If you have OSI-PI or OPC connectivity, then you could use Topview from Exele, I use it with PI and it works great. http://www.exele.com/Products/TopView/topview_about.htm Ken Moore Celanese Enoree Plant -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Johnson, David Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 12:50 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] Sending email from a windows AW Hello all, I have a need to monitor a few Foxboro points and send an email when a certain situation occurs. I've sent mail from Sun boxes in the past, which is easy with command line tools. I am not familiar with this on windows, put assume that it exists. I have options.... They have Foxray ... 1.. I could build an alarm and have Foxray monitor this and send an email when the alarm comes in. The only problem there is the some delay on the data collection (5 or 10 minutes depending on fast collect scheduling) and they want a fairly immediate indication that a problem is occurring. 2.. I could write a piece of sequence code to kick off an external command to send an email. 3.. I could write a simple looping shell script that uses omgetimp and waits until the event occurs and then send an email. 4.. Foxpage probably does this and a lot more. 5.. There might be a better way of doing this that I haven't thought of. So does anyone have any advice before I start dusting off some old Unix shell scripts?
