2. The watchdog timer time can be changed.
→ For details on changing watchdog timer time, refer to Subsection 37.2.2.
By overwriting the contents of D8000 (watchdog timer time), the watchdog timer detection time (initial value: 200 ms)
can be changed.
By inputting the program shown below, the sequence program after this insertion is monitored by a new watchdog
timer time.
Program examples
1. When the operation cycle is long and causes an error
For example, by dividing a program whose operation cycle is 240 ms into two portions and inserting WDT instruction
between them, the operation cycle becomes less than 200 ms in both the former half portion and the latter half portion.
2. When a label (P) of CJ instruction is located in a step number smaller than the step number of CJ
instruction
Put WDT instruction after the label (P).
If an input relay (X) is used as the command
contact, input refresh is disabled, so the
program execution cannot be returned from
the area between P and CJ.
As the command contact, use such device
that can be set to OFF in a program being
jumped.
3. When FOR/NEXT instruction is repeated many times
Put WDT instruction between FOR and NEXT instructions.
