You can fairly easily send an email with AdvancedHMI based on a bit going True.
- Add a driver to your form and set its properties
- Add a DataSubscriber to the form and set the PLCAddressValue property to the bit you want to trigger the email
- Double click the DataSubscriber to get back to the code
- Enter and modify this code accordingly:
Private Sub DataSubscriber1_DataChanged_1(sender As Object, e As Drivers.Common.PlcComEventArgs) Handles DataSubscriber1.DataChanged
'* Make sure Data came back
If e.Values IsNot Nothing AndAlso e.Values.Count > 0 Then
'* Did it come back as True or 1?
If String.Compare(e.Values(0), "TRUE", True) = 0 Or e.Values(0) = "1" Then
Using email As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
'* Set who it is from
email.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("advancedhmi@mydomain.com")
'* Add the recipients
email.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("receiver@theirdomain.com"))
email.Subject = "AdvancedHMI Event Was Triggered"
email.Body = "This event occurred"
'* Create the client that will send the message
Dim MailSendingClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
'* set this to the smtp server you will use
MailSendingClient.Host = "MySmtpServer"
MailSendingClient.Port = 25
'* If your SMTP Server does not require a password, then remove this section
Dim credentials As New System.Net.NetworkCredential("MyUsername", "MyPassword")
MailSendingClient.Credentials = credentials
'* Send the email
MailSendingClient.Send(email)
End Using
End If
End If
If your SMTP server has different requirements, there are many examples on the Internet. Google "send email .NET"
