Sorry, but it's completely brainless.

If you're searching for a way to send email alerts triggered by an alarm on a PLC, consider exploring uSwitch CS - a WiFI/Ethernet Web Controlled Relays and I/O system. This system can automatically send emails based on specific relay triggers, allowing for limited but efficient email notifications to be sent out.

As per my knowledge, the SLC500 5/05 is a PLC, not intended for communicating via email or text messages directly. However, you can interconnect it with a SCADA system or third-party software that could process the SLC's signals and trigger an email or text message for alerts. Hope this helps!

While it's technically possible to rig up a scenario in which the SLC500 5/05 sends emails or texts via Ethernet, it's not a built-in functionality of the controller and would therefore need an extensive workaround. You might want to consider using an intermediary device that the SLC500 5/05 can send signals to, which can then generate the emails or texts. Another option may be switching to a newer model PLC that has these kinds of communication features built in. Just make sure to thoroughly evaluate what will be more cost and time efficient for your project.
