Establishing a connection to the Web-based Management (WBM):

  • Open a web browser on your computer.
  • In the address field, enter the URL https://<IP-address-of-the-controller>/wbm,
    for example: https://192.168.1.10/wbm.

For further information, see WBM.

 

Note: Initial access to the WBM

For secure communication, the web server of the device uses a self-signed TLS certificate automatically generated by the device. When you first access the WBM, the TLS certificate is not known to your web browser. Therefore, a security warning opens in the web browser, even though it is a secure connection.

  • Allow the connection in your web browser.

To not receive a security warning when accessing the WBM in the future, you must download the certificate to your PC and add it as a trusted certificate to the web browser. 

 

  • Open the General Data page (Device → General Data). 
  • Check whether you are working on the correct device:
    • PLCnext Control AXC F 2152 , Order No. 2404267
    • Serial No. as printed on the device
    • Firmware version: Always use the latest certified version. You can find this in the IEC 62443-4-2 compliance list. 
    • Hardware version: Information on the hardware version can be found in the topic of the respective PLCnext Control.
