Sending Emails

[oqu10]

I am attempting to send email from a US5 PLC using UniLogic.

My first attempts were using gmail as the from address and I was aided by many previous discussions on this forum. I have since been informed by Unitronics support that gmail is no longer supported and I am now trying again using yahoo. Here are my details:

PLC panel IP configured as 10.13.0.46.

Gateway: 10.13.0.254.

Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com:587

DNS server: 8.8.8.8.

Two factor authentication is turned off on the yahoo account.

When the Unitronics program runs it displays error code -1 which states ‘General COM Error. Please check the physical connections.’

I believe my physical connections are okay because I can ping the IP address of the PLC from my phone or laptop.

Has anyone else had success sending email with their Unitronics PLC recently? Can see you any immediate problems that might be causing this error?

Update:

It would appear that Gmail still works for sending emails with UniStream. I just needed to change the port from 587 to 465 (by using the 'Custom' Account Type).

 

Hope this helps other people too
