Yes, I believe you can do this via the e!COCKPIT/CoDeSys3.5 library/functionblock WagoAppConfigTool =\> FbConfigTool. This functionblock is able to remotecontrol scripts located in the Linux platform (/etc/config-tools/…), e.g. the script used to command reboot. WagoAppConfigTool also contains several premade functionblocks that are per-connected to designated scripts.

Hello,  
I guess you could also create a script in the PFC with

> /etc/init.d/codesys stop && /etc/init.d/codesys start

(You could add some more control here)

You can call this script from crontab
