How to use the Watchdog with your industrial PLC

Software

You should use the Watchdog library  “#include <avr/wdt.h>” provided by Arduino in order to program our own Watchdog.

Functions:

IMPORTANT: The Ardbox PLC watchdog cannot work under 500ms. There are no limitations for M-Duino PLC.

Below you will find an example about how to use it: the Watchdog lib
