This is a sample dedicated to digital devices with a fail-safe function.
Refer to this sample for how to use the advanced function "Fail-safe
Function".
Use the utility software (CONTEC Device Utility) to set the fail-safe function
itself.
Due to the characteristics
of this sample, even if an error occurs, it does not end and displays
the error in "Error Out" and continues.
When you want to stop, click the "Stop" button to exit
the loop.
Depending on the product you
are using and the communication status, it may take some time to generate
an error such as a timeout.
In this case, please note that the VI cannot be operated for a while.
If you press the "Stop" button and wait, the VI will exit
after an error occurs.
If an "Invalid ID has
been specified" error occurs, initialization has failed, and
recovery will not be possible even if it is executed as is.
Click the "Stop" button to end the sample, check the communication
to the target device with Ping etc. and try again.
Also, make sure that the device name (DeviceName) matches.
