The WatchDog system object
The WatchDog system object can be included as an option. The WatchDog indicates to the
CPU program whether the communication between CPU and local TIM is still working; in
other words, whether TD7onTIM is still reading from and writing to the memory areas of the
CPU. As long as communication is functioning correctly, a selectable output bit changes
state at five second intervals. The constant status change can be evaluated by the CPU user
program.
Parameters in the
