    6. Appendix Watch-Dog-Timer The watchdog timer serves as a safeguard against possible system lock-up in your industrial computer system. In most industrial environments, there are heavy equipment, generators, high-voltage power lines, or power drops that have adverse effects on your computer system. For instance, when a power drop occurs, it could cause the CPU to come to a halt state or enter into an infinite loop, resulting in a system lock-up.
