Productivity 1000 Series PLC - Automation Direct - Productivity 1000 PLC SMTP Email Messaging Programming Now! 📨

Master secure PLC email messaging with attachments! Stop struggling with remote notifications - finally unlock professional email automation for your projects. 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 the latest data log files can be sent. To use this feature, you must have installed the Productivity programming suite v3.4 or higher, then load the latest firmware onto 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 send an email from a Gmail account with authentication. This will also include the attached logged data files, error files, and event files. Our message will also include a switch and register the current values when we send the email. We will also discuss how the PLC can send a text (SMS) message.

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 to provide 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 includes all of these features in the P1-540 CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) is also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of its communication capabilities. Regards, Garry ACC Automation https://www.accautomation.ca
