Red Lion CR3000, Remote reboot possible?

[TopperAce]

Hello All,
I need the ability to remotely reboot a Red Lion CR3000 HMI. Due to some graphics issues when the database is updated the HMI must be rebooted to display properly. This is fine when a local operator is standing by but a pain in the ass when this is done remotely. So the ability to reboot this device, say middle of the night when these updates are normally done would be a great addition. Any ideas on how this could be accomplished?

I've used a web relay to remotely power-reset AC powered devices, via a web browser, when an I/P address is available for a web relay and there's DC power to power the web relay. The web relay switches AC power with its internal electromechanical relay.

I think the CR3000s have the full Redlion scripting language available.
If so have a look in the Scripting language reference guide:

https://www.redlion.net/sites/default/files/Crimson%203.1%20Reference%20Manual%20%28LP1045F%29%201.6MB.pdf

Look for CommitAndReset on page 41, it does what you are asking. I trigger it from a screen button that only shows when I use my log in, or I could use a script triggered by a PLC tag.

Thanks Bryan, I'm going to try that out.
