BRX PLC Secure Email Communication

We will now send secure email and text messages using our BRX Do-More controller. Do-more Designer has added secure email with SSL and TLS encryption. This feature is only supported on BRX CPUs with an onboard Ethernet port and the Do-more Simulator. The firmware must be at version 2.2 or higher on the BRX CPU. You can check your current version by using the main menu | PLC | Update Firmware… Note: This must be done when you are online with the PLC. We will use our program from our previous example of an email with a restricted Gmail server and add authentication to our email instruction. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-email-text-sms-messaging-gmail Note: Google is removing "Less Secured Apps" in the mail app. (Gmail) If you are using this to send email from your controller, you must enable 2-step verification. This will then give you the option to generate an "App Password" for your controller or program.

Here are just a few. - Standalone PLC with built in I/O - Built in Data Logging - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet) - Built in Analog input and output - Integrated motion control - High speed counters - Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructons in software) - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules - Part of the Do-More series of PLCs which use the same free software. (Do-More Designer) - Integrated simulator in the software capable of external communications for testing The BRX series of programmable logic controllers consist of four different units. They differ depending on the Inputs and Outputs built into the unit and if it has the ethernet port. No I/O Micro PLC unit – (BX ME) 10 Point Micro PLC unit – (BX 10/10E) 18 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 18/18E) 36 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 36/36E) These CPUs (Central Processing Units) are also known as MPU (Multi Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
