Web server
Thanks to the integrated Web server, the device can be operated and configured via a Web
browser and via a service interface (CDI-RJ45) or a WLAN interface. The structure of the
operating menu is the same as for the local display. In addition to the measured values,
status information on the device is also displayed and allows the user to monitor the status
of the device. Furthermore the measuring device data can be managed and the network
parameters can be configured. The WLAN connection requires a device that acts as an
access point to enable communication via a computer or mobile handheld terminal.
Supported functions
Data exchange between the operating unit (such as a notebook for example) and the
measuring device:
– Uploading the configuration from the measuring device (XML format, configuration
backup)
– Save the configuration to the measuring device (XML format, restore configuration)
– Export event list (.csv file)
– Export parameter settings (.csv file, create documentation of the measuring point
configuration)
– Export the Heartbeat verification log (PDF file, only available with the "Heartbeat
Verification" application package)
– Flash firmware version for device firmware upgrade, for instance
HistoROM
data management
The measuring device features HistoROM data management. HistoROM data management
comprises both the storage and import/export of key device and process data, making
operation and servicing far more reliable, secure and efficient.
When the device is delivered, the factory settings of the configuration data are stored
as a backup in the device memory. This memory can be overwritten with an updated
data record, for example after commissioning.
