menu item and the following window appears:
Global:
Clicking on the Global button will return the user to the main I/O Control dialog window.
CPU Monitor Timeout (ms):
This option is used to make the I/O fail safe if the main CPU stops working. The
main CPU controls communication, IODB and code written in C. If the main CPU stops working, the I/O
processor will detect that in the time defined in this field. Suggested timeouts are 1000ms to 10000ms.
Timeouts faster then 100ms are not recommended. The maximum allowed timeout value is
0xFFFF(65535ms).
Setting this value to 0 will disable the feature. The default value for this field is 0 (Timeout Disabled).
Select the “Timeout Actions” field to define what the I/O should do when a CPU timeout occurs.
Timeout Actions:
When a timeout to the CPU occurs, the selected “Timeout Action” will take effect.
