Send event notifications as text messages with Schneider's M221

[louis_plc]

Folks,

I just joined the forum !

Please suggest/advice about possible options for receiving event notifications over text messages on a CDMA network with Schneider's M221 processor. i am aware of the fact that Schneider offers a SR2MOD3 (GSM modem) which does not solve my purpose as most of the cell phone carriers in the US uses CDMA and so is my customer. Has some encountered a similar roadblock ? Also, if a CDMA modem is not available/possible. I might consider an event notification module (ENM) or a active pager module (APM) so this can be done just via software (SQL server and OPC server etc).

Thanks in advance !

I would look at sending email using AdvancedHMI. This would run on any windows computer. The computer through AdvancedHMI would communicate to the PLC via Modbus.

Sending text messages via email can be accomplished easily by using the correct email address for the carrier that you are using.

Garry, thanks for your suggestions. sending text message via email works as you suggested but how this method can be utilized to achieve the below -

PLC generates alarm/event for a user defined value --> generate an email notification ---> same notification is sent as a text over a mobile phone network.
Thanks again man.

Hi Louis,
You would have a computer running AdvancedHMI. It would communicate to the PLC (Ethernet / Modbus TCP) reading values time frame you determine. When the PLC triggers an alarm, a bit will be turned on by the PLC program. AdvancedHMI will read the bit and send the messages.

This link will show the program to read the bit and send the email / text message.
