After boot Blue light stays on

[AndroidzZ]

Hello,

I had sometrouble with the ctrlX CORE. I created a clean PLC project and placed the FB IL_Ping inside of it ( i wanted to check connection to the outside), see:

 (Ip adres is of an NTP server)

After the download the response of the FB was: The remote device has not answered 

When i tried to go offline the button did not respond. The webinterface of the CORE was also not 100% responsive, for example: 

I pressed the PLC app button on the side, it opened the page but didnt show anything.

I tried to adjust some IP setting, i could change the settings but the save button didn't do anything. After a couple of more tries i Rebooted the system. Now when rebooted the core First lights up red, than flashing blue and last it stays blue. The webinterface tells met The app is curently not availible, so the core cant be reached. 

I'm gonna do i factory reset and download the program again, see if the problem reoccurs.

Anything else i might have missed or how the core could be stuck in boot?

Please check if PLC watchdog is active so the system cannot get overloaded by not correctly working function blocks.

Further I would suggest to use the CXA_SocketComm library that is available in standard to do such stuff:

Watchdog was active and set to 2000ms.

for the Ping Function I did use the CXA_SocketComm library

Do you mind to operate with the asynconous type..

At the time factory reset seemed like the only option.
