5.2 Resetting of the watchdog timer
Resets the watchdog timer when the END/FEND instruction is executed. When the CPU module operates normally and
executes the END/FEND instruction within the watchdog timer setting, the time of the watchdog timer will not time up. If the
END/FEND instruction cannot be executed within the watchdog timer setting due to increased program execution as a result
of hardware error or interrupt in the CPU module, the time of the watchdog timer will time up.
5.3 Precautions
The following precautions relate to the scan monitoring function.
Watchdog timer reset when executing a program repeatedly
The watchdog timer can be reset by executing the WDT instruction in a program. If the time of the watchdog timer is up while
executing a program repeatedly by the FOR instruction and NEXT instruction, use the WDT instruction to reset the watchdog
timer.
