: incorporates a
one-bit object to
the project (“
[Heartbeat] Object to Send ‘1’
”) that will be
sent periodically with a value of “1” to notify that the device is still working (still
alive
).
Note
:
The first sending after download or bus failure takes place with a delay
of up to 255 seconds, to prevent bus overload. The following sendings match
the period set
.

objects. There are four options available, some of them with a configurable
delay:
