Hello folks

I have a small ControlNet network that I would like to monitor for communications faults. If a rack (5) faults or looses comms. I would like to turn off all the output on a card. Anybody have some ideas? We call them Safety Outputs they are NOT they are status bits to and from a Banner Safety Controller just talking, NOT any safety rated communications.

Is the card you want to turn all outputs off installed in the rack which has lost comms? If so, you need to configure the module to do what you want on comms loss. If the outputs are on a different rack, use the following logic to monitor comms.
