Productivity 1000 Series PLC Email and Text Communication

Email and Text messages can be sent from the Productivity Series PLC. Secure PLC Email messaging is now available in the latest version of the Productivity Programming suite. SMTP or Transport layer security (TLS) email with an attachment and/or latest data log files can be sent. To be able to use this feature you must have installed Productivity programming suite v3.4 or higher and then load the latest firmware to the Productivity CPU. We can set up 4 different accounts in our PLC project. Account templates are already installed for some of the more common email servers. We will be sending an email using a Gmail account with authentication. This will also include attached logged data files, error, and event files. Our message will also include a switch and register current values when sending our email. We will also discuss how the PLC can send a text (SMS) message. (This is found on our Website with the link above.) Let's get started. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-email-and-text-communication 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. - 50MB user memory - Can handle very complex applications easily. - 4 built-in communication ports – Easy connectivity to your network. - Data logging up to 32 GB on a microSD card - Add up to 8 IP modules to communicate to your field sensors. This will give you a total of 128 discrete IO points or 32 analog IO channels. - Free Software and 30 days of free training with every CPU from Automation Direct. - Interactive PLC Configuration Tool - Tag Names - Auto-discovery IO – Physical I/O tags will be generated based on each module’s position in the base. - I/O Modules have QR codes under the wiring cover. This can be scanned so you can have the latest specifications/ wiring diagrams for the module. - Limitless PID – Autotuning – Individual or Cascade Mode - etc - Web Server and Mobile Access - Advanced Software instruction set The Productivity 1000 series of programmable logic controllers currently has all of these features built into the P1-540 CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) are also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
