TC_Restart

TC_Restart 1:

The function block "TC_Restart" can be used to restart the TwinCAT system. The function corresponds to the Restart command on the TwinCAT system menu (on the right of the Windows taskbar). Restarting the TwinCAT system involves the TwinCAT system first being stopped, and then immediately started again.
