Watchdog

If communication is interrupted a watchdog deactivates the EL2502 outputs after 100 ms (default) (see index 0x8000:05 or 0x8010:05 in the CoE directory of the terminal [Can over EtherCAT]). In addition a defined output value can be assigned to the outputs (index 0x8000:13 or 0x8010:13).
The watchdog time can be changed outside the CoE list via the terminal setting in the EtherCAT master (System Manager).
A ramp (index 0x8000:14 or 0x8010:14) is parameterizable in the watchdog: If the watchdog is triggered, the outputs are not immediately moved to the target duty factor from 0x80n0:13, but the values are changed linearly from the current output value [digit/ms] up to the target value. This is then retained.

Note

Watchdog parameterization can trigger unintended actions!
