    Load Optimized Defaults loads the default system values directly from ROM. If the stored record created by the Setup program should ever become corrupted (and therefore unusable), these defaults will load auto- matically when you turn the PPC-L126 system on.

  • Page 111: Watchdog Timer

    Programming the Watchdog Timer The PPC-L126 is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.

  • Page 112: Appendix A Programming The Watchdog Timer

    After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewrit- ing the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 443 (hex). PPC-L126 User’s Manual...
