I have a RIO (MM1001-10) and I’m having some issues related with the Watchdog for I/O.
I have a relay wired to CH 9, and if the RIO/channel loses communication I would like for the relay to turn on.
My issue arises when I have a PAC strategy running with the RIO as an I/O device.
Everytime the watchdog activates and flips the relay, all my watchdog settings are reset back to the default.
I can only get this to happen when the watchdog actually activates. Downloading the strategy, starting the strategy, or disabling/enabling comms in PAC Control does not cause the issue.
If I test it without the PAC strategy running and purposefully remove comms from the RIO and force the watchdog to activate, my settings are not cleared and it seems to function as intended.
Here is the settings that I’ve configured multiple times:
Just set the watchdog in PAC Control, not in groov Manage. (ie, just in one place, not two - I wonder if they are conflicting with each other having two watchdogs).
