Analysis network status

The actual network status can be analyzed with the PLC program by the function 'FuiGetNetStatus' (uichannel:=2, uiAxis:=0).

Status:

Bit 0 = Ethernet/IP adapter initialization completed without errors (ready for operation)

Bit 1 = 'Pre-operational'

Bit 2 = Error

Bit 4 = 'Operational' mode is active
