Watchdog and Jabber Inhibit
A watchdog timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the firmware does not
kick the watchdog within the timeout period the watchdog times out and generates a fatal
error (see page 43) with error code D1. In master mode, the module stops scanning and
stops communicating with the ControlLogix.
A jabber inhibit timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the bus transmitter is
on longer than 150% of the longest frame time, the jabber inhibit forces the transmitter
off and generates a fatal error (see page 43) with error code D0. In master mode, the
module stops scanning and stops communicating with the ControlLogix.
