#179637 - WDT failure
Responding to: ???'s previous message
What happens if the internal watchdog timer does not operate properly in a system, if it gets corrupted, or goes faulty. what should i do to prevent tis. I want to build a redundant system where i need to take care of WDT failure.
Luminary 5000 series have 2 WDT in the architecture,
I want to implement it in a highly redundant double or triple modular system, but first i want to solve WDT problem. Changing controller may not be solution.
This is a very rare case, may or maynot happen n life time of controller but my requirement needs it
