Make sure that the user identifiers are unique.
As soon as you have configured the necessary number of users, you can click "Next" to
complete user configuration.
Then either change to another wizard or complete the configuration of the CP 243-1 by
clicking "Finish".
3.3.3 Configuration of the e-mail functions
To change to the wizard to configure the e-mail functions, click the icon in the left-hand pane
of the dialog. All the information entered in this wizard is stored in the file system of the CP
243-1 in a file with the extension .edb when the configuration is downloaded to the S7-200
system.
Configuring the e-mail address and the e-mail server to be used
In the first dialog of the e-mail wizard, assign an e-mail address to your S7-200 system. The
e-mail address specified here will be entered as the sender address in all e-mails sent.
Then select an e-mail server to which your CP 243-1 will send the e-mails. Enter the IP
address and the port of this e-mail server. An e-mail server can usually be accessed via port
25. This port is the default. If the e-mail server you specified uses a different port, enter this
port in the relevant box.
To increase reliability, you can enter a second e-mail server. The CP 243-1 attempts to send
an e-mail to the e-mail server specified first. If this server cannot be reached (for example
due to a network malfunction), the CP 243-1 then attempts to send the e-mail to the second
e-mail server. If the second e-mail server is also unreachable, the CP 243-1 aborts its
attempts to send the e-mail and outputs an error message to this effect.
Configuring the e-mails
The next dialog is used to configure the e-mails. In this dialog, enter the address to which the
e-mail will be sent for every e-mail to be sent by the CP 243-1. You can also enter a second
recipient to receive a a copy of the e-mail. Here, you also enter the subject.
Placeholders for data from the S7-200 system can be inserted in the actual e-mail text to be
sent. When the e-mail is sent, the CP 243-1 replaces each of these placeholders with the
current value of the data.
To insert such a placeholder in your e-mail, click "Insert Data". In the dialog that then opens,
create the placeholder you want to insert. Specify the address of the data to be transferred
and the format in which this data will be shown in the e-mail.
A total of up to 32 different e-mails can be configured.
As soon as you have configured the required number of e-mails, click "Next" to exit the e-
mail wizard.
Then either change to another wizard or complete the configuration of the CP 243-1 by
clicking "Finish".
