● Programmed recipient address
You specify the recipient address in the data block in the user program in which the email
is prepared.
Example: plant.control@provider.com
Note
Opening ports
Make sure that the relevant ports of the communication partner of the CP are opened.
Setting up an e-mail connection
Emails can be sent from the automation system, but they cannot be received.
To send e-mail in the user program of the S7-CPU, use the send call of the SEND/RECEIVE
interface (program blocks AG_SEND / AG_LSEND).
Configuration overview
One
email connection per CP must always be set up to send emails. This email connection
specifies the mail server that delivers all emails sent by the CP.
An email connection can be set up as follows:
● Connection configuration in STEP 7 (standard application)
This application is described below.
● User program with IP_CONFIG program block and configuration data block
This situation is described in detail in /10/ (Page 230).
