SP7 RECONNECT

[anderg]

Hello

I am communicating a cRIO with a siemens PLC using SP7 toolkit correctly.

When a hardware change is done in the PLC or for some reason the PLC is stopped, the communication between them is broken and i have to restart also the cRIO.

There is any way to reconnect automatically the connection when it is lost?

Regards

Hello,

that is a standard question for all instrument communications and the standard answer is usually the same:

You have to react to the communication error in your program code and decide for yourself how and when you put a reconnection trial inside your program.

There is no method in the SP7 API that does such a reconnect for you automatically.
