Is there an easy way to basically "ping" various ethernet nodes in RSlogix? I have a small automation cell with various cameras and barcode readers that communicate directly with my robot (so they are not configured in the RSLogix hardware tree) and I would like to display their node communication status on the HMI. In the past I've done this via a Hirshmann ethernet switch and reading the port status but this time we're using a Cisco IE-2000 switch and I cannot find any information on reading port status on it. So I was wondering if maybe there was a way to use the MSG instruction to just send a generic "Are you alive" kind of message directly to an IP address and just getting back some kind of pass/fail result.
