REMOTE CONTROL AND MONITORING
A set of input and output registers are available to monitor and control the web guide controller remotely
using industrial ethernet communication such as EtherNet/IP or PROFINET. The remote control and
monitoring is available for advanced end users, OEMs and integrators to seamlessly integrate the web guide
controller into their existing machine. For more information about these advanced features please consult the
factory. It is possible to control/operate the web guide controller without an operator interface and directly
using the industrial ethernet connection. The following section describes the advanced settings for industrial
communication.
EtherNet/IP Connection Parameters
Starting from version 3.6 two different ethernet modules (HMS and Hilscher) are used. An appropriate EDS
file may be used to import the module in the PLC. In case a manual setup is performed then the following
information may be used to set the module as a generic EtherNet/IP module in the PLC.

PROFINET Connection Parameters

NOTE: For PROFINET systems the 16-bit data from the controller are split into two bytes and byte swapped.
The register map shown below is how the 16-bit data is stored in the sensor and sent out through the
ethernet network. The PROFINET PLC might read the data in little endian format with the least significant byte
first. So the 16-bit data from the sensor would need to be byte swapped to read the correct 16-bit value.
EtherCAT Connection Parameters
Ethernet module configuration value based on the supplied ECS File. The EtherCAT master will set all the
information automatically based on the FMMU setting in the ECS file. The information provided is only for
reference.
