Reset Watchdog

Text Language Definition

Procedure ResetWatchdog;

Description

The Reset Watchdog command restores the controller to an operating condition from a latched Watchdog Has Tripped shutdown condition. If the conditions that caused the watchdog to trip are not remedied before Reset Watchdog is used then Reset Watchdog will escape. The Initialize procedure in the standard.inc library calls Reset Watchdog when the program first starts. There should only be a need to use this command if the EStop signal can be tripped during machine operation.

Escapes

If the conditions that caused the watchdog to trip are not remedied, ResetWatchdog will generate a Watchdog Failed To Reset Escape Code.

Examples

This example shows how to use a TryRecover in order to handle ResetWatchdog generating an escape.
