3.10 Using Auto Warning
Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will
not always know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial Ethernet
switch that connects to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time alarm
messages. Even when control engineers are out of the control room for an extended period of time,
they can still be informed of the status of devices almost instantaneously when exceptions occur. The
Weidmüller switch supports different approaches to warn engineers automatically, such as email and
relay output. It also supports two digital inputs to integrate sensors into your system to automate
alarms by email and relay output.
3.10.1 Configuring Email Warning
The Auto Email Warning function uses e-mail to alert the user when certain user-configured events
take place. Three basic steps are required to set up the Auto Warning function:
Configure Email Event Types
Select the desired Event types from the Console or Web Browser Event type page (a description of
each event type is given later in the Email Alarm Events setting subsection).
Configure Email Settings
To configure a Weidmüller switch’s email setup from the serial, Telnet, or web console, enter your
Mail Server IP/Name (IP address or name), Account Name, Account Password, Retype New
Password, and the email address to which warning messages will be sent.
Activate your settings and if necessary, test the email
After configuring and activating your Weidmüller switch’s Event Types and Email Setup, you can use
the Test Email function to see if your e-mail addresses and mail server address have been properly
configured.
