocol)
 DNS (Domain Name System)
 modem
 NTP (Network Time Protocol)
 Modbus
 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
 NAT (Network Address Translation)
 VPN (Virtual Private Network)
 UnitID (Modbus UnitID Routing)
 StandBy (Modem StandBy)
Simulation
Web Designer lets you simulate devices to debug the application. This means you
can verify the behavior of Web pages and services without being physically
connected to the device or to the module.

Graphic Editor
Introduction
The Graphic Editor enables you to create Web pages in which the values of
variables are displayed as graphic objects, such as VU meters, indicators, etc.
In the configuration phase, the Graphic Editor allows you to edit and view screens
at the same time. In the operation phase, you can only visualize one screen at a time
in order to optimize memory resources.
Some graphic objects allow values to be entered. In this case, the variable must be
write authorized and, in order to be able to use it, the user must have entered the
write authorization password.
Be aware, however, that if communication to the device linked to the graphic object
is lost, the object becomes inoperative without the end device’s knowledge.
WARNING
Do not use graphic objects in situations where loss of communication to the
module can affect human or material integrity. Graphic objects are not intended for
use in critical machine functions.
equipment damage.
For example, say you have programmed a pushbutton object to jog a motor when
the button is depressed and to stop jogging when the button is released. If
communications are lost while the button is depressed, the motor will continue to jog
even when the button is released. Graphic objects should not be used to control
situations such as this unless other interlock precautions are installed in the system.

Ethernet Parameters
The Ethernet parameters area describes the characteristics of the Ethernet
communication:
 Ethernet frame format corresponds to the standard used for the Ethernet
connection. Ethernet II is the most commonly used and complies with RFC 894
standard (this parameter cannot be changed).
 Link speed and duplex displays the characteristics of the Ethernet connection.
100-FD-Auto means a connection speed up to 100Mbits/s, Full Duplex with
Automatic negotiation (these parameters cannot be changed).
IP Parameters
The IP parameters area enables you to define the IP address of the module for the
Ethernet connection in 3 different ways:
 the address is deduced from the MAC address of the module by clicking on
Served from MAC address, in which case the Local Served address input area
is grayed out.
 the address is provided by a DHCP server by clicking Served from device
name, in which case the address input area is grayed out.
 the address is configured manually by clicking Local served.
35012721 03/2012 65
If you choose Local served, you can specify:
 the IP address of the module in the IP Address field,
 the subnetwork mask, in the Subnet mask field,
 the IP address of a gateway, in the Default Gateway field.
If you choose Served from device name, the IP address of the module is
configured via a remote device acting as a DHCP (FDR) server. In this case, FDR
parameters have to be specified.
If you choose Served from MAC address, the module uses its default IP address
which is deduced from its MAC address (for more information see FactoryCast HMI
Gateway TSX ETG 30•• Product Range user manual).
FDR Parameters
The FDR parameters area enables you to configure an automatic connection:
 Enter the name of the module in the Device Name field.
 Enter the time (in seconds) for automatic comparison between your configuration
of the TSX ETG 30•• and the configuration stored on the DHCP server. If a
difference is found, the TSX ETG 30•• automatically saves the configuration to
the server.

Project Validation
Introduction
Web Designer for TSX ETG 30•• carries out a validation on the structure of the
project before transferring files to the target. If the verification fails, the transfer is
cancelled. Web Designer for TSX ETG 30•• also performs a comparison between
the PC configuration and the target configuration.
Validating a Project
When you start a transfer, Web Designer for TSX ETG 30•• performs a project
validation. You can also validate a project at any time by selecting Project
Validation in the Project menu.
The validation process monitors the following points:

 The available space on the target is bigger than the size of the website.
 The use of a user page or a service, with variables that will not be in the
Namespace (file Namespace.dat).
 The number of variables is less that the maximum number authorized for the
target (1000 variables).

Connecting/Disconnecting to/from the Simulator
Introduction
The following information describes the operating mode for launching an application
through the simulator.
The simulator enables you to execute an application without having to connect to a
target. It is therefore possible to test the application from a PC before transferring it
to the target.
NOTE: The graphic and data editors (see page 191) are both active in simulation
mode. You can therefore modify these pages in simulation mode.
Once the changes are made, carry out a partial transfer in order to reduce transfer
time.
Connecting to the Simulator

Introduction
Namespace groups together variables (symbols) that were previously selected for
targets or devices. Data Editors, Graphic Editors, and services get symbols from
Namespace.
Variables come from either connected devices or from PLC applications. If you
connect a device type to the same target several times, compose the name as
follows in order to have a unique name: device.name, variable name. If the device
is a PLC, compose the names of variables declared in the PLC like this: PLC
device.name, PLC variable name.

Device and HMI Services
Presentation
The TSX ETG 30•• modules can perform internal standalone processing such as
HMI functions. HMI functions also called "services" are executed inside the module
itself independently of any other processing done at SCADA level.
The following HMI functions are available:
 Device Services: for configuring devices data acquisition (device variables
polling).
 Calculation: perform calculations scripts for custom data processing.
 Email: for alarm or report notification via email or SMS.
 Datalogging: automatic archiving of application information such as measures,
events, alarms, device status, etc, to CSV log files into TSX ETG 30•• module
memory (Flash memory, CF card, USB memory key).
 Database connection: automatic archiving of application information into an
external relational database (SQL Server, Oracle, MySql).
 Active pages: creation of custom dynamic HTML reports.
 Recipe: automatic management of recipe data files to initialize a group of
variables set at predetermined values when a specified event occurs.
Web Designer for TSX ETG 30•• software is used to configure the HMI services. You
only need to configure the parameters for each service; no programming is required.
The software provides a simulation mode to simplify test and debug of the
application without being connected to an TSX ETG 30•• module.
Flexible Web HMI Solution

These embedded HMI services provide a robust and reliable solution that can be
useful for the following use cases:
 Data concentrator front-end with Web and HMI portal features.
 A standalone Web based HMI running inside the TSX ETG 30•• module when a
conventional HMI or SCADA solution is not required. In this case, it provides a
flexible cost effective multi user HMI solution using a simple Web browser
interface for remote monitoring.
 In combination with a conventional HMI or SCADA solution, they make easier
remote monitoring and control.
 A backup solution for SCADA applications. It enables backup of some critical
SCADA functions such as data acquisition, datalogging, alarming, reporting,
email, etc.

Email and SMS Services
Presentation
The TSX ETG 3021 module can automatically and dynamically send email or SMS
to alert specified users on:
 production reports
 maintenance reminders
 plant status updates
 other plant information.
The email service enables you to create various email notifications (including names
of the recipients, email addresses, message subject, email body and attached files).
Email bodies can include fixed text messages, hyperlinks, file attachments and real-
time application values dynamically integrated in the email body at the moment the
email is sent by the module. File can be attached to the email (for example Data
logging file generated by the Data logging service).
SMS messages may also be sent to mobile phones if you are using a TSX ETG 3021
or if the email server of the client has the capability. SMS is a dedicated configuration
of the email service. Email or SMS is sent when predefined application or process
event is triggered.
For more information on the email and SMS service principle, refer to the
FactoryCast HMI Gateway TSX ETG 30•• Product Range user manual.
NOTE:
 The SMS service is only available for the TSX ETG 302• product range.
 The product is not designed for:

Database Service
General
The Database service enables the TSX ETG 30•• to perform automatic archiving of
application data (process events, status, measures, etc.) into a remote relational
database server. Data can be archived (written) periodically or on event. Capability
to connect directly TSX ETG 30•• modules to relational databases provide easy
integration of control level system into company information management system.
The TSX ETG 30•• module can be connected directly to the following remote
relational databases:
 SQL Server,
 MySQL,
 Oracle.
Various database tables can be created per database server. The database service
allows data archiving into 3 different database servers for redundancy.
For more information on the Database service principle, refer to the FactoryCast
HMI Gateway TSx ETG 30•• Product Range user manual.
NOTE: The product is not designed for:
 integrity of data sent by the module with the database service,
 the exactness of the time at which data are logged.

Datalogging Service
Introduction
The datalogging service allows application data archiving (events, alarms, process
data, devices status, measures, etc.) in the internal memory of the TSX ETG 30••
module. This service allows you to log data into local CSV files in ASCII format. The
CSV files are stored in the memory of the TSX ETG 30•• module (internal flash
memory or saved memory of the module, Compact Flash (CF) card or USB memory
key).
The datalogging can be performed either periodically, or when a specific event
occurs (configured by the user). CSV files are directly usable by a MS Excel
spreadsheet or a database management system (DBMS). The CSV files can also
be sent via FTP, or attached to an email (using the email service) and sent
automatically to specified users. The CSV files can also be accessed by FTP client.
You can use the datalogging history files to animate the Datalogging history
(see page 236) trending in the Graphic Editor.
For more information on the Datalogging service principle, refer to the FactoryCast
HMI Gateway TSX ETG 30•• Product Range User Manual.

Active Pages Service
General
The active pages service allows you to create custom dynamic HTML pages that
can be used for real-time HTML reporting. Active pages service can incorporate
real-time values of application variables into the body of the HTML pages with a
behavior similar to an active server page. Real-time values are refreshed by the
sever side in run-time.
This technology has 2 benefits:
 Creation of animated Web pages without using Java applets, so that HTML page
size is kept to a minimum. Very useful in case of modem connection or in a
Pocket PC environment.
 The only protocol used for communication with the browser is HTTP, so this
technology can cross firewalls.

Recipe Service
General
The Recipe service is used to initialize a group of variables set at predetermined
values (also called recipe) when a specified event occurs. The predetermined
values are saved in a recipe file in XML format. Recipe files can be stored locally in
the TSX ETG 30•• memory or in a remote PC.The recipe execution is initialized
automatically by the TSX ETG 30•• module on an event trigger (process event,
operator action, etc). When the event occurs, the recipe service accesses the recipe
file (in XML format) stored locally or remotely through an HTTP server, reads the
values that correspond to the variables, then updates the PLC variables.

Recipe Database Service
Presentation
The Recipe database service enables you to set the value of process variables to
predetermined values stored in a database table. In other words, you can create
recipes or initialize application variables of your process with values stored in a
database (SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle).
You can also save the state of your process by storing the value of your application
variables into database tables.
This can be achieved periodically, or when a specific event occurs (configured by
the user).
Only 1 recipe database service can be used per project.

9.2 Graphic Editor
Subject of this Section

This section describes the functions and characteristics of the Graphic Editor. The
Graphic Editor is a Web page that enables the user to create dynamic graphic
displays using a predefined set of graphic objects. The Graphic Editor is both a
graphic editor that can be used to create and modify displays and a Runtime
environment that allows the user to view animated displays using data from the PLC.
To limit the size of the applet, only Viewer is accessible from the module’s website.

Overview of the Graphic Editor
Interface
The Graphic Editor is made up of three windows:
 Top window: features an area for presenting the user commands and dialog
boxes for creating, saving, reading and editing a graphic display.
 Display window: presents the current graphic display. When you create a new
graphic display, this window turns into a blank space into which you can add the
graphic objects that will make up the required graphic display.
 Message window: contains messages generated by the Graphic Editor.
View of the Graphic Editor

The figure below shows the Graphic Editor with its initial top window and empty
display and message windows.
Graphic Objects
The graphic objects supplied with the Graphic Editor can communicate with the
modbus devices from which the Graphic Editor was downloaded. There is no
additional "wiring" between the graphic objects and the "communication objects".
The graphic objects are designed as standalone objects, which means that no
connection is needed between the objects, and that each object is capable of
operating on its own.

NOTE: Write access is controlled by a password whose default value is USER.
Creating and Modifying Graphic Displays

To create and modify graphic displays, click Edit.... The standard functions of the
Graphic Editor are displayed. With these tools, you can select objects from a palette,
position them in an area, move and resize them with the mouse and define their
properties. You can immediately test the graphic display modified with the execution
data from modbus devices by clicking Done to leave Edit mode. If you are satisfied
with the graphic display you have created, you can save it in the module for later use
by clicking Save..., provided that you have entered the correct password.
NOTE: Be careful when you modify and save a graphic page, the last modifications
will be saved and will overwrite the existing page even if someone else has created
it.
User Functions
Most of the user functions in the Graphic Editor can be found in the top window
(see page 205). You can modify the size and position of a graphic object directly in
the display window. The properties of a graphic object (such as its scale, labels,
colors and Uni-Telway execution data device addresses) are defined in the
properties sheet (see page 213).

Graphic Editor Toolbar
Overview
The Graphic Editor toolbar is composed of several dialog panels, only one of which
is shown at a time. Switching from one dialog to another is done by clicking the
buttons on the current dialog. This section describes the dialog panels that comprise
the top window.
Top Dialog
The Edit Dialog allows you to select a graphic object for placement in the display
window, and provides access to graphic editing functions. The available graphic
objects are presented in a set of palettes, with one palette visible at a time. There
are two palettes.
The standard palette:
The extended palette:
The controls in the top dialog box provide the following functions.
 Drop-down List. The drop-down list box shows the graphic pages that have
been saved, and are available for retrieving. When you select a graphic page
from this list, the graphic display currently visible in the window is replaced with
the one selected. If the current graphic page has been modified since it was last
saved, you will be asked for confirmation that the changes are to be discarded. If
the special entry <new> is chosen from the list, then the display window is
cleared, and a new graphic page can be created.
 Save. The Save button causes the Save dialog box to become visible. This
button is disabled until you have entered a correct write-enable password.
 Delete. The Delete... button causes the Delete dialog box to become visible.
This button is disabled until you have entered a correct password, or if the current
graphic display has not yet been saved.
 Edit. The Edit... button causes the Edit dialog box to become visible.
 Information display area. The information display area shows the name and
version of the Concept, PL7 or Unity Pro program that is running in the connected
PLC.
35012721 03/2012 205

Monitoring
Save Dialog
The Save dialog box allows you to save the current graphic display.
When the Save dialog box is presented, the name of the current graphic page is
shown in the dialog’s text field. If the current graphic page has not yet been saved
(i.e., a "new" graphic display), then the text field is blank. Once you have either
accepted the current name (a "save" operation) or provided a new name (a "save
as" operation), then you can click OK to save the contents of the current graphic
display to the Web server module. The Cancel button will cause the Top dialog box
to be shown again, with no action being taken.
Delete Dialog
The Delete dialog box allows you to delete the current graphic page.
If you click Yes, the existing graphic display window is cleared and the graphics file
on the Web server module is deleted. Clicking No will cause the Top dialog box to
be shown again, with no action being taken.
Password Dialog
The Password dialog box allows you to enter the password that enables those
user functions that modify graphic display files or PLC run-time data values.
If you enter the correct password and click OK, then you will be allowed to save and
delete the current graphic display. Correct password entry also permits you to write
new values to the PLC (via those graphic objects that support writing values to a
PLC, if any). If you click OK when the text field is empty, then the current password
permissions, if any, are cleared. The Cancel button will cause the Top dialog box
to be shown again, with no changes made to current password permissions.
206 35012721 03/2012

Monitoring
Edit Dialog
The Edit dialog box allows you to create or modify a graphic page, by selecting a
graphic object for placement in the display window, and accessing all the graphic
editing functions. The graphic objects available are presented in a single object
palette.
The controls of the Edit dialog box provide the following functions:
 The Drop-down List Box shows the set of palettes that are available. When you
select the name of a palette from the list, the palette area of the dialog displays
the selected one’s graphic objects.
 The Palette shows the graphic objects that are in the current palette with an icon
that depicts each graphic object’s type (meter, button, etc.). When you click any
of the icons in the palette, a graphic object of the corresponding type becomes
selected for insertion. While the Graphic Editor is in "insert mode," if you click in
an open area of the display window, an instance of the selected graphic object is
inserted into the graphic display.
 The Information Area shows the name and size of the graphic object that is
currently selected.
 The Cut button causes the currently selected graphic object(s) to be removed
from the graphic display and saved to a buffer (i.e., an internal clipboard),
replacing any existing contents of the buffer.
 The Copy button causes the currently selected graphic object(s) to be copied to
the buffer, replacing any existing contents.
 The Paste button causes the content of the clipboard to be inserted into the upper
left corner of the graphic display. The pasted graphic objects can then be moved
to the desired location in the display.
 The Properties button causes the properties sheet (see page 213) for the
currently selected graphic object to be shown.
 The Customize button causes the Customizer for the currently selected object to
be shown, if the graphic object has been provided with one.
 The Layout button shows the Layout dialog box.
 The Options button shows the Options dialog box.
 The Done button causes the Top dialog box to be shown again.
35012721 03/2012 207

Monitoring
Layout Dialog
The Layout dialog box allows you to change the position and size of a group of
graphic objects.
The controls of the Layout dialog box provide the following functions.
 The Right, Bottom, Left, and Top buttons can be used to align the edges of the
selected graphic objects so that their specified sides are at the same position.
Select at least two graphic objects to enable these buttons.
 The Horizontal, and Vertical buttons are used to align the centers of the graphic
objects. Select at least two graphic objects to enable these buttons.
 The Horizontal and Vertical buttons are used to space the selected graphic
objects regularly, in order that the horizontal or vertical spacing between the
objects is the same. Select at least three graphic objects to enable these buttons.
 The Width and Height buttons are used to achieve parity in dimensions of the
graphic objects, so the selected width or height corresponds. Select at least two
graphic objects to enable these buttons.
 The Done button causes the Edit dialog box to be shown again.
NOTE: For layout operations (except Space evenly) one of the selected objects is
considered the "reference object" to which other selected objects refer in order to
know their new position or dimension. For example, when the "Width" button is
pressed, of the selected objects will have their width changed to match the width of
the reference object. The reference object is differentiated from the other selected
objects by making its selection box a different color than the others.

Monitoring
Options Dialog
The Options dialog box is used to change the settings related to a grid drawn in
the display window. The grid is solely for assistance in editing or creating a graphic
display and is shown only when the Graphic Editor is in "edit mode."
The controls of the Options dialog box provide the following function.
 The cell size of the grid can be changed by the entering the grid’s column width
and row height into the dialog’s text fields.
 If the Show grid check-box is checked, the grid will be drawn; otherwise, no grid
will be shown.
 If the Snap to grid check-box is checked, then, when you change the size or
position of a graphic object, the changed coordinate(s) or dimension(s) is
automatically adjusted so that it coincides with a grid point.
 The OK button causes the current option settings to become active, and the Edit
dialog box to be shown again.
 The Cancel button causes the Edit dialog box to be shown again, with no option
settings being changed.

Monitoring
User Functions in the Display Window
Overview
The user functions available in the Graphic Editor display window enable objects
to be selected, moved and resized. To move or resize an object or objects, start by
selecting the graphic object(s) to be modified. An object is selected when it is
surrounded by a selection box.
The figure below shows the Graphic Editor display window.
210 35012721 03/2012

Monitoring
Selecting Graphic Objects

You can set the selection status (selected/deselected) for a graphic object using the
following user actions:
 To select a graphic object, just click it with the mouse. If other objects have
already been selected, they will immediately be deselected.
 You can select several graphic objects at a time using the selection box in the
display window. If you press the mouse button in a free area of the display
window (not on a graphic object) and move the mouse without releasing the
button, a box bordered with dotted lines will appear. One corner of the box
remains fixed where you first pressed the button, while the opposite corner
follows the mouse cursor position. When you release the mouse button, the
objects within the selection box are selected. Objects outside the selection box
are deselected.
 You can select/deselect a graphic object without altering the selection status of
other objects. To do this, hold down the CTRL key when you click an object. This
allows you to add or remove individual graphic objects in a group of selected
objects.
 You can also select a graphic object without altering the selection status of other
objects by holding down the SHIFT key when you click the object. When you
select an object in this way, it becomes the reference object (see page 208) in the
group of selected objects. The main purpose of this action is to modify the
reference object in a group of selected objects before using one of the Page
layout operations.
 You can deselect the graphic objects by clicking the mouse button in a free area
of the display window, not a graphic object.
Sizing Graphic Objects

To change the size of a graphic object, select it and then use the mouse to change
the size of the selection box around the object. When you move the mouse cursor
over the object’s selection box, the cursor’s appearance changes according to the
type of resizing you may perform. If you press the mouse button while the cursor is
over the object’s selection box and move the mouse without releasing the button, a
box bordered with dotted lines will appear. When you release the mouse button, the
object is resized to fit the dimensions of the area you have defined. You can carry
out different resizing operations depending on which part of the object’s selection
box you move. Each corner of the box enables the adjacent sides to be moved, and
each side enables that side only to be moved.
35012721 03/2012 211

Monitoring
Moving Graphic Objects

You can move a graphic object in the display window using the mouse. If you press
the mouse button while the cursor is over an object and move the mouse without
releasing the button, a selection box will appear. When you release the mouse
button, the object is moved into the selection box.
To move several graphic objects, select them and then move the group of objects in
the same way as you would a single object. When you move a group of objects, a
selection box appears for each object in the group.
Defining Graphic Object Properties

You can define the properties of a graphic object using the property sheet
(see page 213). If this window is displayed, you can modify the properties of the
selected graphic object. You can display the property sheet by clicking Properties...
or by double-clicking on the selected object in the display window.
Customizing Complex Graphic Objects

Certain complex graphic objects have a very wide range of properties. Configuring
these objects using the properties sheet can be a long-winded process. You can use
a customization module to make it easier to configure complex graphic objects. The
customization module is a dialog box designed specially for configuring the graphic
object with which it is associated. When the Graphic Editor detects a customization
module associated with the selected graphic object, the Customize... button is
enabled so that the module can be accessed. When you double-click a graphic
object that has an associated customization module, the module is displayed
instead of the properties sheet. If a graphic object has an associated customization
module, only its name is displayed in the properties sheet.
Display Background Image

The Background image property of the Graphic Editor allows you to choose an
image that will be used as the background for the display. The image may be a .gif
file or a .jpeg file. Refer to the Adding Images part (see page 242) for information on
adding images.
212 35012721 03/2012

Monitoring
Properties Sheet
Overview
The properties sheet is a floating (non-modal) dialog box which presents the
configurable properties of the selected graphic object:
The properties of a graphic object are specific to its type. They are contained in a
drop-down list, and are identified by a name and value. The Graphic Editor provides
a description of the graphic objects (see page 218).
Find variables dialog box

For each of the graphic objects provided with the Graphic Editor, a property editor is
provided for its Address property. This property editor not only allows you to directly
enter the address of a variable, but also provides access to the Find variables
dialog box. The Lookup Dialog allows you to pick a symbol (variable) name from a
list of symbol (variables) that have been "Web enabled" by Web Designer.

Security
Security
Your data is protected by three security devices:
 The HTML page which contains the Graphic Editor applet has been placed in a
secure directory on the Web module. The Web browser user is therefore invited
to enter a password which will allow him/her to download the HTML page.
 You must enter the correct password in the Password dialog box to be able to
save/delete files or send data values. For the transfer of data values, the Graphic
Editor reinforces the read only mode by deactivating all the graphic objects user
commands.
 Web Designer for TSX ETG 30•• allows you to indicate if an element is read only.
The Graphic Editor reinforces the read only attribute of a symbol (variable) or
address by rejecting any request which would define a new data value and by
warning the user via the Graphic Editor message window.

Monitoring
Graphic Editor Applet Parameters
Overview
Three applet parameters allow the Graphic Editor behavior to be customized.
These are defined by the <PARAM> tags inside the <APPLET> tag on the Graphic
Editor HTML page. The parameters recognized by the Graphic Editor applet are as
follows:
 LOAD: this parameter asks the Graphic Editor to automatically load a specific
graphic file at start-up. If this file does not exist, a message is displayed. If this
parameter does not appear in the <APPLET> tag, no file will be automatically
loaded at start-up. In this case, select an initial graphic file from the list proposed
by the Graphic Editor.
 MODE: this parameter asks the Graphic Editor to start either in Edit (normal
mode) or View mode (specific mode). When starting in View mode, the Graphic
Editor only displays the display window. When this parameter is used with the
LOAD parameter, you can design a website with HTML pages dedicated to
specific graphic display. The user does not need to select a graphic file so the
behavior of the HMI screen is more standard. This parameter may take the
following values:
 EDIT (default value): The Graphic Editor starts up in Edit mode (normal
mode).
 VIEW_RO: The Graphic Editor starts up in View mode (read only). The Web
browser user is not authorized to send data values to Modbus devices.
 VIEW_RW: The Graphic Editor starts up in View mode (read/write). The Web
browser user is authorized to send data values to Modbus devices after having
entered the password to allow write access.
 AUTO_LOGIN: this parameter asks the Graphic Editor to automatically indicate
the password which authorizes write access to Modbus devices. If the MODE
parameter is set to VIEW_RW or EDIT, and if you set AUTO_LOGIN to TRUE,
the Graphic Editor authorizes write access to Modbus devices without asking
the user to enter a password. This parameter may take the values FALSE
(default value) and TRUE.
216 35012721 03/2012

Monitoring
Example
Here is an example of an <APPLET> tag which asks the Graphic Editor to start in
View mode and automatically load a graphic file called UNIT_1. In this case, the
Web browser allows you to send values to Modbus devices via any graphic object
handling the sending of values (providing that the password to allow write access
has been entered).

Notes
The notes relating to this section are as follows:
1. The Data Type property needs to correspond exactly to the actual data type of the
variable.
If the Address property is the direct address of a binary PLC reference (reference 0x/1x
Quantum for example), set the Data Type property to Coil for outputs or to Discrete Input
for discrete inputs.
2. The various values of the Data Type property have the following meanings:
Type Signification
COIL output bit (Boolean)
DISCRETE INPUT input bit (Boolean)
REGISTER 16-bit signed integer
INT32 32-bit signed integer
INT32SWAP 32-bit signed integer with least significant and most significant
words inverted
INPUT REGISTER 16-bit signed integer for analog input
3. The limits of the Maximum PLC Value and Minimum PLC Value properties are the
natural limits of the configured Data Type property.
4. For a push button, specify at least one value. If several values are entered, they will be
assigned to an address table starting with the direct address indicated.
5. For the applet to display a numerical data value instead of a label, specify parameters
in the HTML code as follows: name = "label" value = "$data$".

Installing a Microsoft FrontPage Extension
Overview
This section describes how to install/remove the Web Designer for TSX ETG 30••
extension for Microsoft FrontPage 2000.
Installing FactoryCast
During the installation of Web Designer for TSX ETG 30••, if FrontPage 2000 has
been installed on the same PC, then the Web Designer Extension for FrontPage
2000 is automatically installed as a FrontPage "Macro File." If this is the case, then
proceed to the next section, which provides instructions for adding the Extension to
FrontPage’s menu.
However, if FrontPage 2000 is installed after Web Designer for TSX ETG 30•• has
been installed, then the Extension can be installed by either re-installing Web
Designer for TSX ETG 30•• or manually copying the macro file to FrontPage’s
macro folder. For manual installation, after installing FrontPage 2000, the following
will install the Extension:
Copy the file Microsoft FrontPage.fpm from CD-ROM to the folder
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\Macros (create the final
’Macros’ folder, if it does not already exist).
Adding Extension
To add the Web Designer or the Modbus extension to the FrontPage Insert menu,
do the following.
Step Action
1 Start FrontPage 2000.
2 Click Customize on the Tools menu.

Inserting a LiveBeanApplet with FrontPage
Overview
This section describes how to insert a LiveBeanApplet into a Web page. Before
proceeding with the insertion, read the following note then carry out the 14
operations described below.
NOTE: Prior to inserting a LiveBeanApplet into a Web page, you must create a
JavaBeans library using the Graphic Editor. Generally a user will create a
JavaBeans library that has one instance of every object that they would like to use
in a Web page. Think of this library as a set of templates that are copied to and
customized for your Web pages. For example a library may have one analog meter,
one rotary selector, and one push button. Multiple instances of each bean can then
be added to a Web page, each with a set of unique parameters such as an address.
Inserting a LiveBeanApplet
To insert a LiveBeanApplet, follow the steps below:
Step Action
1 Select Tools | Macro, then to display the applet selection window click Macros.

Uploading FrontPage Support Pages
Overview
If you add support web pages to the default website, you may choose to protect
them with the same user name and the same password as those used for the default
pages, or to authorize access to all users (no password required).
To add pages to the site, you must specify the folder in which the pages are stored
before you can upload them to the server.
Indicating the File Location

Place the folders containing your web pages and any associated graphics in a
common directory. Each subdirectory should normally contain a page called
index.htm.
Make sure that all graphics file names are in DOS 8.3 format (a maximum of eight
characters for the name and three characters for the extension).
Security pages (with a password) should be copied to the \wwwroot\secure\user
directory of the embedded server.
Pages accessible to all should be copied to the \wwwroot\unsecure\user directory of
the embedded server.
NOTE: Do not forget to create new hyperlinks to other web pages to enable these
pages to be accessed via the browser.
Uploading to a Server
To upload the pages to the server, follow the steps below.
Step Action
1 Save your project.
2 Select File | Publish Web Site in the menu.
Result: the Publish Web Site dialog box opens with the FTP address to be
incorporated.
Use ftp://module_ip_address/wwwroot/unsecure/user for your free access
pages.
Use ftp://module_ip_address/wwwroot/secure/user for your password-secured
pages.
3 Click on Publish to confirm the start of uploading.
Note: A window will appear, asking for a name and password. The default value
for both is ‘wsupgrade’.

Security
External Security
Overview
If your network has been configured to enable users to consult your Internet site,
your security system is the same as that of an intranet site, only you have an
additional security measure: a firewall.
Architecture of a Firewall
A firewall forms a gateway between Internet and your embedded server. You can
use a firewall to restrict or forbid access to your website.
A firewall can be configured to authorize network connections to a limited range of
ports, or to authorize traffic to or from certain IP addresses.
Types of Firewalls
There are two types of firewalls:
 Network firewalls
 Application firewalls
Network Firewalls
Network firewalls are often installed between the Internet and a single entry point to
an intranet or internal network.
35012721 03/2012 281

Security
Application-Level Firewalls
An application firewall works for an application, for example FTP. It intercepts all
traffic sent to this application, and decides whether or not to transmit this traffic to
the application. Application firewalls are located on individual host computers.
Firewall Configuration
Web Designer uses HTTP, FTP and Schneider Electric Modbus application protocol
(MBAP) to access embedded server pages and files. If you want viewers to be able
to access your site from the Internet and your embedded server is behind by a
firewall, you need to configure the firewall to authorize HTTP, FTP and MBAP traffic.
Port Protocol Access to...

21 FTP Embedded server files (behind a firewall)
Higher than 1024
80 HTTP Web pages
502 MBAP Operational data
NOTE:
 The default FTP name and password are USER/USER.
 The FactoryCast client follows the "Firewall Friendly FTP" standard, RFC 1579.
It issues an FTP PASV command to the FactoryCast server before any attempt
to establish an FTP data connection.
 The online mode of the configuration tool is not operational if the module is behind
a firewall. The ports in this mode are dynamically assigned.
