Watchdog
Contents

1.Description

This module checks if a telegram has arrived within a certain time. If this is the case, the monitoring cycle starts again. Output 1 and Output 2 sends a telegram when the specified monitoring cycle time has expired. The reset input waits for a signal. If no signal is received within the cycle time, a 1 is sent to output 1 and a 0 to output 2 at the end of the cycle time. If the monitoring cycle has expired once, the watchdog module can be activated again via an ON telegram on the reset input or the switch on/off input.
