Reboots a networked RT Series device on the local subnet or remote subnet. You must provide the MAC address of the networked device. You can find the MAC address of the networked device using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) or the RT Ping Controllers VI. The VI supports the following use cases:

  • Run VI on RT target—RT target reboots. You must provide the MAC address of the RT target.
  • Run VI on the host computer to reboot RT target on local subnet—RT target reboots. You must provide the MAC address of the RT target.
  • Run VI on the host computer to reboot RT target on remote subnet—RT target reboots. You must provide the MAC address of the RT target and the IP address of the target using the system location input.

system location is a cluster of controls that specifies the IP address of networked devices on remote subnets. You must remove the checkmark from the local subnet check box and enter an IP address in the IP address text box to specify an RT target on a remote subnet.
local subnet? is a Boolean control that you must set to FALSE if the networked device is not on the local subnet.
IP address is the IP address of the networked device.
MAC address is the MAC address of the networked device.
error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
