Hello All,
I have an 1756-L72 ControlLogix Processor (V20) with an 1756-EN2T Ethernet card. I have added a Generic Ethernet Module to talk to a device over EtherNet/IP. I am communicating with it fine. I need to detect if the I/O connection is healthy. If the unit looses power, I see the yellow triangle with exclamation mark on the Generic Ethernet Module I added in the I/O Configuration tree in the controller organizer. I also see the status of the module go from running to communication timeout. The message of which I/O is missing also scrolls across the message display on the processor. All these things are great but I need a bit i can monitor that I can use to set an alarm to the operator. Is there a way to get the connection faulted status of a Generic Ethernet Module into the PLC register?
Thanks,
Lovell
