Watchdog

Enable the watchdog function by selecting a type:

  • I/O bus watchdog

    Watchdog function for attached modules. If an error occurs on the I/O bus that would prevent data acquisition from continuing, this watchdog triggers immediately. This means that data acquisition is stopped, the I/O bus is reset, and data acquisition is then restarted.

    Only one attempt is made to reset the I/O bus. If the error persists after this, the system remains in error mode.

  • System watchdog

    Watchdog function to ensure that the ibaPDA server is running. When this watchdog triggers, the operating system will restart the entire system.

    The system watchdog function includes the I/O bus watchdog function.

Watchdog time

Time delay for the system watchdog function in seconds, minimum 1 s, in increments of 0.5 s.
