Web Page Editor

You design web pages using the UniLogic Web Page editor. The principles of design are identical to those of designing an HMI screen. The webserver supports User Controls and many of the widgets that also appear in the HMI toolbox, plus hyperlinks. In addition, Web Elements offer additional actions, such as the ability to download files located on the controller's SD card, either via the Hyperlink element, or using the Hyperlink option in element Actions.

Note that widgets in web pages are configured in similar fashion to HMI Elements: HE
