41 - WatchdogTime

Command

41 UINT WatchdogTime

Response

41

ST UINT WatchdogTime

Type: Set/Get

This transaction is used to change the value of the network watchdog timer. The value is entered in milliseconds (mS). The watchdog timer is used to detect a communications loss. When the time between network commands exceeds the value stored in this register, a fault is generated and the control is disabled. Each time a network command is received, the internal timer is reset to zero. The host must continuously send commands to keep the timer reset. If desired a NULL transaction can be used to reset the timer. Setting the timer to zero disables this function. The minimum time value (other than zero) is 20mS (2). The maximum value is 60S (6000). Resolution varies among product classes.

Scale/ Units: 10mS
