[IOServer]WatchDog

Determines whether Plant SCADA periodically checks the communication connection to your standby I/O devices.

If you set this parameter to 1, Plant SCADA will check the Standby devices every watch time (as specified by the WatchTime parameter of the device driver). If you set this parameter to 0, this periodic checking is disabled, but Plant SCADA will still communicate with the I/O device on startup to verify that the connection is valid.

Note: If you disable periodic checking, you will not receive a hardware error if the standby I/O device becomes inoperative when Plant SCADA is communicating with the Primary.

Allowable Values:

• 0 - disables Watch Dog functionality for standby I/O devices

• 1 - enables Watch Dog functionality for standby I/O devices

Default Value:

1
