Netlinx code to reboot master

prime95 · June 2008

Occasionally a power failure puts my Netlinx system in a bad state. Until I can nail the bug (s), I'd like to add a button on a secret touchpad screen that reboots the master.

The problem is: Can someone provide the source code snipet that reboots the master?

Thanks

It's pretty straight forward.

reboot(0)

This sends a reboot command to device 0 - the master. BTW - you can reboot a touch panel if you specify it's device number rather than the master device number.

Thanks. My usual trick of finding what I need from the Netlinx keywords help didn't work this time.

Just out of habit I also reboot my panel any time the master is rebooted. I had a couple of cases last year that the panel would work but the feedback would not if the master was rebooted.
