Which server am I connected to?

Hi Michael,

MsgRPC calls can only return information when set to blocking. To be able to display this information, you could run a cicode function on the I/O server that writes the information to a Variable Tag at certain intervals:

FUNCTION MyIODeviceInfoLoop(STRING sIODevice, STRING sTagName)

STRING sActiveServer;

STRING sNumberOfErrors;

WHILE TRUE DO

sActiveServer = IODeviceInfo(sIODevice, 17);

IF ProcessIsServer("IOServer", "", sActiveServer) THEN

// We are the active I/O server for this I/O device

sNumberOfErrors = IODeviceInfo(sIODevice, 20);

TagWrite(sTagName, sNumberOfErrors);

END

SleepMS(1000);  // Update the info every second

END

END

You can start this function on both I/O servers using:

TaskNew("MyIODeviceInfoLoop", "^"Device^", ^"DeviceInfoTag^"", 8);

assuming your I/O device is called "Device" and the tag you like to display is called "DeviceInfoTag".

Best regards,

Patrick
