Alerting via Email

NOTE

For detailed information about setting up your network and building a framework for meter email (MeterM@il) alerts, refer to the technical note ION MeterM@il Internal Email Server Feature.

If email is specified as the destination address in the Alert module then an email message is sent to any address you specify. You can only set one email address per Alert module. If you want to send an alert to more than one email address you need to create a group — be sure your email server is configured to send email to groups via SMTP (Simple Message Transport Protocol).

Follow the steps below to send email alerts from your meter. Note that your meter must support emailing (with a correctly configured SMTP server):

1.Create an Alert module.

2.Configure these Alert module setup registers as indicated:

Message – type in the text of the alert to be emailed.

Destination – type in the destination email address.

Type – select Email.

Com Port – select Ethernet.

Location – type in a custom string; this is optional, and appears in the email.

Email From – type in an address that you want the email to appear from. This may be required as some SMTP servers only accept emails from valid addresses.

3.Create an ION module that will produce a pulse on its Trigger output when the exceptional event occurs (for example, a Setpoint module pulses its Trigger output when the setpoint condition is reached).

4.Link the Alert module’s Trigger input to the Trigger output of the module created in step 3.

5.Send and save. When the Trigger input is pulsed, the Alert module establishes communications with the SMTP mail server, and emails the alert message.
