These user defined pages reside on both controllers and can be accessed
from their IP addresses. They show an overview of the controllers.
Available “plotter” data is: the CPU state, the count of active alarms, the
program state and the motor temperature.

The user defined page “CONTROL” offers the capability to change the
length and speed of the movement. The picture “Profil_01.PNG” defines
each value.
With the START and STOP buttons, the movement of both axes is
controlled. The user defined page “STATE” shows the current process
values.
The button “Simulate drive error” is doing just that. A drive error is triggered
which stops both axes. Additionaly the standard web page
“Messages&Logs” will show the drive’s error details. Here you can
acknowledge any error message with the “quit” button.
