Setting the reaction time

The reaction time is the time between detecting a communication interruption and the reaction of the watchdog: If a watchdog detects a communication interruption, it waits for the reaction time to elapse before taking control of the analog outputs.

You can set the reaction time individually for each watchdog.

Select reaction times that are long enough to prevent the watchdogs from reacting even to very short, temporary communication interruptions.

The reaction times are calculated with this equation:

 

Setting the reaction time 1:

tr : Reaction time of a watchdog

mw : Watchdog multiplier

mb : Base multiplier (factory setting: 2498dec)

Setting the reaction time 2:
