Options for Receiving e-mail
These options affect the behavior of all e-mailbox signal blocks.
POP3 Server URL Field
Supply a POP3 server domain URL. Typically, this is the organization’s domain
name with the sub-domain
pop, mailbox
or
postoffice
prefixed, as in
mailbox.organization.com
, but quite often it could be something else. It may or may
not be the same as the SMTP server URL. If in doubt, check how the e-mail client is
set up at any PC on site or check with the organization’s MIS department or Internet
Service Provider.
N
OTE
:
The same notes under “SMTP Server URL Field” on page 23 apply to the POP3 server URL
as well.
Check mail every minutes
A value in this field causes all enabled e-mailbox signal blocks to periodically check
for new mail. The initial value for this field is 0 (no automatic checks).
COM Settings Definition
A data structure called a “system” must be created for each connection you intend to
make to your control system.
All active signal blocks (
Signal Blocks
tab) must reference such a structure. See
“Interface Definition” on page 29 for instructions on defining such a reference for
your signal blocks.
The
COM Settings
tab
The
COM Settings
tab of the Configuration Options window contains a list of data
structures called “COM Settings definitions” which represent connections to control
systems. From this tab, you can activate and deactivate such definitions, and define
additional ones.

OTE
:
Connections may be defined before or after signal blocks are defined. However, signal
blocks cannot be activated until they reference a defined connection.
Refer to the figure below.
To remove a COM Settings definition, select it and click the
Remove
button.
To duplicate an existing definition, select it and click the
Duplicate
button. The new
definition differs from the original in that it is given a unique name which is derived
from the name of the original, incremented by one. (If the original did not end in a
number, the name of the duplicate is the name of the original with a “1” suffixed to
it.)
Click the
Add…
button to define an new connection; or select one of the definitions
already listed and click
Modify…
to modify it. The
COM Settings
window opens:
