Can I power down fieldpoint devices if pc crashes?

Solved!
Go to solution

I am running a labview 8.6 application which controls several fieldpoint units these units are used among other things to switch on 3 phase power to drive a motor. If windows or the application locks up or crashes or if the user for some reason hits CTRL>ALT>DEL or just switches off the PC the fieldpoint devices are left powered up thus leaving the 3 phase supply on! How do I ensure that if the any of these situations occur the fieldpoint devices are powered down ans 3 phase power is switched off?
