No. Condition
5 In the N2_EIP_Comm1Status.TargetPLCErr[255] (CIP Communications1 T
arget PLC
Error Information) variable, the bit corresponding to the target node address is FALSE.
When you want to use the Target Node Controller Error Flag, the Controller status
must be included in the tag sets for both the originator and target. Include the Control-
ler status by using the Network Configurator to select the Include Option in the Edit
Tag Set Dialog Box.

Programming Example for Normal Operation Detection
The following program can be used to confirm that normal communications are being performed for
each target node. If the Controller status is included in the tag data, the status of the Controller can
also be detected.
