2.11.1.3 Monitoring of the Hardware Modules

The device is able to recognize location and malfunctions of hardware modules during operation. In the event
of a fault, messages „Error Board 1" (FNo. 183) to „Error Board 7" (FNo. 189) are initiated. The
module number corresponds to the address number (e.g. „Error Board 3" = address 3 = C-I/O11). For the
assignment of addresses to modules as well as slot positions of the modules in the device, please refer to the
following table.

2.11.1.4 Software Monitoring

Watchdog
For continuous monitoring of the program sequences, a time monitor is provided in the hardware (hardware
watchdog) that expires upon failure of the processor or an internal program, and causes a complete restart of
the processor system.
An additional software watchdog ensures that malfunctions during the processing of programs are discovered.
This also initiates a restart of the processor system.
If such a malfunction is not cleared by the restart, an additional restart attempt is begun. After three unsuccess-
ful restarts within a 30 second window of time, the device automatically removes itself from service and the red
„Error" LED lights up. The readiness relay drops out and indicates „device malfunction" with its normally closed
contact.
Offset Monitoring
This monitoring function checks all ring buffer data channels for corrupt offset replication of the analog/digital
transformers and the analog input paths using offset filters. Any possible offset errors are detected using DC
voltage filters and the associated samples are corrected up to a specific limit. If this limit is exceeded, an an-
nunciation is issued (191 „Error Offset") that is part of the warn group annunciation (annunciation 160).
As increased offset values affect the reliability of measurements taken, we recommend to send the device to
the OEM plant for corrective action if this annunciation continuously occurs.
