The Watchdog Time, Delta Ttr and other parameters can only be edited by
selecting the User-Defined profile.
When the "Hot Standby System" checkbox is marked, the PCB Master
configuration tool follows the rules below:
Parameter Calculation
Ttr is to be doubled in order to support one "passive" and one "active" Hot
Standby Master on the same network. Note that the Watchdog value also must
be recalculated because of the doubled Ttr.
To allow a switchover the Watchdog value that is calculated from the Ttr must be
increased. Two new parameters are introduced: HsbyWatchdogFactor and Host
Delay Time. The watchdog is calculated according to the following equation:
Watchdog = (Calculated watchdog * HsbyWatchdogFactor) + Host Delay Time
The HsbyWatchdogFactor for different baud rates is defined in the following
table:

The Host Delay Time is set to 300 ms in the PCB Master configuration.
Invalid Master addresses:
1 The Master address must not equal 0.
