    Hello Hector Manuel Padilla,

    to verify the TCP/IP connection you can use diffrent options:

    1. Verify the connection via "ping IP-address" in ssh-session (Terminal), manually.
    2. If you are using the PN-Controller an PN-Protocol, you can use the System-Variable "PND_S1_VALID_DATA_CYCLE" (PROFINET® controller has established the connection). Please find details in PLCnext InfoCenter: System variables - PROFINET (plcnext.help)
    3. You can Implement your own "Keep-Alive"-Program and send the TCP-IP-Telegramm in user defined intervalls.
    4. It is also possible to use the "PLCnextBase" to execute the command in Linux-Shell : PLCnext Store | PLCnextBase

    I hope, I could help you, if not please let me know.

    BR Eduard
