Monitoring
After receiving the DXB data the Link_Status in DXB_Status_Buf of the
corresponding Publisher is updated. In case of an error the bit Link_Error is
set. If the processing is finished without errors, the bit Data_Exist is set.
In state DATA-EXCH the links are monitored in intervals defined by the
parameterized watchdog time. After the monitoring time runs out, the
VPC3+S evaluates the Link_Status of each Publisher and updates the bit
Link_Status. The timer restarts again automatically.

To enable the monitoring of Publisher-Subscriber links the watchdog
timer must be enabled in the Set_Prm telegram. The user must check
this.
