Hi everyone,

Is there a library or a way to develop a FB that “pings” a device and in case that the device disconnects a bool output enables.

Thanks,
BG.

Thanks, by any chance to you have the especific command so I could have a return in case the device is not reachable. I tried using ‘start ping ipaddress’ and just have the process ID as a return and in case it desconnects the FB does not returns an error.
