Send Email
About This Chapter This chapter describes how to send an email message.
For email, the web server module can be located locally or remotely
to the controller chassis.
Overview The web server module is an email client that uses a mail relay server
to send email. There are two ways you can use the web server
modules to send email.
The web server module only sends the content of a MSG instruction
(or the content of the message entered on the email web page) as an
email to a mail relay server. Delivery of the email depends on the mail
server. The web server module does not receive email.

Instruction 71
If You Want To Then
Send an email to specific personnel when a controller application
generates an alarm or reaches a certain condition. Program the controller to send a MSG instruction to the web server
module.
The MSG instruction then instructs the web server module to send
the email text (contained within the MSG instruction) to the mail
relay server.
Multiple controllers can use the same web server module to initiate
email.
Send controller or application status information on a regular basis
to a project manager.
Test the email configuration of the web server module. Use the Send an Email link on the web server’s Home page.
Use the web server email interface to send an email (you must
enter all email information each time you use this interface).
