FactoryTalk View Studio Site Edition | RSlinx Connection Status Animation | Batching PLC Day-13

How to monitor the connection status in FactoryTalk Linx using a simple method in FactoryTalk View Studio Site Edition.

An effective way to check to see if your communications are live & if not then you can trigger an HMI animation to alert someone.

This is day 13 of the Batching Station plc training that we are doing, it is important to note that we have to slow down & pay attention to detail to really learn & care about our future growth.

It is up t us to learn, implement, & succeed so this is why we try to teach plc & HMI controls.
