    Only when you select a time span and enable the watchdog, will the response time be effective. When the watchdog is enabled and the "Test" button is clicked, the NO resetting signal will be periodically sent to the watchdog hardware onboard. The watchdog will suppose the machine to be deadlocked and REBOOT it after the watchdog response time.

  • Page 56: Appendix A Watchdog Timer Programming

    Appendix A Watchdog Timer Programming There is a built-in watchdog timer in the TPC-30/32 series. You can access it through the WIN32 API. TPC-30/32 panel computers provide a WDT driver to allow users to enable/disable the Watchdog timer. The driver name is “WDT1:”. Programmers must open this driver before using the resources.
  • Page 57 • lpInBuffer [in] Long pointer to a buffer that contains the data required to perform the operation.

  • Page 58: A.2.1 Ioctl _Wdt_Enable

    A.2 How to Use the Control Code There are 6 control codes for the operation codes in the WDT driver. A.2.1 IOCTL _WDT_ENABLE: Enables the Watchdog timer on your application. By default, if the Watchdog timer is enabled, the WDT driver will automatically trigger itself after the specified period and your application does not need to trig- ger the Watchdog timer in this situation.

  • Page 59: Ioctl_Wdt_Gettimeout

    A.2.4 IOCTL_WDT_GETTIMEOUT: Gets the Watchdog time setting. lpInBuffer: unused. nInBufferSize: unused. lpOutBuffer: The DWORD pointer to your Watchdog time setting. The Watchdog time setting is just a number. 0 means 2 seconds, 1 means 5 seconds, 2 means 10 seconds, 3 means 15 seconds, 4 means 30 seconds, others means 40 seconds.
