Watchdog timer and emergency stop

Watchdog timer and emergency stop was created by csar4231
Hi, I would like to put the emergency stop command ( !EX) when watchdog timer is triggered. I have read that it is possible with a script,
Do you have an example?

Thanks

Hi,

I am afraid this is not possible via script. There is no interface to let you know whether the controller watchdog has expired.

I would suggest to make a keep-alive mechanism using the scripting. By sending the motor command, send also a counter value in VAR 1 and validate via script using a counter there as well.
