Step 3: Define watchdog times
43004
Safe cross communication and safe fieldbus communication are monitored by means of watchdogs.
Sufficiently long watchdog times have to be selected.
► Determine the watchdog times on the basis of the maximum response times of the safety function
measured ins step 2. ifm recommends the following formulas:
safe cross communication: T(WD_SafetyNetVars) = 2*T(tMaxRespTimeMS)
safe fieldbus communication: T(WD_FSoE) = 2*T(tMaxRespTimeMS)
► Set watchdog times (
Set variable components of the response time
