Ping

INTRODUCTION

This component lets you send a ping to a specific IP address on the local network. If the ping does not return within the set time, the ping status component changes value.

Control interval [s]: This parameter indicates the wait time between pings;

Timeout [s]: Timeout period that is triggered when the ping fails;

Result: Connect a Switch component, Colored info or Text info that represents the ping status (ON if the ping is successful, OFF if it fails).
