Summary
This sample demonstrates configuring to send an email and an SMS containing alarm information using the feature NotificationMethod every time an alarm event occurs.
Technical Information
The NotificationMethod used in this solution example allows configuring your solution to send an email, an SMS, a message box, or speech the alarm message every time a conditional event alarm occurs.
When the solution runs, the NotificationMethod is called every time a conditional event alarm occurs. Then, this method receives an Array of AlarmEventInfo as a parameter. See an example code below:
public void AlarmEvents(AlarmEventInfo[] events)
{
//Protection in case events its null
if (events == null)
return;
//Get the first event
AlarmEventInfo event = events[0];
if (event.State != 1)
return;
//Get information about the alarm event to create the body of the email
string body = "Time: " + event.ActiveLocalTime.ToString() + "\n" +
"Message = " + event.Message + "\n" +
"Area = " + event.Area + "\n" +
"Group = " + event.Group + "\n" +
"Tag = " + event.TagName + "\n";
//Code to send email
try
{
//Configuring the SMTP Client
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient mySmtpClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(@Tag.smtpServer, 587);
mySmtpClient.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
mySmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
mySmtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(@Tag.fromEmail, @Tag.passFromEmail);
//Sending the email
mySmtpClient.Send(@Tag.fromEmail, @Tag.toEmail, "Dmail notification", body);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
@Info.Trace("Error sending message: " + ex.Message);
}
}
Once in the NotificationMethod, you can send an email, send a message, send a message box, speech an alarm message, etc.
Reference Information
If sending emails is required in your solution, you can install a PlugIn with that functionality.
