E-mail setupFP Web-Server V2.810 EN 47Chapter 6E-mail setup6.1 E-mail functions of the FP Web-ServerThe FP Web-Server can send e-mails, e.g. in case of an alert. An existinge-mail server (see p. 49) is used to distribute the e-mails triggered by thePLC. The PLC can use predefined text messages (stored in the FPWeb-Server) as well as variably created e-mail texts (stored as ASCIIstrings in the PLC). The FP Web-Server informs the PLC if the e-mail hasbeen sent correctly.After a predefined interval, e.g. every 7 seconds, the FP Web-Serverchecks an internal flag of the PLC (via MEWTOCOL) to find out if the PLCwants to send an e-mail. The polling interval between PLC requests (andthe address of the PLC internal flag that starts the sending of the e-mail)can be defined in the Configurator project.Optionally, a file attachment holding PLC data can be generated.If the HTTP/HTTPS server and/or the Ethernet<-> RS232C/RS485/USBports are carrying out MEWTOCOL communication with the PLC at the sametime, the polling time ís longer than specified in the configuration.Especially when carrying out the multi-frame MEWTOCOL commands (PLCprogram download) via the Ethernet<-> RS232C/RS485/USB ports, thee-mail polling of the PLC internal flag can be delayed.For examples on sending e-mails from the PLC, refer to the PEW_FPWEBlibrary or try the examples below.A) Using an e-mail server via Ethernet LAN:Please ask your network administrator whether the followingrequirements are met: An e-mail SMTP server in the LAN is required. Also refer to setup of anindividual Ethernet LAN (see p. 181). The address of the e-mail server must be correct in the Configuratorproject. A defined e-mail address, which is known to the e-mail-server, shouldbe assigned to the PLC (or the FP Web-Server).
