Is there a way to monitor the connection status of the gripper?  We want to place this in a thread so we can monitor real time the connection to the gripper to identify issues if they occur. 

I'd be willing to use a modbus register if we need to for this to work. 

Hi Matthew,

There is no function to monitor the connection status of the gripper. 
The first thing that came to my mind is to use rq_is_gripper_activated function. The answer should be true as long as there is no connection issue but i never tried it to monitor the status real time. I'll do some test tomorrow morning.
