WebMI Introduction

WebMI is a HTML5 based HTTPClosed HTTP (Web Server) - Hypertext Transfer Protocol - A standard Client/Server Internet protocol, based on RFC1945, which transfers web content over a TCP/IP network. server, where access to data and visualizations is enabled from anywhere via web clients. WebMI empowers users to control everything onscreen from a computer, tablet, or other mobile device. It is not necessary for the user to create HTTP web pages. The pages are created by Cscape via the Graphic Editor and transferred to the OCS controller’s removable media card. This turns the OCS controller into a web server that can be used with most internet browsers. WebMI support requires Cscape 9.70 and Firmware 14.14 at a minimum. It is recommended to use Cscape 980 SP2 and Firmware 15.0 and onwards to take advantage of improvements and additional features.

The web pages can be published from either the primary controller application or from an alternate ‘Web Designer’ application, which is selected in the Cscape hardware configuration. The typical method for transferring the published web pages to the OCS controller is via FTPClosed FTP - File Transfer Protocol - A standard Client/Server Internet protocol, based on RFC959, which supports file transfers over a TCP/IP network. over an Ethernet connection. Using FTP, the pages are transferred from Cscape to the Removable Media card. Once the published web page files have been successfully transferred to the Removable Media card in the controller, the interface can be remotely viewed from any PC, or wireless device connected to the same local network.

WebMI Licenses

WebMI License from Cscape

WebMI License from the Web

A license is required to utilize the WebMI feature and is applied to a single Horner OCS. The license is good for the life of the unit, and there are not recurring costs. There are multiple license options and multiple paths to obtain a license. The license is tied to that OCS unit’s Ethernet MAC ID. At the time this document was published, the WebMI license options are as follows:

Part Number

Users

Data Points

Pages

Licenses

HE-WMV01001 Unlimited 100 20 1
HE-WMV09901 Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited 1

  • Pages: These are the number of webpages built by Cscape. The number of pages is the same as the number of screens configured in an application. Example: If the application has eight (8) configured screens, a 20-page or unlimited license is required or an alternate application would need to be published that conforms to a 5-page license.

  • Users: The number of users defined in the User Security Configuration for Level Based Access. Refer toPublish WebMI Pages .

  • Data Points: Any screen object that is assigned a %address or variable uses a Data Point. Example: numeric, switch, lamp, and trend objects would use Data Points. Objects not assigned a %address or variable do not use Data Points. Example: static text, bitmapsClosed A non-compressed image file format which uses small dots in a grid pattern to create an image., shapes, and screen jumps typically do not use Data Points. However, it is possible through object options such as Attributes to assign a %address or variable. Attributes can be used to override colors, visibility, etc. In this case, because a %address or variable is assigned, a Data Point is used. A single data point used repetitively on multiple screens still counts as only one used data point.

Building Web Pages

Cscape builds web pages according to HTML5 standards. The pages built are derived from the screens developed in the Cscape Graphic Editor. With a few exceptions, what you see in the Cscape Graphic Editor is what you get in the WebMI built web page. The benefit is that you can monitor and control your OCS application remotely without any manual HTML development. Another primary benefit is that the web pages are not limited to predefined templates or premade pages.

Note: Early in the process it should be decided what kind of screen resolution is needed and if the web pages are to perform synchronously with the screens on the OCS. This will determine if pages should be published from the main application or from a Web Designer application.

 

Publish Pages from Main Application

The main application is the primary program .csp or .pgm file that is downloaded to the OCS controller. This includes the logic, I/O configuration, communication protocols, and screens that appear on the OCS itself. The Hardware Configuration of the main application will show the Series, Device Type, and Model # of the OCS in use. WebMI can publish pages from the main application. The result is that the web pages viewed in an internet browser will appear mostly identical to what is seen on the OCS screen.

When publishing from the main application, Screen Sync for synchronousClosed In step or in phase, as applied to two or more circuits, devices, or machines. Contrasted with Asynchronous. operation may be selected. Use Screen Sync to have the pages displayed in the browser follow what is displayed on the OCS. Synchronous mode also causes the OCS screens to follow what is being done from the internet browser. Example: when Screen Sync mode is checked, when you jump to a new screen in the web browser remotely, the OCS will also jump to that same screen on its display.

 

Publish Pages from Web Designer

A Web Designer Application is a separate program that allows for larger published screen resolutions which are closer to that of a PC monitor. A Web Designer program does not include logic, I/O configuration, or communication protocols. The Hardware Configuration of the Web Designer program will show Series: Web Designer and Device Type: OCS Web Design + desired screen resolution. Using Web Designer means that there are now multiple application programs for the OCS including the main application and the Web Designer application.

The screen resolution will not match the resolution of the OCS controller, which is typically smaller. Publishing from a Web Designer program frees the developer to build screens without the limitations inherent with the lower resolution OCS screens.

 

Web Designer Models Configuration

Web Designer Models can be accessed through Hardware Configuration.

Home > Program > Hardware Configuration or through the Project Navigator

Select Web Designer in the from the Series box. Model options are listed below:

  • OCS Web Design 1024x768

  • OCS Web Design 1200x800

  • OCS Web Design 1920x1080

Note: The following graphics objects are not supported by WebMI:

  1. Note Object

  2. Trends – Standard Trend Type

  3. Video Object

  4. Recipes Object.

  5. Removable Media (Only A drive support is added).

  6. RCC models do not support Alarms and Trends Objects.

Ethernet Configuration - IP Parameters from Cscape Hardware Config / LAN Config

Open the Cscape Hardware Configuration window and verify that the Series and Device Type match the connected controller. Enter the desired network parameters in the Cscape Hardware Configuration/LAN Config.

For simplicity, the examples in this manual will show a local connection directly from PC to OCS. IP address 192.168.0.110 is used for the OCS IP. Hence, the PC IP address must be set on the same subnet, using an IP such as 192.168.0.x, where x is in the range of 1-254. Both subnet addresses should be set to 255.255.255.0.

 

Example OCS:

IP Address – 192.168.0.110

Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0

Gateway – 0.0.0.0

 

Example PC:

IP Address – 192.168.0.99

Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0

Gateway – 0.0.0.0

 

For OCS models with more than one Ethernet connection, these settings must be done on LAN1. Other OCS models have only one LAN port so this is not a concern.

Note: The OCS controller cannot open the door to make itself available to the World Wide Web; the path must be set in place for it. For connections that are to be accessed remotely, use an IP address as assigned by your IT staff or Internet Service Provider. There are also hardware solutions available from companies such as MB Connect, Secomea, Ewon, and others that can allow an OCS and WebMI functionality to be accessible from the internet. For more details, contact your local distributor.

 

Ethernet Configuration – IP Parameters

For primary operation the IP address, Net Mask, and Gateway should be set in the LAN config of the Cscape Hardware Configuration. There are options to get IP parameters from the LAN Config or to get parameters from registers. It is possible to set the Ethernet IP parameters from the OCS System Menu, but only as a temporary measure. The following points on IP parameter configuration should be considered.

 

IP Parameters in Non-Volatile RAM

OCS units with HMI Displays

Any IP parameter settings made in the system menu will be lost after cycling power to the unit. It will revert to the last downloaded Cscape LAN Config that was loaded into non-volatile or battery backed RAM.

 

Cscape LAN Config, Get Settings from – Configuration

When ‘Get settings from’ is set to Configuration, the IP parameters specified under ‘Default Settings’ is used after downloading to the controller. The IP parameters are represented in System Menu / Set Networks and can be edited. However, any edits made from System Menu/Set Networks are not retained through a power cycle. After power cycle, the unit reverts back to the last downloaded Cscape LAN Config that was loaded into non-volatile RAM at power down.

 

Cscape LAN Config, Get Settings from - Register

When ‘Get settings from’ is set to Register, the IP parameters are retrieved from the OCS registers assigned in LAN Config. Configured registers must be populated with the desired IP parameters.

  • The IP parameters are represented in System Menu/Set Networks

  • The IP Parameters cannot be edited from System Menu/Set Networks while the unit is in Run Mode.

  • The IP parameters always follow the values in the registers unless the OCS unit is placed in idle mode. Then the IP parameters can be edited in System Menu/Set Networks. When the OCS is placed back in Run Mode, it reverts to the registers for IP parameters.

 

Ethernet Configuration – FTPClosed FTP - File Transfer Protocol - A standard Client/Server Internet protocol, based on RFC959, which supports file transfers over a TCP/IP network.

In Cscape Hardware Configuration / LAN Config, check the box to enable FTP (File Server). With regard to WebMI, FTP is used to transfer published web page files to the OCS removable media card via Ethernet. While it is not essential to use FTP to transfer the web page files, FTP is a more convenient option when the network is properly configured. The alternative to FTP is to manually place the WebMI files on the removable media card directly from the PC, then remove the card from the PC and install into the OCS. More on this inPublish WebMI Pages Configuration

 

Home > Hardware Configuration > LAN1/2 > Config (button) > FTP > Configure Selected Protocol

When using FTP you must supply a User Name and Password in the FTP Configuration. For the examples in this document, we will use “admin” for User Name and Password.

Select Read/Write.

 

Level Based Access

OCS User Security

Level Based Access is a feature where a list of users can be created and configured with associated passwords and access levels. Graphic objects on the user screens can be configured to have an associated access level. This level will determine which users can interact with that screen object, based on their access level. Utilizing Level Based Access on screen objects is possible, but not a prerequisite to the implementation of WebMI. However, it is necessary for a WebMI application to configure at least one user in the User Security Configuration.

In a Web Designer application, the User Security Configuration is independent from the User Security Configuration in the main application. The User Security configurations between the main and the web designer do not have to match. Logins from the screen and from WebMI are monitored separately in the status registers. When opening the WebMI page in an internet browser on a completed system, a prompt to enter a User Name and Password will appear. A username and password assigned in the User Security Configuration must be used. (Not the FTP User Name and password).

In the Project Navigator, open the User Interface node and select Users and Security.

 

User Access Level Editor

Add a User

  • Highlight the existing “DefaultUser” line and click ‘Edit User’ or select the ‘Add User’ button to create a username, password and assign an access level. Here an access level of 0 was selected, which is the lowest level of access.

  • This is the User Name and Password that is entered later in the internet browser. Up to 255 Users at any of 8 access levels (0 to 7) can be configured. However, in WebMI the number of users possible may be limited depending on the license limitations.

  • For WebMI usage, username/password/access level must be configured as constants. They cannot be assigned as registers.

Status - Local Device Status

Status indicates who is logged in and for how long they have been logged in. The first 20 bytes (8-bit x 20) represent the user logged in directly from the OCS screen, not WebMI. The first 4 bytes show a running time of how long the user has been logged in. It is a double word viewed in DINT format. The remaining 16 bytes contain the logged in user name in ASCII format.

Example:

%R1000 + %R1001 = Running logged in Time (%R1000, format DINT)

%R1002 to %R1009 = Username. (%R1002 – 1009, format ASCII)

 

WebMI Support

When the WebMI Support box is checked an additional 80 bytes of status are added starting at the 11th word where the local device status leaves off. These 80 bytes show logged in WebMI users. Since four (4) connections are possible at a time, 80 bytes are used. The extra WebMI status is optional. WebMI does not require that the ‘WebMI Support’ box be checked.

Examples:

%R1010 to %R1019 - 1st connection/1st user, i.e., %R1010 + %R1011 = running time for 1st connection/user and %R1012 to %R1019 = 1st logged in username in ASCII format.

%R1020 to %R1029 - 2nd connection/2nd user, i.e., %R1020 + %R1021 = running time for 2nd connection/user and %R1022 to %R1029 = 2nd logged in username in ASCII format.

%R1030 to %R1039 - 3rd connection/3rd user, i.e., %R1030 + %R1031 = running time for 3rd connection/user and %R1032 to %R1039 = 3rd logged in username in ASCII format.

%R1040 to %R1049 - 4th connection/4th user, i.e., %R1040 + %R1041 = running time for 4th connection/user and %R1042 to %R1049 = 4th logged in username in ASCII format.

 

Timeout (Mins)

This specifies a timeout after which protected screen access mode will resume by logging out the user. The configurable Timeout range can be set from 1 to 60 minutes. After a Timeout occurs, objects on the OCS display screen that are set with level-based security cannot be manipulated until a user logs in again. In relation to WebMI, when the Timeout value is reached, the screen in the internet browser turns a shade darker and at the bottom of the screen the message “User Session Timed Out” appears. Upon Timeout, the WebMI pages are not accessible. To access the pages again, click the browser refresh button.

Web Options

Through the Project Navigator > User Interface > Web > Display/Validate License

 

Configure Web Options

The following window is displayed:

  • Set Web Page Title - This sets the text that will appear in the banner at the top of the web browser when a connection is made to the OCS WebMI Server. By default, it is set to Horner APG, LLC. Most OEMs/Users will want to change this to reflect their company name, or the name of the machine.

  • Connection Time Out interval (sec) - This is the key time-out interval in seconds agreed upon between the WebMI Client (JavaScript Applet) and the WebMI Server in the OCS. WebMI uses the standard HTTP or HTTPS port for compatibility purposes. Using a unique port would cause the connection to be rejected by some network security devices. This is a busy port, which means message delays can occur even on connections with solid bandwidthClosed The range of frequencies over which a system is designed to operate. The bandwidth is expressed in Hertz between the highest and lowest frequencies.. Because nuisance connection timeouts can be experienced, it is recommended that this value be set to at least 20 seconds.

  • Enable Screen Sync - For applications where the WebMI web pages are duplicates of screens in the OCS, this allows screen changes made remotely on the browser to cause screen changes locally on the OCS and vice-versa. This is analogous to the functionality you get with Windows Remote Desktop but with an OCS instead of a computer. Screen Sync is not available in a Web Designer application.

  • Inhibit Session Timeout - Use this option to inhibit a Session Timeout. The session will run indefinitely. This applies only to Session Timeout that is configured in the User Security Configuration. This is not related to a Connection Timeout that happens when internet connectivity is lost.

 

Advanced Web Options Settings

Selecting Advanced>>> options displays the following window:

Note:  Enable Sync Screen option is not available in Web Designer Models.

  • Keep Alive Interval (ms) - Keep Alive interval specifies at what rate the network heart beat is checked in msec. Heartbeat Messages ensure the browser connection remains active. Without a heartbeat message, mobile browsers will shut off the connection quickly to save bandwidthClosed The range of frequencies over which a system is designed to operate. The bandwidth is expressed in Hertz between the highest and lowest frequencies.. Default is 4000ms, after every four seconds the client checks for a reply from the device (OCS/Web Server) to confirm the network is up. If there is no reply after four seconds, then it will show a temporary disconnection in the network symbol on the web page. Data changes will not be reflected during this time. During this time, connection is not terminated, but after every four seconds the connection timeout count is checked.

  • Publish Interval (ms) - Publish Interval specifies the rate at which the variables will be updated in the web client (internet browser), which is also the delay in sending values to the OCS web server when edited from the browser. If set to the value of 0, publishing is event driven where the changes are reflected immediately. In almost all applications there is no reason to delay the transmission of these new values. So, setting the value to 0ms is recommended. The Publish Interval is unrelated and should not be confused with publishing web pages described later in this document.

  • Authentication Type - Digest and Basic authentication types are supported. Webserver uses the selected authentication for user login.

    • Digest Authentication - This authentication is more secure. Digest Authentication is the default setting.

    • Basic Authentication - This is less secure and should be used along with SSL connections or VPN

 

Inactivity Timeout

After the configured timeout (session timeout), "user session timed out" message appears and the message remains until user refreshes the page. Once refreshed, license agreement page appears.

Cscape to OCS Connection

Most controllers that support WebMI have the following options for connectivity with Cscape:

  • Serial - The default serial programming port is MJ1.

  • USB - Most controllers that support WebMI feature a Mini-B USB port for programming. No setting has to be made in the controller to make use of the Mini-B port for programming.

  • Ethernet - Refer to prior Ethernet Configuration sections and OCS hardware manual.

For more information on connecting to an OCS with Cscape, please refer to the specific OCS User Manual via the Documentation Search page on the Horner website.

While WebMI is an Ethernet based feature, it is not necessary to connect to the OCS controller via Ethernet to set up the WebMI feature. Any of the above connection methods may be used.

Keep in mind to transfer published WebMI files to the controller via FTP, an Ethernet connection does have to be established. By having this Ethernet connection established, one could connect to the OCS with Cscape via Ethernet if desired. If the Ethernet connection is already established, it then becomes easy to test the WebMI application in an internet browser. The OCS supports simultaneous connections to both Cscape and Internet browsers from the same LAN1 port.

 

Download

When the logic, protocols, screens, and hardware configuration are completed to satisfaction download the application to the OCS.

Program Checklist:

  1. A completed Ethernet setup in LAN1 configuration.

  2. FTP should be checked under Resident Protocols and User Name and Password assigned in the LAN1 configuration. (If FTP is to be used to transfer the WebMI pages).

  3. Password and User Name assigned in User Security Configuration.

  4. In the LAN Config, DO NOT check the HTTP (Web Server) protocol box. This is a separate feature that is not related or compatible with WebMI. Checking the HTTP Web Server protocol will cause WebMI to not work.

 

Verify the Ethernet Connection

After configuring the OCS Ethernet parameters, it is a good idea to open a command prompt on the PC and PingClosed A network diagnostic tool used primarily to test the connectivity between two nodes or devices. To ping a destination node, an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packet is sent to that node. If a connection is available, the destination node responds with an echo reply. Ping calculates the round-trip time of the data packet's route from its source to the destination and back and determines whether any packets were lost during the trip. the OCS to insure an Ethernet connection has been established. To do this, enter “cmd” into the Windows search bar and click on cmd.exe. The following window will appear, enter “Ping 192.168.0.110” (or the IP address of your OCS) and hit Enter.

If there is a successful connection established, the command will return a response such as “Reply from 192.168.0.110: bytes=32 time=1ms TLL=64”.

Applying the WebMI License to the OCS

The WebMI license file must be stored on a microSD card that is installed in the Horner OCS. There are two primary ways to transfer the file to the microSD card.

Note: Ensure that the OCS is set to the correct time and date. The time and date has to be the same or later than what is encoded in the license file.

 

Download License File from WebMI Licensing Portal

The license file needs to download to transfer manually. After obtaining a free or purchased WebMI license from the Horner WebMI website, the license file may be downloaded. This is an encrypted file that contains license details including the MAC ID of the intended OCS of which to apply the license. The content of this file should not be edited. Editing the content of the file will invalidate the file. The original filename is different for every license and includes the MAC ID of the licensed device. Example filename: WebMILicense-00E0C404c625.

Note: If you have already executed the steps to obtain a free Evaluation license or applied a license by using a voucher number from the Cscape graphic editor, you have already transferred the license file to the removable media card in the controller.

 

Transfer the License File Manually

The license file needs to download to transfer manually. After obtaining a free or purchased WebMI license from the Horner WebMI website, the license file may be downloaded. This is an encrypted file that contains license details including the MAC ID of the intended OCS of which to apply the license. The content of this file should not be edited. Editing the content of the file will invalidate the file. The original filename is different for every license and includes the MAC ID of the licensed device. Example filename: WebMILicense-00E0C404c625.

 

Transfer the License File to the microSD Card Manually

First rename the file. The filename should be renamed to FIRMWARE.LIC . Copy and paste or drag and drop the newly renamed FIRMWARE.LIC file onto the root directory of a microSD card installed in the PC. Then it is just a matter of removing the microSD card from the PC and installing it into the OCS controller whose MAC ID was used to set up the license. There are no further steps to be taken for manually transferring the license file. If there are multiple OCS units on site to be licensed, it is recommended to organize the license files so that they are easily paired with the correct OCS.

 

Let Cscape Transfer the File

Establish a connection from Cscape to the controller via serial, USB, or Ethernet. The PC running Cscape must be connected to the internet. An Ethernet connection from Cscape to the OCS is technically not required to transfer the license file. The connection can be serial or USB. However, an Ethernet connection is required later if transferring files via FTP and to test the WebMI feature. A common arrangement is to have the PC LAN port set up to talk to the OCS on its own subnet while the wireless connection on the PC is set to access the Internet.

Alternately the PC and OCS can be on the same subnet with access to the broader network, which would negate the need for two separate Ethernet subnets. To do this typically requires that your IT department or internet service provider issue an IP address for the OCS.

 

Verify the WebMI License File Transfer

To verify that the license file has been transferred to the microSD card installed on the Horner controller, enter the System Menu on the unit and select Removable Media. The file FIRMWARE.LIC should be present. License Details can also be selected from the System Menu.

Images below: System Menu > Removable Media and System Menu > License Details

Alternately, WebMI status and license details can be viewed in system registers %SR209 and %SR218-222. The system registers are conveniently viewed in Cscape/Data Watch for RCC controllers that do not have displays.

WebMI Status Registers

%SR209.3

WebMI server status. Bit 3 is ON if server running.

%SR209.4

WebMI user logged in status. Bit 4 in ON if 1 or more users logged in.

%SR209.9 to %SR209.16

Number of Users. Shows in upper byte in decimal format.

%SR218

Number of Webpages, license detail.

%SR219

Publish WebMI Pages

See also: Web Options

See also: User Access Level Editor

 

Create Wepages

Publish WebMI Pages Configuration

To publish WebMI Pages is to trigger Cscape to convert the user-created screens into HTML5 based web pages and save those pages to the PC hard drive. A secondary step included in the publishing process is to transfer the published pages via FTP over Ethernet to the OCS/microSD.

Publishing does not technically require that Cscape be connected to the OCS controller and does not require that the OCS be connected to the PC via Ethernet. However, by default Cscape expects that both of these connections are made prior to publishing. To avoid ‘No Connection’ warnings and extra steps, it is more efficient to establish an Ethernet connection to the OCS with FTP configured and be connected to the OCS with Cscape by any of the connection methods: serial, USB, or Ethernet.

WebMI options can be accessed under web of Project Navigator.

Selecting Publish Web Site, opens the following window:

The Select FTP Target dialog pops up first. Enter the IP address assigned in the OCS controller. The default Target Folder is \WebMI, which should be left as is. Enter the User name and Password that is setup in the FTP configuration in Home > Controller > Hardware Configure > LAN Config.

Select OK after making the configuration, the progress bar appears where in SVG files are created.

Now that the WebMI files have been published, you have two options for transferring the files to the Web Server (the OCS controller). You can transfer files via FTP, or you can manually transfer the files. Cscape now asks if you would like to transfer the files to the Web Server via FTP. Click Yes to continue or if manual transfer is desired click No to cancel the operation.

After the files are created, the following message box appears:

Selecting Yes publishes website if proper user access (i.e., constants) is configured in user access configuration.

The dialog box closes itself after publish.

If user access is configured as registers then the following error message appears:

After website is published, asks for FTP the files to the server.

 

Manual File Transfer

After encoding the SVG files for use with WebMI the web pages are now published, but not yet sent to the OCS/microSD. Cscape automatically places published files in the Windows My Documents folder at this default location shown below.

Webpage SVG File Location: C:\Users\User name\AppData\Local\Cscape\Instance001\Program001\Cscape\SVGExport and Cscape\

To transfer the files manually, install the microSD card into the PC. Copy the WebMI folder and paste it into the root directory of the microSD card. Then remove the microSD card from the PC and install it into the OCS controller.

 

Use FTP to Transfer Files

When Cscape asks ‘Would you like to FTP these files to the Web Server?’ click ‘Yes’. Cscape will then transfer the files via FTP.

See Below: FTP progress of a test program containing one screen. A larger program with several configured screens will have more files to transfer.

Return to the Top: WebMI Manual

 

Launch Web Site

To launch the website from the OCS Web Server enter the IP address of the OCS in the address field of a web browser such as Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox. If you can Ping the OCS from your PC then you have a valid Ethernet connection and should be able to launch the page. Alternately you can launch the OCS Web Server from Project navigator > web > Browse web site.

When you first type in the IP Address of your OCS in your web browser or launch from Cscape, a connection procedure is initiated.

Step 1: Go to Project navigator > web > Browse web site.

Step 2: User Name and Password credentials are requested and authenticated. These are the credentials you created in the User Security Configuration. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access the web pages and allows different access levels to be granted to users of different capability.

Selecting Browse Web Site opens the web pages in default browser and asks for user credentials. Give the user credentials configured in Cscape > Project Navigator > User and Security.

Step 3: After giving the correct user credentials, clicking on OK takes to License agreement page where user needs to accept the license and then continue to view the pages.

The WebMI Usage License is accepted by the user. With a basic connection now established – the WebMI server in the OCS “serves up” graphics information along with a JavaScript Applet which runs on the browser as a WebMI Client. This provides the browser with everything it needs to know in order to draw the default OCS web page. The WebMI Client (JavaScript Applet running on the browser) and WebMI Server (running on the OCS) agree upon a connection timeout. This is the value that is set in Cscape: Connection Time Out interval (sec)

Step 4: The WebMI Client and WebMI Server go into data communications mode – where only the following messages are exchanged over the network – saving bandwidth:

  • Current OCS data values for each of the Read/Only and Read/Write objects on the web page, requested by the WebMI Client running in the browser and provided by the WebMI Server on the OCS.

  • Heartbeat Messages – Ensure the browser connection remains active.

  • Without heartbeat messages – Mobile browsers will shut off the connection quickly to save bandwidth. This interval at which heartbeats are sent is set in Cscape as the Keep Alive Interval (ms).

  • Changed data values for Read/Write objects, transmitted by the WebMI Client on the browser to the WebMI Server on the OCS. These are typically sent on a change of state basis as the user clicks buttons and updates data objects on the web page. The interval can be delayed by setting the Publish Interval (ms) parameter in Cscape to a non-zero value, but this is not recommended.

Note:  

  1. License Agreement page will not be displayed if there are no user editable fields in the WebMI project.

  2. If editable fields are configured in WebMI project, then License Agreement page will be displayed only once i.e., once user accepts the license first project page will be displayed, again if same user logs in then License Agreement page will not be displayed and directly first project page will be displayed.

 

Launching Web Pages from Any Browser

Open any web browser (IE, Chrome, Mozilla, Safari etc) from any device (iOS devices, android devices, windows devices etc). Give the IP address of the device (Same as FTP Target IP) on the address bar, once web browser connects to the device it asks for user credentials. Give the user credentials and follow the procedure from Step 3 as explained above.

Any changes made in the website will be reflected on the device and vice versa.

Publish to Removable Media

Publish to Removable Media can be accessed under web of project navigator

The following windows will be displayed:

Browse the folder/removable media to copy the web pages. Once path is selected, click on OK. Progress bar window for exporting and publishing pages will be displayed. Once Web pages are copied to removable media, the following message will be displayed.

Return to the Top: WebMI Manual

 

Import Tags

User will have to import tags before publishing (FTPing) web pages when using Web designer models for IEC and Advanced ladder with tags editor.

Select WebMI > Publish Website for Web designer models of IEC/Advanced ladder with tags editor.

  • FTP Target IP - IP address of the device that is configured in Hardware Configuration.

  • Target Folder - This is the default folder where HTTP pages / SVG files are created in SD Card.

  • Username - Username configured for FTP in Hardware Configuration

  • Password - Password configured for FTP in Hardware Configuration.

Select OK after the configuration, the following progress bar appears where in SVG files are created.

After the files are created, the following message box appears.

Selecting Yes publishes website if proper user access (i.e., constants) is configured in user access configuration.

If user access is configured as registers then the following error message appears:

Selecting Yes displays the following window if tags are not imported before publishing website.

Click on Ok. Select Edit > Import Tags from graphics editor window.

The following window will be displayed. Configure the Network ID and select OK.

Once selected OK, the following window will be displayed.

After tags are imported, the following window will be displayed.

Again select WebMI > Publish Website to publish the web pages to removable media. Select the Browse Website to visit page.

Limitations of Retentive Trend Type

Not Supported

  1. Retrieval of historic data may be delayed depending on the amount of data being retrieved.

  2. Retrieval of historic data may be slow depending on the speed of internet being used.

  3. For supporting retentive trends user need to configure the same register with logging in the OCS downloaded program.

  4. Retentive trend has to be configured on OCS in order to be displayed on the WebMI :

    1. Pens has to match

    2. Time base (start & stop): any

    3. Sampling rate: preferable same, but if different sample rates are configured, then OCS should be equal or higher sample rate compared to WebMI

    3. Sampling rate: preferable same, but if different sample rates are configured, then OCS should be equal or higher sample rate compared to WebMI

 

Potential Problems with Trend Properties

Potential problems with using Continuous and Snapshot scope Objects in Horner WebMI:

The scope objects, although available in the Horner WebMI system need special consideration.

Problems in using these objects stem from the fact that the sample period can be set very low – as low as 10ms. The objects are updated by transferring values from the OCS running the WebMI system to the browser displaying the trend at the rate required, however there are a number of problems which can occur which would cause the update rate to be unachievable.

These problems would include:

  1. Intermittent Web connection – for example where the connection is dropping many packets between OCS and browser.

  2. High Latency connections – for example GPRS modem connections where packets can take 20 seconds or more to travel from OCS to browser.

  3. OCS is in a high load situation – for example running logic with a very long scan time, or while displaying objects with high processor overheads such as the scope objects themselves or video objects

Typically a system suffering from this problem would show a trend similar to the following:

Here the first half of the trend is filled whilst the OCS was running a very processor intensive graphics screen, and at the midpoint changed to much simpler graphics display.

 

Ways to counteract the problems

  1. Consider whether the scope objects are really applicable in the application. Is it really useful to have a trace of what happened to a set of values over a very short period at a remote location.

  2. Select one of the other (standard/retentive) trend objects with much higher sample periods.

  3. Reduce the sample rate of the scope type trends in use.

  4. Increase the graphics time slice to as close to 50ms as the application will allow

  5. Avoid multiple simultaneous browser connections to the device where possible

 

Limitations on Alarms Object

  1. Alarm text on Web designer models are replaced by alarm text of Cscape program that is downloaded to unit.

  2. Alarm text on Web browser will not be readable if scaling of alarm object is not proper – Expected aspect ratio is 4:3. NOTE: User must take care to configure alarm object such that the alarm object is big enough to show the entire alarm text and acknowledge status.

  3. Acknowledge All (Ack All), Clear (Clr) and Clear All (Clr All) states are not supported in Web browser.

Note: For WebMI, Horner is using an independent JPEG group library for JPEG conversion.
