Abstract
An automation control module (ACM) includes an ACM central processing unit (CPU), a backplane electrically coupled to the ACM CPU, and a web system embedded within the ACM and electrically coupled to the ACM CPU and backplane. The web system includes a secure web server and is configured to process hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) requests from a network to program and configure the ACM through the network. The HTTP requests are received by the secure web server and transmitted by the secure web server directly the ACM CPU without using the backplane.
