Master | If the master requests "Guarding" messages on a strictly cyclical basis, the slave |
Monitoring | can detect a master failure. |
| If the slave does not receive a request from the master within the defined |
| interval ("Guarding" error), it considers that a master failure has occurred |
| ("Watchdog" function). |
| In this case, the corresponding outputs go into fallback mode and the slave switches |
| back into |
"Guarding" Protocol
WARNING
RISK OF UNINTENDED DEVICE OPERATION
An unexpected change in state to
Depending on the configuration of the slave’s inputs and outputs, this change in state may result in unintended device operation or in bodily injury or equipment damage. The person in charge of configuring the system is fully responsible for the configuration of the slave inputs/outputs and must ensure secure fallback operations in the event of a loss of master/slave communication. The person in charge of the configuration must also take all necessary steps to ensure equipment and personnel safety should it prove impossible to secure the fallback operations.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
Note: Even if the monitoring function over time is disabled

Then, the ''Toggle'' bit changes in each subsequent ''Guarding'' message, which makes it possible to indicate if a message has been lost.
