User Provided Pages

You can use a text editor to generate up to eight user-provided web pages. Each
page is stored in four consecutive ASCII files of the MicroLogix 1400 controller.
The channel configuration feature of RSLogix™ 500/RSLogix Micro (version
8.10 or later) allows you to select the starting file number and the number of user
pages to be stored, as shown in the following example:

RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro (version 8.10 or later) also allows you to import an
HTML file from your PC to specified ASCII files in the MicroLogix 1400
controller. See page 42 for details.

HTML Pages Referencing Other Pages/Servers - following are some basic considerations
when referencing other pages or servers:
· reference User Specified Pages in the MicroLogix 1400 controller by using
the names user1.htm through user8.htm
· to reference a page on the same controller, specify a URL such as /user2.htm

Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM002E-EN-P - June 2019 39

Chapter 7 User Provided Pages

· to reference a page on another processor, specify a URL such as

http://www.xxx.yyy.zzz/user2.htm, where www.xxx.yyy.zzz is the IP address
of the controller
· you can reference other WWW servers and display images from other
sources without affecting your usage of data table memory (except for the
size of the HTTP reference)

Referencing Data Table Memory - reference data table memory locations by

placing custom tags into your HTML source which specify the data table
location and optional formatting information. Use the following format for the
custom tag:
<!ABDTR-file_type{file_number}:{file_element}[,#elements][%format]>
The items surrounded by {} are sometimes optional. The items surrounded by []
are always optional.

You must always specify the basic file reference. Depending on which file is being
referenced, file_number or file_element may be defaulted. If the file_type is I, O or
S, the file_number does not need to be specified, but the file_element must be
specified. If the file_type is not one of the three special files, the file_number must
be specified and the file_element may default to zero (the input, output, and status
files have fixed file numbers).

When defining your custom tag, consider the following:

Tag Item Description

#elements If not specified, this defaults to one. If it is less than one, it also defaults to
one. Each element is output using the same format (whether specified with
%format or defaulted).
%format Legal values are %d for decimal and %x for hexadecimal. The following file
types allow the format to be specified
· Input · Timer
· Output · Counter
· Status · Control
· Integer ·Long
Display format Input and Output file elements are output in decimal format. Status file
defaults elements are output in hexadecimal format with a leading 0x. Integer file
elements are output in decimal format. Complex data types (Timer, Counter,
Control, or other data types) are output as a table with bits and important
words specified.
Fixed display formats Float files are always output in floating point format (“C”%g format). ASCII
and STring files are always output as a null terminated text string. Binary
files are always output as two binary bytes.

 User Provided Pages Chapter 7

HTML Examples - the following example shows an HTML code segment with a
short description of what you would see on a web browser:

Examples HTML Code Web Browser Displays

Input image word I:0 <!ABDTR-I:0> the value of the first word of the input
image table in the default format of
decimal with bold type
Timer T4:0 <!ABDTR-T4:0> the values of the timer in T4:0 in the
default format of a table
Timer T4:0 <!ABDTR-T4:0%d> the values of the three words
comprising timer T4:0 in decimal with
bold type
N24:0 to N24:3 <!ABDTR-N24:0,4> the values of the four words in N24:0
through N24:3 in decimal with bold
type
S:21 to S:23 <!ABDTR-S:21, 3%d> the values of the three words in S:21
through S:23 in decimal with bold
type

Generating Custom Data You can generate Custom Data Table Monitor pages with your text editor then
download them to the MicroLogix 1400 controller using RSLogix 500/RSLogix
Table Monitor Pages Micro version 8.10 or later. The first element of the file must contain a special
tag as shown here:

<!ABCDM-xx>

where xx is the automatic refresh rate in seconds (01...99).

A value outside the range defaults to a “snapshot” display.

You can modify the refresh rate three different ways:
· enter the desired refresh rate and press the Change button
· select the Default button for a 15 second refresh
· disable the refresh by selecting the Disable button

Referencing Data Table Memory - the Data Table locations in the Custom Data
Table Monitor are referenced by placing custom tags into the ASCII file of the
processor. The format of the custom tag is:

<!ABDTR-file_type{file_number}:{file_element}[,#elements][%format]
[!comment]>

The items surrounded with {} are sometimes optional, whereas the items
surrounded by [] are always optional.

You must always specify the basic file reference. Depending on which file is being
referenced, file_number or file_element may be defaulted. If the file_type is I, O or
S, the file_number does not need to be specified, but the file_element must be
specified. If the file_type is not one of the three special files, the file_number must

Rockwell Automation Publication 1766-UM002E-EN-P - June 2019 41

Chapter 7 User Provided Pages

be specified and the file_element may default to zero (because the input, output,
and status files have fixed numbers).

When defining your custom tag, consider the following:

Tag Item Description

#elements If not specified, this defaults to one. If it is less than one, also
defaults to one. Each element is output using the same format
(whether specified with %format or defaulted). Any associated
comment is displayed only for the first element.
%format Legal values are %b for binary, %d for decimal, %0 for octal and
%x for hexadecimal. The following file types allow the format to
be specified:
· Input · Status
· Output · Integer
All other file types are displayed in an appropriate format.
!comment Data after the exclamation point and up to the closing > is
displayed in the Comment column of the monitor.
Fixed display formats Float files are always output in floating point format (“C”%g
format). String files are always output as a null terminated text
string. Binary files are always output as four binary nibbles.
Complex data types (Timer, Counter, Control, or other data files)
are output as a table with bits and important words specified.

Importing User Page Files to the MicroLogix 1400 Controller

Use RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro to import user page files to the MicroLogix
1400 controller ASCII files:

1. In the Project folder (under the Data Files folder), right-click on the first of
the block of four consecutive ASCII files where you will import the user
page HTML file.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click Import HTML.
4. Use the browser to locate the user page HTML file you want to import.
5. Double-click the file to select it.
6. Click OK.
7. Repeat this process for each user page file.
