Web Server

Introduction

The TM3 bus coupler supports a web server, offering easy access to information such as configuration data, module status, I/O data, network statistics, and diagnostic information. All of this vital information is available using a simple web browser.

In addition the web server allows you to monitor this information, the bus coupler network and I/O remotely.

You can access the Web server with HTTPS (secure connections). HTTP (non secured connections) is not supported.

The Web server is accessible through the bus coupler USB port and Ethernet port by specifying the IP address or hostname in the address bar. You can use the pages of the Web server for network setup and control the I/O module outputs as well as application diagnostics and monitoring. These pages are ready to use with a Web browser. No configuration or programming is required.

Any PC providing a USB (host) port and/or an Ethernet interface can connect to the Web server by using a Web browser.

The Web server can be accessed by the web browsers listed below:

oMicrosoft Internet Explorer (version ≥ 11)

oGoogle Chrome (version ≥ 71)

oMozilla Firefox (version ≥ 64)

oMicrosoft Edge (version ≥ 42)

The Web server allows you to monitor a bus coupler remotely, to perform various maintenance activities including modifications to output modules data and network configuration parameters. Care must be taken to ensure that the immediate physical environment of the machine and process is in a state that will not present safety risks to people or property before exercising control remotely.

WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

oDefine a secure password for the Web server, and do not allow unauthorized or otherwise unqualified personnel to use this feature.

oEnsure that there is a local, competent, and qualified observer present when operating on the controller from a remote location.

oYou must have a complete understanding of the application and the machine/process it is controlling before attempting to adjust data, stopping an application that is operating, or starting the controller remotely.

oTake the precautions necessary to assure that you are operating on the intended controller by having clear, identifying documentation within the controller application and its remote connection.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

NOTE: The Web server must only be used by authorized and qualified personnel. A qualified person is one who has the skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the machine and the process controlled by the application and its installation, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this feature.

Web Server Access

You can manage the user accounts on the Web server on MAINTENANCE / User Accounts.

By default, the user name is Administrator, and the password is Administrator. You must change the password at the first login.

WARNING

UNAUTHORIZED DATA ACCESS

oDo not expose the device or device network to public networks and the Internet as much as possible.

oImmediately change the default password to a new secure password.

oDo not distribute passwords to unauthorized or otherwise unqualified personnel.

oRestrict access to unauthorized personnel.

oUse additional security layers like VPN for remote access and install firewall mechanisms.

oValidate the effectiveness of these measurements regularly and frequently.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

NOTE: A secure password is one that has not been shared or distributed to any unauthorized personnel and does not contain any personal or otherwise obvious information. Further, a mix of upper and lower case letters and numbers offer greater security. You should choose a password length of at least ten characters.

Resetting the Password
