Allow you to configure which alarm events should generate emails:
• Active: When the alarm becomes active.
• Ack: When the alarm is acknowledged.
• Norm: When the alarm is normalized.
Notice that each event can be enabled/disabled individually.
The tag configured in this field, if any, is updated with the current status of the current
or last email that the project attempted to send:
• -2: Incorrect version of the INDMail.DLL library.
• -1: The INDMail.DLL library is corrupted.
• 0: SendEmailExt function is not being executed.
• 1: Sending email(s)
• 2: Last email was sent successfully.
• 3: There was an error sending the last email.
The tag configured in this field, if any, is updated with the error message describing
the result of the last email that the project attempted to send. Therefore, when
configuring a tag in this field, this tag must be a String type.
This interface allows you to configure the actual format of the message sent by email,
based on the alarm event(s):
• Day, Month, Year, Hour, Minute, Second, MS: The options checked will
compose the timestamp for the alarm messages. MS stands for milliseconds.
• Items: The options checked will compose the email message for each alarm.
You can configure the order of the items, by using the Move Up and Move Down
buttons.
• Separator: Allow you to choose the separator used between the items checked
in this interface.
While you configure these settings, the Sample field displays an example of the
format of the message according to the settings being configured.
When the alarm events are generated, they are kept in an internal buffer (memory).
When the tag configured in this field changes of value, the email(s) on the internal
buffer are sent to the addresses configured in the To, Cc and Bcc fields. After being
successfully sent, the emails are removed from the internal buffer.
Maximum number of alarm messages (events) that can be stored in the internal buffer
simultaneously. When this limit is reached, the buffer follows a FIFO (First-In, First-
Out) behavior, discharging the older messages as soon as the newer messages are
generated, guaranteeing that the buffer does not exceed the limit configured in this
field.
The tag configured in this field, if any, is updated with the number of messages
(events) currently stored in the internal buffer.
When the tag configured in this field changes of value, all messages (events) currently
stored in the buffer are deleted. These messages will never be sent.
When the value of the tag configured in this field is TRUE, the Email feature is
temporarily disabled. Alarm events generated while the Email feature is disabled will
not be stored in the internal buffer. Also, emails will NOT be sent in this condition,
even if the tag configured in the field Send Trigger changes of value.
