Welcome to HTML Code Generator!

Introduction:

Welcome to the HTML Code Generator (HCG) and Applet generation Utility V 1.0 for

the Simatic IT Modules: CP 443-1 IT, CP 343-1 IT, CP 243-1 IT. With this program,

any user can generate web pages quickly and effectively for the Simatic IT Module

family. The focus is on the use of the S7 Applets, which are part of the CP file system.

We have up to 4 possible applets and multiple combinations of them. The 4 main applets

are the S7 Get (get data from PLC), S7 Put (write/put data to PLC), S7 Ident

(Identification), and S7 Status (Status of module in rack). For the most part, the

generation process creates the HTML and applet code automatically. But, if necessary,

you can refer to the manual for the IT CP’s to make code changes or find further

information which is located on Siemens customer support website at:

http://www4.ad.siemens.de/view/cs/en/16832609

You can also use this program to change the HTML Code to build your own web pages

and use the utility as a helpful tool to learn about the applets.

Software Requirements

Operating Systems tested: Windows 98SE, NT, 2000 and XP.

Internet Explorer (4.02 or higher) tested 6.0 + Sp1.

Microsoft Java VM or Sun Java (1.4.1 or higher)

The Microsoft Java VM is no longer downloadable on Microsoft’s website, but can be

obtained through many 3 rd party sites by searching on the web.

Latest File system for IT Cp’s, which can be downloaded from:

http://www4.ad.siemens.de/WW/view/en/19000429 //200 file system 2.5.3

http://www4.ad.siemens.de/WW/view/en/19026376 //300 file system 2.5.3

http://www4.ad.siemens.de/WW/view/en/18644576 //400 file system 2.5.3

This program requires Internet Explorer version 4.02 or higher.

V 6.0 + SP1 or greater is recommended!

Hardware Requirements

Cp 243-1 IT or Cp 343-1 IT or Cp 443-1 IT with latest firmware (latest firmware

available on customer support website.) It might be necessary to reformat the file

system of the IT CP. Read the firmware instructions carefully for this information)

Comments or suggestions on the HTML Code Generator can be submitted to the

hotline e-mail address: Simatic.Hotline@sea.siemens.com with ATTN: HTML Code

Generator in the subject line. We can’t make any promises that we will be able to

grant all requests or follow up on all comments, but will try our best! All ideas for

the HTML code generator will become SE&A property.

Current Features:

Generation of HTML and Applet code for the 200/300/400 IT Module family

CP 443-1 IT, CP 343-1 IT, CP 243-1 IT using the built in applets S7 Get, S7 Put, S7

Ident and S7 Status.

You can use the built-in Ident and Status page on the S7 200 if necessary.

Applets can be adjusted to support almost all of the different features such as applet

color, data areas, data types, symbolic access, graphical display, and multi-read with S7-

Get.

Note: The generator cannot currently create a multi-variable Put.

Generated Pages can be printed directly to the printer and/or saved to local files.

Generated Pages can also be saved directly to the IT Modules via the built in FTP

functionality and be displayed automatically by Internet Explorer using a hotkey (hit

Shift key while pressing the Transfer button).

If selected, the utility can create a HTML page structure with a main index page and sub-

index for all of the applets created in the HTML Code Generation sessions.

Warning!

If you select to use the Index feature, be forewarned that this will overwrite the existing

index page! An example of using the index / sub-index feature is located on the last page

of the manual. This should not be a problem, because the links to the standard page can

still be used by selecting your IT Cp version from the menu bar, on the HCG index page.

(200,300, or 400). See last page for example.

The file system can always be restored if necessary. If you have files on the CP which

you don’t want to be overwritten, please back up all files beforehand.

See the information above in the software requirements section.

This manual covers the different screens and functions of the HTML Code Generator

program and explains how to use them.
