The "Heartbeat" Error Monitoring Protocol

Operation of

The default monitoring method is "Node-Guarding". If a non-zero value is written in

"Heartbeat"

the object 1017H, the "Heartbeat" mechanism is used.

Mechanism

If the Heartbeat error monitoring protocol is selected, the producer transmits a

 

 

"Heartbeat" message periodically, depending on the "Producer Hearbeat Time"

 

parameter.

 

The devices responsible for monitoring this message ("Heartbeat Consumer")

 

generate a "HeartBeat" event if the message is not received in the configured time

 

("Consumer Heartbeat Time").

 

 

 

Note: The simultaneous use of both monitoring methods, "Guarding" and

 

"Heartbeat", is impossible. Should both methods be activated at once, the

 

equipment will only use the "Heartbeat" monitoring method.

Meaning of

 

 

The "Heartbeat" message indicates that the device status is one byte long and is

formatted as follows:

The most significant bit is reserved and always has a value of 0

￿The 7 least significant bits provide the status for the device producing the "Heartbeat" message.
