cRIO TCP/IP Re-establish communication

[gvagenas]

Hello everyone. I have a cRIO communicating with my PC through the TCP/IP protocol to send and receive some data. I want the connection (through the ethernet cable) to be re-established, in case the connection is lost (for example internet connection is lost or the ethernet cable is off). It works by default for a specific amount of time (a few seconds), but there seem to be a problem when the connection is off for a long time (a minute or more). Any ideas?

Use a State Machine.  Start in the Connect state and repeat until a connection is made.  Then progress to the Run state.  If an error is detected, go to the Disconnect state and then back to the Connect state.

Thank you a lot for your quick reply. I have two VIs, one under My Computer and one under my device. Should I implement it on both VIs? Thank you.

That is what I do.
