How to Send Emails Using the WAGO 750-880 Controller with Gmail SMTP

Question:

How can I send an email using the WAGO 750-880 controller through smtp.gmail.com? Please note that Google's SMTP requires an SSL connection. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I aimed to achieve the same goal, but I don't believe it's feasible. It appears that the Mail Library lacks support for authentication and SSL (Secure Socket Layer).

To find a straightforward tutorial, search for "Kurt Braun" on YouTube. He has created an easy-to-follow video guide on this topic. Alternatively, you can utilize the functions available in the oscat.de library for added support.

The user mentioned: "To learn more, check out Kurt Braun’s YouTube channel where he has created a straightforward guide on this topic. Alternatively, you can explore the Oscat.de function library for additional resources." I am aware of Kurt Braun's tutorials, but I can't locate one specifically focused on email configuration. Additionally, the Oscat Network Library for Codesys version 2 does not offer support for SMTP authentication. Currently, I am using a 750-852 controller with Codesys 2.3, and my library is WagoLibMail_02.lib. I’ve come across another library that appears to provide authentication support. However, when attempting to write to the PLC, I encounter an issue with "Unresolved external POUs". Please see the attached file for further information.

They can be found in a different library known as LibSysFile.

The issue I encountered with the unresolved Points of Use (POUs) stemmed from the fact that my controller firmware was considerably outdated. I was operating on Revision 3, while the current version is Revision 8. I had integrated the File Library into my project, but it encountered difficulties during the transfer process. In addition, I am actively working on enabling the email functionality for Gmail. I believe I'm making headway with this task. To address Gmail's SSL requirement, I am utilizing the WagoLibSecureMail library. Update: I successfully got the Gmail email function operational by leveraging the WagoLibSecureMail library. Below is my code; it's quite straightforward but effectively accomplishes the task. Be sure to check out my attachments for more details!
