3.10 Watchdog(software)
The hardware watchdog provides maximum safety. For uncritical applications, a
software watchdog may be adequate, whereby the processor monitors itself and
the CPU is restarted in the event of a faulty function or a loop.
The core of the software watchdog is the AWL command SYSWR K 1000, which is
also used in the FBox “Software Watchdog”.
Function
The watchdog function is activated when this is output for the rst time. This in-
struction must then be output a minimum of every 200 ms, otherwise the watchdog
will be triggered and the PCD will be restarted.

“XOB0”Call-upsareenteredinthePCDhistoryasfollows:
“XOB 0 WDOG START” if XOB 0 was triggered by the Software Watchdog
“XOB 0 START EXEC” if XOB 0 was triggered by a supply error
