The Watchdog Control check box allows Enable/Disable of the Communica-

to a safe state, in case the PROFIBUS communication stops. The Watchdog
will be Enabled by default, and it is recommended to leave it Enabled.
Note The Watchdog timeout Interval is defined by the PROFIBUS Master DTM and
depends on the Bus parameters as well as on the total amount of Slave
devices on the network.
