6.1 Email Functions of the FP Web-Server
The FP Web-Server can send out emails, e.g. in case of an alert. An existing Email-Server (see
page 64) is used to distribute the emails triggered by the PLC. The PLC can use predefined text
messages (stored in the FP Web-Server) as well as variably created email texts (stored as
ASCII strings in the PLC). The FP Web-Server informs the PLC if the email has been sent out
correctly.

messages (stored in the FP Web-Server) as well as variably created email texts (stored as
ASCII strings in the PLC). The FP Web-Server informs the PLC if the email has been sent out
correctly.
After a predefined time interval (e.g. every 7 seconds) the FP Web-Server checks an internal
relay of the PLC (via MEWTOCOL) to find out if the PLC wants to send out an email. The polling
interval between PLC requests (and the address of the PLC internal relay that starts the sending
of the email) can be defined in the Configurator project.

interval between PLC requests (and the address of the PLC internal relay that starts the sending
of the email) can be defined in the Configurator project.
Optionally a file attachment holding PLC data (see page 59) can be generated.
If the http server and/or the Ethernet/RS232C ports are carrying out MEWTOCOL
communication with the PLC at the same time, the polling time can take longer than specified in
the setup. Especially when carrying out multi-frame MEWTOCOL commands (PLC program
download) via the Ethernet/ RS232C ports, the email polling of the PLC internal relay is
delayed.

A) Using an email server via Ethernet LAN:
Please ask your network administrator to clarify the following requirements:
• An email SMPT-Server in the LAN is required. Also refer to Setup of an Individual
Ethernet LAN (see page 168).
• The address of the Email-Server has to be stated correctly in the Configurator project.
• A defined email address, which is known to the Email-Server, should be assigned to the
• A defined email address, which is known to the Email-Server, should be assigned to the
PLC (or the FP Web-Server).
B) Dialing up an email server in the Internet:
• A modem is needed to dial up an ISP
• An email account of an Internet email ISP is needed.
• To set up an ISP refer to Internet Email Settings (see page 130).
• An email account of an Internet email ISP is needed.
• To set up an ISP refer to Internet Email Settings (see page 130).
6.1.1 Email Parameters in Configurator Projects
The following settings of the Configurator project concern email functionality. (Examples include
the Configurator project "Example2" for Ethernet LAN usage and "Example7" for Internet
email).
