during manufacturing. If the WEB option is not installed, the following features are not enabled.

us values present in the module’s internal database to a Web

browser. The pages presented can be those built into the module or custom
designed by the user. Additionally, Web pages can be constructed to alter (write)
the values contained in the module’s database.
An FTP server is present to handle file operations controlled from a remote
computer on the network.
