6. Appendix Baud Rate Settings A baud rate is set by software by dividing the clock input (1.8432MHz). The baud rate in terms of hardware can be set to a maximum of 115,200 bps for SERIAL A, B. The baud rates available in practice depend on the operating environment (cable, software, etc.).
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.
