2. In the Path field, type the path for the MSG instruction. The path starts
with the controller initiating the MSG instruction.
Type the number of the port from which the message exits and the address
of the next module in the path.
For example, if the EtherNet/IP communication module is in the same
chassis as the controller and is in slot 2, the path is: 1, 2.
For more information on configuring the path of a MSG instruction, see
the Logix5000 Controllers General Instructions Reference Manual,

4. Configure the MSG parameters for sending an email.
• From the Service Type pull-down menu, choose Attribute Single
• In the Instance field, type 1.
• In the Class field, type 32f.
• In the Attribute field, type 5.
• From the Source Element pull-down menu, choose the tag that contains
your email text.
• In the Source Length field, type the number of characters in the email
plus four.
In this example, you would enter 13 for the number of characters plus 4
for a total of 17.
After the MSG instruction that configures the mail relay server executes
successfully, the controller stores the mail relay server information in
nonvolatile memory. The controller retains this information, even through
power cycles, until another MSG instruction changes the information.
The Source Length is the number of characters in the STRING tag
that identifies the mail relay server plus 4 characters.
In this example, the tag contains 13 characters.
