Appendix C. Modbus Application Notes
C.1. Dual Watchdog
Dual Watchdog consists of Module Watchdog and Host Watchdog.
1. The Module Watchdog is a built-in hardware circuit that will reset the CPU module
if a failure occurs in either the hardware or the software. If the application does not
refresh the watchdog timer within 0.8 seconds, the watchdog circuit will initiate a
reset of the CPU.
2. The Host Watchdog is a
software function that can
be used to monitor the
operating status of the
host. Its purpose is to
prevent network
communication problems
or a host failure. If the
Watchdog timeout interval
expires, the module will
return all outputs to a
predefined Safe value
(Refer to the Safe Value
application note), which
can prevent the controlled
target from unexpected
situation.
AO address 40557 of the ET-7000/PET-7000 series Modbus register is the address of
the Host Watchdog timer, and will be stored into EEPROM. The WDT function will be
disabled if the value is set to less than 5 seconds.
