Alarm via email

[MohanadOdema]

Hello,

I want to send an email to myself whenever an alarm for a certain channel goes off. However, I’m uncertain of what I’m supposed to do. I know I should create a new device for the emailing but im not entirely sure what I’am supposed to fill in the ‘Address’ and ‘call number’ fields. I also am clueless of what my next step should be and whether I need a specific software for this kind of action or not.

Help?

Hello,

You can add this XML into ScadaCommSvcConfig.xml:

    <CommLine active="true" bind="false" number="12" name="Email">
      <CommChannel type="" />
      <LineParams>
        <Param name="ReqTriesCnt" value="3" descr="Device request retries count on error" />
        <Param name="CycleDelay" value="0" descr="Delay after request cycle, ms" />
        <Param name="CmdEnabled" value="true" descr="Commands enabled" />
        <Param name="DetailedLog" value="true" descr="Write detailed information to the log" />
      </LineParams>
      <CustomParams />
      <ReqSequence>
        <KP active="true" bind="true" number="201" name="Email sender" dll="KpEmail.dll" address="0" callNum="" timeout="10000" delay="200" time="00:00:00" period="00:00:00" cmdLine="" />
      </ReqSequence>
    </CommLine>

It adds a communication line with device 201 that sends SMS.

Check that commands are send from Communicator UI.
Commands:
1 (binary) – send the notification.

Command text examples:
group_name;subject;message
contact_name;subject;message
email;subject;message

If emails are sent successfully, you should use Automatic Control Module to send commands automatically according to your conditions.

It is not sending emails from the communicator UI. I tried adding the same credentials in the Scada Admin and it is not working still.

Here are some screenshots

Did you enter your valid email account in the device 201 properies in Communicator?
If not, just double click the device 201 to open them.

Yeah that was it, it’s working now thanks.

The module can be tested to send automatic commands during the 10 minute trial period, can’t it?

I’m trying to send a simple command that I configured before but it doesn’t seem to be working. Is further configuration needed on the module properties ?
