I am trying to program our sites (40 or so) with a standard program, just the bare minimum of changes between the sites, IPs etc.

I have an alarm section in there to email us depending on power state.

Is it possible to have the site name from either the profile or a string withing the program embedded into the subject of the email? I can get it into the body, but when the email comes in, it is better to see which site it is from the subject.

1$="sitename_test"

RG1M
Alarm2(1hv<12.2)6cv"<12.2 Volts, actual= ?v"
Alarm3(1hv>12.0)">12 Volts, actual= ?v"[mailto:email@address.au?subject=Power Okay @ ?1$]{P15=0}
Alarm4(1hv<11.8 )"<11.8 Volts, actual= ?v"{P15=3}

With this I get the subject "Power Okay @ ?1$" where I would like Power Okay @ sitename_test

Thanks

Hi Grant,

You can change the email subject with particular variable but you have to use COPYD as a main host for mailto syntax.
Then because you set mailto as part of COPYD, you can't use alarm text as email content anymore.
Email content must be re-declared within mailto, please note ?v can't be used.

And because COPYD is originally unload syntax, you will need to remove data and alarm if you need alarm text (only).

Alarm3(1hv>12.0){COPYD data=n alarm=n dest="mailto:email@address.au?subject=Power Okay @ ?(1$)&body=>12 Volts, actual=?(1CV)"; P15=0}

Notes:
Although it is possible to manipulate subject and body of email, dataTaker can't give a customized file name in the attachment.

Best regards,

Thank you once again for your great help.

I look forward to trying it out in the coming days

Works a charm!

To make it a bit friendlier, is it possible to convert a channel variable into a string for inclusion into the text?

such as

2$(=2CV)

just so we can get at least one decimal place when we get the actual voltage?

Hi Grant,

Unfortunately you can't redefine channel variable as a string to achieve 1 decimal point, however you may trick the data itself to give you 1 decimal point.
Example:
You want to reduce 1CV to have 1 decimal point
1CV=1CV-(1CV%0.1)

Is it possible to have the alarm latch?

Currently the code is

Alarm3(1hv>12.5){copyd data=y sched=d start=-1T alarm=y dest="mailto:XXXXXXXXdevice@XXXXX.XXXX.gov.au?subject=Power Okay @ ?(1$)&body=>12.4 Volts, actual=?(2CV)"; P15=0}

Problem is that every time the power is between 12.50 and 12.99, it sends an email

Or would it be better to define the power to more decimal places eg Alarm3(1HV>12.500001)

Thanks

Grant

Hi Grant,

You can have a latch by defining another channel variable (i.e.: 99CV status).
Alarm3(1hv>12.5)AND Alarm(99CV=0){copyd data=y sched=d start=-1T alarm=y dest="mailto:XXXXXXXXdevice@XXXXX.XXXX.gov.au?subject=Power Okay @ ?(1$)&body=>12.4 Volts, actual=?(2CV)"; P15=0; 99CV=1}

Then use another schedule to reset 99CV as required.

I used (1hv>12.5/1H) so that the condition has to be met for one hour before sending the email

Thanks

Grant

Hi Grant,

Yes, that condition must last for one hour (or more) before the trigger happened.
"More than 1 hour" will happen depending on your sampling methods.
Example:
RA25M
Alarm3(1HV>12.5/1H){...}
