Appendix A Using Watchdog Timer & Isolated DIO Nuvo-3100 series provide a watchdog (WDT) timer function to ensure a more reliable system operation. The WDT is a hardware mechanism to reset the system if the watchdog timer is expired. Users can start the WDT and keeping resetting the timer to make sure the system or program is running.
Using DIO Function Wiring for DIO The digital input function of Nuvo-3100 series is implemented using a photo-coupler with a internally series-connected 2.4kΩ resistor. You need to provide a voltage to specify the logic high/low state. The input voltage for logic high is 5~24V, and the input voltage for logic low is 0~1.5V.
Read a single channel of isolated digital input. Parameter BYTE value specifies the DI channel to be read. For Nuvo-3100 series, ch should be a value of 0 ~ 3. Return Value The status (TRUE or FALSE) of the specified DI channel.
Write a single channel of isolated digital output. Parameter BYTE value specifies the DO channel to be written. For Nuvo-3100 series, ch should be a value of 0 ~ 3. value BOOL value (TRUE or FALSE) specifies the status of DO channel.
Note that this function is not returned until the DO register is checked and identical to the written value. Parameter BYTE value specifies the DO channel to be written. For Nuvo-3100 series, ch should be a value of 0 ~ 3. value BOOL value (TRUE or FALSE) specifies the status of DO channel. Return Value...
