    Each of the major carriers has a similar email to text capability:

    mobilenumber@txt.att.net (If your mobile provider is ATT)

    mobilenumber@tmomail.net (T-Mobile)

    mobilenumber@vtext.com (Verizon)

    mobilenumber@sms.mycricket.com (Cricket)

     

    It sounds like doing it direct in Compactlogix is the cheapest option, but if you want something easier to set up and program, you can try a CLICK PLUS CPU only (C2-01CPU). You can connect over Ethernet/IP (or Modbus) and trigger logic to send emails, or MQTT Messages. An email to your mobile number @ carrier address as shown above will send the subject and body as a basic text message.

    I’ve worked with a few different solutions for this kind of setup, and as far as Automation Direct goes, they don’t have a specific module that directly sends text and emails from a CompactLogix PLC. However, you can use their NetLink or an equivalent Ethernet module to get data out, and then you could use a third-party service to forward alerts via text or email. A good option would be using an SMTP server for email alerts or looking into something like temp mobile number for text messages. It’s not a plug-and-play solution, but with a little setup, you can get it to work smoothly.
