Transferring Web Pages to the

.LON 1000

using FTP

Following the steps in Chapters 1 and 2, you created a fully functional L

ORKS

network. As network variables change, the

.LON 1000 receives updates for each

connection defined in step 4k above.

The next step is to create a web page that allows those network variable values to be
viewed in a standard web browser.

a) The following three sample web pages display the network variables defined on the

virtual functional block created in step 4: demo1page1.htm, demo1page2.htm
and demo1page3.htm.

The pages are located in the iLON Starter Kit.Zip archive.

demo1Page1.htm

is the simplest page. It is intended to display the values of the

network variables using the minimum HTML possible.

demo1Page2.htm

displays identical information, but places the network variables

in an HTML table.

Finally, demo1Page3.htm uses JavaScript to reload the HTML page every second
and presents an animated user interface with a slide bar to control the setpoint.

b) Recall the FTP user name and password you defined in step 2c. Using a standard

FTP program such as CuteFTP (

http://www.cuteftp.com

), AbsoluteFTP

(

http://www.vandyke.com

), or even the command line FTP client that ships

with Windows, transfer demo1page1.htm and demo1page2.htm to the

.LON

1000

. Place the files in the /Web/forms directory. Note that

.LON 1000 file and

directory names are case sensitive.

See your TCP/IP system administrator for help
using FTP if you are not familiar with transferring
files in a TCP/IP network.

Assuming that demo1Page1.htm and demo1Page2.htm are located at the root of
C:\

your ftp log should look something like this:

C:\>ftp 10.1.0.170

Connected to 10.1.0.170.
