I want to determine status of DP connection in D435. Is it possible? I have searched forum but every one seem to run D435 and PLC connection as master<->master configuration. Peter

This is a basic heartbeat solution. counter:=counter+1; On the PLC side, have a timer set for every 50ms or (or whatever you want) to store the counter valuecoming over from simotion to a variable andstoring the old value to another variable. Then do a compare of these values. If they are the same, you know you have either lost communication or simotion is in stop.
