Compact Powerflex 700 Question

Actually I have 2 questions. First in compact how do I monitor my I/O state. When the I/O light is blinking meaning something is not working how can I see this in my program?

Next question is specific to Powerflex 700. I want to see when I lose ethernet to a specific drive. Is there a status bit that will tell me this?

I have the flex I/O figured out but do not see a similar setup for the drives

I am using a 1768-L43 CPU with a 1768-ENBTA ehternet bridge going to a ethernet switch to the drive and flex I/O The drive is a Pwerflex 700 VC

I have never done this with the compactligix, but i imagine its the same. You will need to use the GSV instruction. If you browse the Rockwell website, they have exaple programs for doing just what you are asking.
