Overview of the functions
The controller signals process events
With the email function of the Advanced CP, the automation system can send messages
containing process information either processdependent or at specific times.
As usual with electronic mail, a message can be sent alone or with attachments. The form
you choose depends on the amount of data and the properties of the email recipient you are
using. It is sometimes necessary to send emails with attachments, for example to transfer
binarycoded information from the controller for evaluation.
