2.2 FP-I4C block diagram
This block diagram shows the relation between the interfaces, protocols and functions of the
FP-I4C. The heart of the FP-I4C is the possibility to use different protocols for each interface
and functions. The log feature and the FTP data transmission feature are able to store data
on the internal memory (and on a USB stick). To share the interfaces within the FP-I4C,
localhost is used (e.g. for the HMWIN Studio features, HTML pages with PLC data…).
