Fault TAG

[SG_10481904]

Good morning,

I would like to create a tag, mentioned boolen type flip-flop, which the automation will set to 1 and I would like Kepware to automatically and immediately set to 0.

In this way I can alert the automation when communication is missing.

I found a thread that covered a similar, but still unresolved topic:

Solved: Disable tags when PLC is offline and re-activate w... - PTC Community

Thank you.

It sounds like you are describing the already built in System tag called _Error and _NoError. The _Error tag is a Boolean tag that gets triggered when the connection to the device is disrupted. Here is a link to the page in help file that covers the use of this tag:

Unfortunately, there is no tag for the server itself. A lot of users use the Server System Tag called _TimeSecond to monitor the uptime of the sever. Here is a link to the page in help file that covers this tag:
