The electronic mail notification service allows controller-based projects to report alarms or events. The automation controller monitors the system and can automatically create an electronic mail message alert with data, alarms, and/or events. Mail recipients can be either local or remote.
-
Based on predefined events or conditions, messages are created using the MBP_STR function block.
-
The email message is constructed from predefined headers plus variables and text (a maximum of 238 bytes). This message is sent directly from the automation system to the local email server.
-
Mail headers contain common predefined items—recipient list, sender name, and subject. These items can be updated by an authorized administrator.
The NOE communications module and 140 CPU 651 x0 modules include an SMTP client. When the module receives a specific request from the controller, the module sends an email message to the mail server.
