Some of my company's customers have been asking about supporting HTTPS with our web pages. Since most of our networked products use the HMS B40 Brick (EIP/PROFINET), I was wondering if the B40 supported HTTPS for the internal web server.

I checked over the network and software guides but did not see mention of HTTPS or TLS in the supported protocols list.

  Hello,

  actually, the B40 for EtherNet/IP doesn't support HTTPS, whereas the B40 for EtherNet/IP IIoT Secure (AB6990) does.

  For the latter, you'll need to install both a CA and a device certificate, e.g. by means of the Anybus Certificate Generator.

  Detailed information can be found on the AB6990's download page.
