Overview
The CP600-WEB Control Panels of ABB provide an ideal solution to represent the CoDeSys in built vi-
sualization of PLCs on a brilliant touch screen.
The MicroBrowser of the CP600-WEB Control Panels reflects directly the variables and pictures created
in the CoDeSys visualization which are integrated and downloaded to the webserver of the PLC. No sep-
arate programming tool for the Control Panel is needed. The screens are programmed inside the PLC
programming tool CoDeSys and downloaded to the PLC webserver.
The startup procedure of the CP600-WEB panels is explained in chapter “First Steps”, page 6.
The CoDeSys visualization can access every variable of the PLC program without any synchronization
tool. The range of features reaches from normal buttons, meter instruments, trends and histograms, inte-
gration of graphic files, alarm handling, dynamic language change, user right management and program-
mability of objects up to excecution of special internal programs like changeover to another PLC, exit the
program or change passwords. To see all supported features by the MicroBrowser on the CP600-WEB
Control Panel refer to chapter “Supported Features”, page 9.
The combination of a CP600-WEB Control Panel and an AC500 PLC with integrated webserver linked
together via Ethernet gives an easy and professional graphical interface to the AC500 PLC. Depending
on the type of AC500 up to 12 CP600-WEB Control Panels can access the AC500 webserver at a time.
The built-in 2-port-Ethernet-switch of some CP600-WEB Control Panels makes an additional switch un-
necessary while programming and testing or connecting more than one Control Panel to the AC500.
A short introduction of how to configure the AC500 to create an accessible visualization via the webserver
is given in chapter “Configuration of an AC500 visualization”, page 21.
