Signs of Life<br />

NGW 11 Signal Watchdog Relay<br />

The signal watchdog is an economical alternative to complex failure<br />

detection systems, such as a controller configured as a guarding<br />

master in a CANopen field bus.<br />

Lifeguarding<br />

The relay monitors machines and controllers<br />

for stoppage and failure. The relay<br />

registers whether the application is sending<br />

cyclical signals whose pulse and pause<br />

lengths do not exceed a set time. If the pulses<br />

or pauses are too long the relay output<br />

shuts down and can only be switched on<br />

again after the auxiliary voltage has been<br />

switched off and on again and the cyclical<br />

signals have resumed. This ensures that as<br />

well as total failure, intermittent faults are<br />

also detected.<br />

Function code 14<br />

Signal watchdog, with auxiliary supply<br />

Method of Function<br />

When the excitation variable (B1-A2) is<br />

switched on and the auxiliary supply<br />

(A1-A2) is also on, the timed changeover<br />

contact switches to operated condition<br />

and the countdown starts. The countdown<br />

restarts each time the excitation variable<br />

is switched off and on during the delay<br />

time.<br />

Nodeguarding<br />

The relay output is fed back to allow the<br />

controller to monitor the relay for functional<br />

readiness, cable breakage and short-circuit.<br />

• Available time ranges:<br />

0.5 to 10 s / 1.5 to 30 s / 5 to 100 s<br />

• Contact equipment: 1 changeover contact<br />

• Excitation variable and contact monitored<br />

via LEDs<br />

If the break or make time of the excitation<br />

variable is longer than the delay time t,<br />

the timed changeover contact switches to<br />

normal condition and stays there even if<br />

the excitation variable is switched on again.<br />

The timed changeover contact switches to<br />

normal condition immediately when the<br />

auxiliary supply is switched off.<br />
