Configuring the watchdog
The monitoring function "Watchdog" (device-specific) allows you to check whether a station
is still operational.
The watchdog can be enabled or disabled ("Enable watchdog" option). If the watchdog is
enabled, it will be called up repeatedly at the times set under "Interval." The "Reset on" option
indicates whether a hardware reset will be performed when the watchdog is run (for
example, if the operating system crashes or the PC cannot be operated).
Note
Alarms
An alarm is triggered if the watchdog cannot be triggered within the specified interval. See:
Display of Alarms (Page 22).

proceed as follows:

2. Uninstall the monitoring software "SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor" or "SIMATIC IPC DiagBase" and
then reinstall the software.
Configuring the watchdog

2. In the list view in the right-hand pane of the window, select the watchdog by double clicking
on it.
3. In the "Timeout value" box, you can set the time after which the activated watchdog is
restarted.
4. In the field "Software delay", a time delay for running the reset type (e.g. restart) can be set.
