VBScript to verify PC connection on Comfort panels

MN_Blue Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	Hello everyone! I am trying to verify a connection to a remote PC from a comfort panel before I retreive data from the PC andsend archive files to it. In testing I did a simple shell operation with a Ping command but that doesn't appear to function in the comfort panels. I did notice that the panels have pocketcmd instead of the cmd window. Does anyone know how to get a ping type test to verify a connection? strComputer="192.168.0.22" Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") PINGFlag = Not CBool(WshShell.Run("ping -n 1 " & strComputer,0,True)) If PINGFlag = True Then SetBit "PC_Connection" Else ResetBit "PC_Connection" End If Thanks for your help!

How do you integrate an HMI operator panel into a local network? Now you can use the function "dir" in a script and check if you can access to the shared folder on your pc.. I found an old link of ProTool of this. checking the Ethernet connection with WinCE panels (except the 170 series) Tweety
