Sending Controller Generated Emails<br />
The email interface used in the previous section is great for testing the mail server <strong>and</strong><br />
may, from time to time, prevent a user from having to open a separate email client.<br />
However, the greatest benefit of the embedded email client is that it allows our control<br />
system to send email messages.<br />

32. On the left side of the screen, right click the Data Types folder <strong>and</strong> select New<br />
String Type.<br />
The default STRING type in RSLogix 5000 is only 82 characters. Since our email<br />
messages will likely be larger than 82 characters, we need to create a larger string type.<br />
In addition, CIP messaging can support email messages of up to 474 characters.<br />
33. Edit the dialog as indicated by the image below <strong>and</strong> click OK.<br />
