I have a system that will disconnect/reconnect some DeviceNet nodes on the fly, so I'd like to verify connection state.
My IO variable returns a warning when it's disconnected, but the warning doesn't clear out on reconnection.
Is there a way to clear the warning? Switching temporarily to configuration state didn't work.
If not, is there some other programmatic way of monitoring connected state? I know that there's a project feature
to look at it, but that doesn't help in my LabVIEW code. It's lame, but I could use explicit messaging to poll I think.

Sorry for the late reply. I guess the support team missed this one.
For this device unfortunately the only way to querry the status is to use the functionblock end explicit messaging.
However I would expect the warning to clear as soon as the device communicates again. I will check with the development team and come back on this one as soon as I have something.
