Congratulations! You have successfully connected to your WebAccess Project Node. It took no special software to connect.

 

Figure 2-24 – WebAccess “Root” page – bwRoot.ASP

Your WebAccess probably looks like the above. It is possible a system engineer modified this page to remove buttons or add additional buttons, change the color, add company logos, etc.  Figure 2-3 above is an example of a modified Project Node Login Page.

 

There are three choices on the HOME Page (bwroot.asp).

·      WebAccess Configuration

·      WebAccess User Management

·      WebAccess View

 

If this is a newly installed system, you must build a project and download it to a SCADA node before you can use VIEW.

 

Let’s next go to WebAccess Configuration, to build a project.
