Time delay relays have timer circuits that control the opening or closing of contacts in a device so they can turn equipment on or off at specific times. Watchdog timer modules use patented digital or analog timing technology to monitor control system integrity by monitoring the control system s activity by detecting on off transitions of a control line.

In plcs watchdog timers are typically involved with the program scan part of the system. The watchdog timer is especially useful for monitoring of computer systems. That is they monitor how long it takes for the processor to scan through the program. During normal operation the watchdog s internal timer is continually reset by control line activity and its output relay remains energized.

This will power up the watchdog relay and the plc instruments but since no heartbeat pulse is configured the form c relay will be deactivated after the boot delay time expires. If a computer is being used to control a critical process it is usually recommended to have an automatic alarm to detect computer lockup an abnormal halting of program execution due to any number of causes. During normal operation the computer regularly resets the watchdog timer to prevent it from elapsing or timing out. Using an adapter plate you can also mount it for standalone use.

If due to a hardware fault or program error the computer fails to reset the. Since 1988 brentek international has been designing and building watchdog timers standard and custom i o modules pulse timing modules i o racks and i o rack adapters to solve difficult industrial controls applications. Brentek has complete design engineering and manufacturing capabilities in its pennsylvania facilities. The contacts are rated at 24vdc 1 0 a.

Bulletin 700 ps solid state timing relays are accurate solid state timers that can be mounted on 4 pole bulletin 700 p pk r or rm relays and on 2 pole bulletin 700 ph relays. If it exceeds some pre set limit the timer sends a signal to the plc processor to stop the program until the problem is corrected. Press the bypass button to enable bypass mode. Apply power to the watchdog relay power input and the form c relay that will power the plc instruments.
