FP Web-Server V2.11
6.1 Email Functions of the FP Web-Server
59
With the [Spin] buttons (arrow up/ down) you can choose among the 4 input fields for the email
text input.
A predefined text can be selected by using the numbers 0 to 3 in the PLC program (see page
61).
Optionally a PLC data file attachment (see page
59) can be defined in the email text.
6.1.2 Predefined Email Texts in the FP Web-Server
Up to 4 email texts (0 to 3) can be predefined in the FP Web-Server, which can be selected and
sent from the PLC.
Alternatively the email text can be read from the PLC's memory (see "Email text string in the
PLC memory").
The first lines of the email text can be used for special keywords (see RFC 822 regulation):
SUBJECT any subject
TO any name
FROM any name
To automatically insert keywords, please refer to "Automatic TO/FROM tag insertion".
Then an email text of up to 31950 characters (almost 32kB) may follow. Also the same quantity
of characters is allowed when reading email from the PLC.
Comment:
For email text, use only 7-bit ASCII characters.
The email texts are saved in ASCII text files as "mail_x.txt" in the Configurator project, where
_x stands for a number from 0 to 3. If it is absolutely necessary to edit these files outside the
configurator using a text editor (Notepad, EditPad...). Do not work with a word processing
system, such as WinWord!
e.g.: The file mail_0.txt from the configurator project may look like the following:
SUBJECT: Email Alert
Hello PLC user,
This is an email alert from your
PLC. Service required.
6.1.2.1 PLC Data Attached to an Email
It is possible to generate an email with an attached file holding PLC data. The PLC data can be
sent as a text (TXT) or MS Excel (CSV) compatible file format. The PLC register range to be
read and sent with the attachment and the file name can be defined in a special tag. This tag is
placed in the email text directly after the statements "SUBJECT" and "TO", i.e. in a separate text
line directly before the email text starts. The email text can be predefined (stored in the FP
Web-Server) or read from the PLC memory.
The format of the special tag for a CSV attachment is:
{A_D_00200_00066_S04_filename.csv}
