Email; Configuring Modbus Pass Through - Generac Power Systems Power Zone 410 Owner's Manual

Installation and Operation

Email

Power Zone features that use email must have access to
a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) email server.
See Figure 3-44. This screen allows you to set up the
email server and recipient list for alarm, event, and warn-
ing emails. The name or IP address of the server provid-
ing SMTP services is entered in the Host field (A). The
name to be used as the sender of the email is entered in
the From field (B). You can use different names for each
generator to help you identify the source of an email.
Enter the port number being used by the SMTP service in
the Port field (C). Most SMTP servers use port 25.
Select the desired Transport Layer Security (TLS)
settings (D). Options are:
•
Automatic TLS Settings: The connection to the
mail server is started in plain text and TLS is used
if the mail server supports the STARTTLS exten-
sion.
•
Always Use TLS: The connection to the mail
server is started in plain text and sends STARTTLS
commands even if the mail server does not adver-
tise support for it. If the server cannot support TLS,
no email will be sent.
•
Use SMTP over TLS: TLS will be used when con-
necting to the mail server.
•
Never Use TLS: TLS will not be used to connect to
the mail server or as a STARTTLS connection
upgrade command.
If your SMTP server requires a user ID and password to
send emails, check the Use Authentication box (E), and
enter the required user ID and password in the User-
name and Password fields (F).
The Alarm distribution list is used to enter a list of email
addresses that should receive an email notifying them of
any alarms, warnings, or events that occur. To remove an
address from the list, press the red garbage can icon (G)
to the right of the email address. The Alarms and
Warnings check box (H) should be checked if that
address should receive emails of all alarms and
warnings. The Events check box (I) should be checked if
that address should receive emails of all events. If you
would like the emails to contain an attached data log file
of data logged for a period of time preceding and
following the alarm, warning, or event, check the
Attachments check box (J). Click the Add button (K) to
save your changes.

Configuring Modbus Pass Through

See Figure 3-45. The Power Zone Gateway acts as a
gateway for external systems to exchange data with a
Power Zone System using Modbus. The Gateway sup-
ports both Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU over RS-485.
To enable Modbus TCP access, check the box labeled
Modbus TCP.
To enable Modbus RTU access, check the Modbus RTU
checkbox and configure the RS-485 port to match your
external system's communication settings. To configure
the RS-485 port, set the Unit ID of the Gateway (A),
select the RS-485 port from the Serial Port name (B) and
set the communication settings Baud Rate (C), Parity
(D), and Stop Bits (E).
