WATCHDOG TIMER SECTION 11
Page 11-1 RPC-330
DESCRIPTION
The watchdog timer is used to reset the RPC-330 if the
program or CPU "crashes". The timer is built into the
80C320 CPU. Timed access requirem ents built into the
CPU make it high ly unlikely an er rant pr ocessor would
cancel a watchdog timer.
The watchdog should not be used in loops which do not
end quickly or are of indeterminate duration unless a
WDOG command is included. An example of an
indeterminate loop is one that waits for a port condition
to change.
The timer is set by executing a WDOG n command. n is
0, 1, or 2. 0 turns off the timer. 1 sets the watch dog
time to 380 ms while 2 sets it to 2.8 seconds. Executing
WDOG by itself resets the timer. WD OG must be
executed periodically to prevent a reset.
EXTERNAL RESET
The card is reset externally by momentarily shorting
W10[1-2]. Reset is also achiev ed by shor ting W10-2 to
ground. Maintain this short for at least 10 ms. The card
will then reset for about 350 ms.
