Is it possible to send a e-mail when some alarm appears in the system?, does WinCC include some application to do this or exists some way to realize this task? Thanks for your attention.

Is Alarm Management a software that runs with WinCC V6.0 SP3 and XP SP2, ori need additional elements? It seems to be what i need and offers a lot of services so thank you for the information. Best regards.

In WinCC V6 it is very easy to send e-mails just using VBS scripts. A cheap and cheerful solution but it may be unsuitable for a large number of alarms. Regards, Salma

Likewise i'm more interested in to send an SMS, because you can always carry your telephone. Well, i keep on working in this issue. Cheers

Or you could use a third-party service provider http://www.cellular.co.za/email_to_sms_gateways.htm [:D] Regarding the VBS side, below is an example script to get you started, if you are interested. [code] Dim appOutlook 'As OUTLOOK.APPLICATION Dim mlNewMail 'As MailItem Dim objEntry Dim Text Const addressee = "Email-Address of the addressee" ' Text to be sent Text = "This is an test mail" Set appOutlook = CreateObject("OUTLOOK.APPLICATION") 'Generating and sending an e-mail: Set mlNewMail = appOutlook.CreateItem(0) mlNewMail.Display mlNewMail.To = addressee mlNewMail.Subject = "Message from WinCC" mlNewMail.Body = Text mlNewMail.Send [/code]
