1. General Information
Manual INOWEB Control
INOWEB Module
The INOWEB module was developed to allow an existing Ethernet network to monitor INOTEC
central battery systems. This module can retrieve data from the CPS system and display control
commands. The data is shown as HTML pages and can be seen in an ordinary web browser
(Explorer, Mozilla, Opera, etc). There is the option of either setting a permanent IP address for
each INOWEB module or of assigning an IP address via a DHCP server. Selection of a particular
module in the browser is done by entering an IP address in the address box.
INOWEB Control Software
National and international standards require that central battery units have to undergo a (daily)
functional test and that these tests have to be recorded in a log book. In order to automatically
meet these requirements, the INOWEB Control Software can be installed on a PC with Ethernet
access. This software centrally monitors and controls up to 32 INOWEB modules. When the
software is installed, monitoring will start in the background. A small icon in the taskbar shows
the current status of the entire system. By double clicking on the icon in the taskbar you open
the main screen of the software. The INOWEB Control Software is activated automatically at
start-up. It offers the following features:
1. Set time for function test and start test
2. Set time for operation duration test (endurance test) and start test
3. Log book
4. Automatic sending of emails
2. Block Diagram for Systems with INOWEB Monitoring
The INOWEB Control Software can monitor up to 32 INOWEB modules per network.

5. INOWEB Control Software
Manual INOWEB Control
The software is started automatically with the operating system and monitors the modules in
the background. In the network, the software establishes a connection with each logged on
INOWEB module and shows the overall result in the form of an icon in the taskbar. The icon can
have 3 different colours.
- green:
All modules are ready without any malfunctions or
special modes
- red:
An online module shows a malfunction
- yellow:
An online module is in a special mode
6. Main window
A double click on the icon
in the taskbar opens the
main window of the
software.
In the main window up to 32 IP addresses can be entered.
With a double click:
- on a window in the column „IP“, the following boxes with open
• if the box “IP Processing Dialogue” is empty (see 6.1)
• for an IP, the action dialogue ( see 6.3)
- a box with a coloured background will open in the internet browser showing the IP or the
name of the selected module saved in the DNS (see 9).

6.1 IP Settings
Manual INOWEB Control
When this box appears, you can enter an IP or a DNS name
in the chart.
To complete the entered information, you have to indicate
whether it is for a main unit or a subunit. (For a CPS subunit,
click on the main device in the list!). This is important to
coordinate the operation duration test. Main unit and
subunit MUST be put together in groups!
After entering the IP, the status will be permanently updated and shown in the table in colour
and text.

After each function test the status of each module will be loaded and saved as an
HTML page (max. 1000!). These can be scrolled through in the log book form (see no. 8.)

6.4.2 System Time, Interval for Status Updating and Log Book (LB) Window
The first window shows the current system time. This is only for your information.
Status updating can be done in intervals selected by the user. The time interval is shown in
“minutes”.
In the log book window it can be selected whether a log book entry shall be saved as a HTML
page after an automatic function test (see 8). The default setting is “Yes”.
6.4.3 Email Window
Current status information and the time of the of the next function test and operation duration
test are collected and can be forwarded in an automatic email. Emails can either be sent daily
or in an interval defined by the user.
The SMTP server, the sender and all recipients are shown.
A double click on the icon takes you to the configuration dialogue (see 7).
6.4.4 Automatic Function Test (FT) Window
In the window function test the settings for the automatic function test are entered. This can
either be done daily or in user-defined intervals, i.e. all connected devices will run a function
test at the programmed date and time. The time interval is set in “days”. The automatic
function test will always be followed by, if not set otherwise in 6.4.2, a new log book entry for
all systems (see 8).
6.4.5 Automatic Operation duration test (ODT) Window
In the operation duration test window the time for the automatic operation duration test is
set. This can either be done monthly or in a user-defined interval, i. e. all connected devices will
run a continuous operating test at the programmed date and time. The time interval is set in
“months”.
To set the date and time for the first operation duration test (ODT) you can set a starting date
in the calendar box. Setting the date:
- < today...invalid setting
- = today...first operation duration test (ODT) is set with the monthly interval
- > today...first operation duration test (ODT) is set for the selected day.
The new starting date will be saved after pressing .
7. Configuration Dialogue Email
Configuration of the SMTP
server for your outgoing
messages. For this
information ask your internet
provider or LAN administrator.
(as of INOWEBc Version 1.0.2)
When this box is tagged, an
automatic email will be sent in
the event of a major system
error (network failure or
loading errors). The subject
line in this email will show the
message “INOTEC-
IMPORTANT MESSAGE!”
After setting up the email
account, the settings can be
verified. A double click on the
small email icon at the bottom
of the screen will send a test email. When the email is sent without problems, this connection
information will appear in the “Status” window at the top right corner of the screen.

8. Log Book (LB)
As described in no. 7.4.3, a log book entry in the form of an HTML page will be saved after each
automatic function test (FT) (if no other settings were made). A maximum of 1000 entries can be
made per module.
All IPs/modules in the chart will be listed at the bottom of the window when the log book
window is opened. If you select a module address per mouse click, the most recent log book
entry will be shown. The number and the total number of entries will be shown and you can
scroll through them using the arrow keys.

9. INOWEB Module
Manual INOWEB Control
To be able to see the CPS device
status on an HTML page, you need an
ordinary web browser, e.g. Internet
Explorer, Mozilla, Opera or Konqueror.
Selection of the respective INOWEB is
done by entering the IP address in the
address line of the web browser.
If access is secured by a password, this
will be asked for prior to the first
loading of the page. The user name is
always WEBUSER. The user will be
logged onto the INOWEB module
until the window is closed.
The main window shows the system
with destination, status, current and
voltage and the status of the
individual circuits.
Additional features for the user via the
webpage are:
- start function test
- lock device
- unlock device
- manual reset
- reset (reload configuration)
- print error message
After clicking on a circuit transfer (SKU
with individual monitoring) the lights
and their status will be shown. Lights
shown in red means there is an error,
green is ok. The destinations are
shown when the mouse pointer is
moved onto the respective light. After
a moment, the destination text will
appear below the pointer. As the text
has to be uploaded from the device,
the destination will be shown after a
short delay.
The picture of the circuits and circuit
monitoring does not show the
individual lights, only the actual and
desired current parameters are shown.

Manual INOWEB Control
A print of an error is done via the
printing feature of the web
browser. Opening the page from
the main screen will take a few
seconds, as the respective
information has to be obtained
from the device first. Via the
menu File � Print, the page can
then be printed.
