12.2 Resetting of the Watchdog Timer
Resets the watchdog timer when the END/FEND instruction is executed. When the CPU module operates normally and
executes the END/FEND instruction within the watchdog timer setting, the time of the watchdog timer will not time up. If the
END/FEND instruction cannot be executed within the watchdog timer setting due to increased program execution as a result
of hardware error or interrupt in the CPU module, the time of the watchdog timer will time up.
