M2M Magazine published a story yesterday about Rockwell's introduction of new web-capable module called EWEB. The EWEB module enables users to view plant-floor data via web pages, receive alarm notifications via e-mail, and share system data with external applications using XML. The product, which can also be used as a communication module, supports bridging of EtherNet/IP messages to and from the controller.

From the EWEB datasheet:

"In the past, users required additional software loaded on remote computers to view control information from a manager's office or other remote location. With the EWEB module, users can view control information anywhere, anytime from a standard Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer - allowing greater accessibility and collaboration of information from the shop floor to the top floor."
