– User Manual
27
The user can specify an email address and an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server
when using the email function. The device sends an email to the user if there is an alarm.
Authentication can be enabled as an option. The required access data must be entered for this
purpose.
Once the switch has been integrated and parametrised in a Profinet network, the “PROFINET”
alarm receiver is permanently set in the system and cannot be changed in the device. The alarm
triggers for the individual events are enabled in the hardware configuration of the controller. If a
trigger occurs, the switch sends an alarm message to the controller. This information can then be
processed programme-technically within the PLC.
Messages
The messages help the user view status and error messages of the various functions. The messages are
displayed in the overview with date and time, as well as a code, type, description, and reference. Since the
log entries are not stored in the device, they are no longer available after a device restart or a power
interruption. It is possible to use an external syslog server or the SD card to archive the messages
permanently.
Statistics
This tab provides a summary of the individual error codes that have occurred and their frequency.
Settings
Syslog server: Enable this function to save the messages on a syslog server. Enter the syslog
server IP address in decimal point notation, select “File” from media type, and save the settings
using the Apply button. Check if the server is reachable and saves the messages in a file.
Media type SD card: Ensure that an SD card is inserted to save the messages on the SD card.
Then select “SD card” under Media type and save the settings using the Apply button. Please
check whether there is enough free memory on the SD card and whether the messages are
saved in a file.
Resetting the entries
The button “Delete entries” removes all entries from the table. The time of deletion of the entries
can then be viewed as the first entry with the description “Logfile reset by User!” and reference
“logFileReset()”.
