Ping via ICMP (Internet control message protocol)...

The HMI now has a “Ping” driver. This driver can be used to ping devices that do not have other communication paths with the HMI. This allows the HMI to monitor devices and create alarms, messages, graphic changes, log entries, etc. when a device does not respond within the configured parameters.

The address to ping can be an IP address or a host name. Each “ping master” can support 100 devices and the number of masters is unlimited.

Here is a screen capture of the configuration screen.
