Watchdog
The watchdog is active under the factory settings. After the first write telegram the watchdog timer is initiated,
and is triggered each time a telegram is received from this device. A second approach, which represents a
more sensitive condition for the watchdog, is for the watchdog only to be re-triggered after each write
telegram. To do this, write a zero into register 0x1122 (default value "1").
The watchdog can be deactivated by writing a zero to offset 0x1120. The watchdog register can only be
written if the watchdog is not active. The data in this register is retained.
Watchdog register
If the watchdog timer on your slave has elapsed it can be reset by writing twice to register 0x1121. The
following must be written to the register: 0xBECF 0xAFFE. This can be done either with function 6 or with
function 16.

2byte PLC interface*
Registers in the complex terminals and Bus Terminal Controller registers can be both read and written using
the 2 byte PLC interface. The complex terminal registers are described in the associated terminal
documentation. The Bus Coupler registers can be used, for example, to read terminal bus diagnostics data,
