At power up the CAN controllers will be held in reset and will have no effect on the CAN buses. If a reset occurs during the transmission of a message CAN errors are likely to occur. Dual Port RAM (DPR) will contain no information at power up but will be accessible by the PC. A reset during operation will cause the DPR to stay in its current state.
Digital Outputs
All of the digital outputs are inactive on power up regardless of their polarity. They will return to the inactive state whenever a reset occurs.
Analog Outputs
All analog outputs are set to 0V by hardware during
Stepper/Encoder ASICs
The stepper/encoder ASICs will not generate stepper pulses or register any encoder input during reset. If the unit goes into reset all position data will be lost.
4.8.1 System watchdog
The system watchdog provides hardware protection in the event of a firmware or embedded ‘C’ program malfunction. If the system watchdog is not updated, the controller is put into the software reset state. It may be disabled during embedded code development and debugging.
