The multifunctional FP-I4C unit allows you to access FP Series PLCs via Ethernet networks
(Intranet and Internet) for data exchange.
Access can be carried out by a computer and a standard browser, such as MS Internet
Explorer Mozilla, Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari or Opera, by specifying the target
unit's IP address, which can be changed. The HTML page can be generated with standard
tools or HMWIN Studio.
