Setting up email for alrams

[sgwater]

Hi,

Just trying to figure out a better way to setup the mailer function. We are monitoring a lift station with two pumps and 1 lift alarm we only really care about the lift alarm but in trying to get ther mailer working i have been setting up the mailer

function with a the pumps seeing how they go on and off and the lift alarm hasnt yet. My question is is there a better way to do this it seems that the mailer keeps on sending messages out when we only want 1 message sent.

For instance when pump1 comes on \\waterscada\SG_WSCADA_SERVER\GE1.R103=1 or \\waterscada\SG_WSCADA_SERVER\GE1.R103=3 then i want it to send off an email message. after i figure out how this works we will

have it so that the Lift station alarm comes on it will send a message \\waterscada\SG_WSCADA_SERVER\GE1.R103=4. just wondering if i should be associating the trigger with the plc values, Iv'e been readin about Alarms object and was wondering if i should create an alarm object and tie it to the plc and then tie the mailer function to the Alarm object instead. Im just tyring to figure out how to only send one message out when the alarm comes on and not any more seems to be sending like 4 or 5 message out when the value comes on.

Any information or insight would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

One thing you could try is use use the following in the send box:  $Alarm.'priority08.unacked'.

This will now send all priority 8 alarms out.  I have been able to get this to work. It seems like I

get two emails but better than multiple which I did have happening before as well.

Goodluck
