To get the current RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) Player status

• To get the current status of an RTU Player instance, issue a GET using the following URL format:

  http://localhost:<portnumber>/Simulation/Status

  Where:

  • portnumber is the port specified in the RTU Player configuration file.

  Note: The command will return "working" as an http response if the player instance is active. If the player instance is not active, no response will be received from the request.
