[13:31:20] <steve_stallings> The idea of a software watchdog was discussed at the 2009 EMC Fest in Wichita. At the time I suggested something similar to the hardware E-Stop safety chain.
[13:31:30] <steve_stallings> The first module in the chain would product the alternating signal that should be propagated through all modules that participate in the chain. The last module would be the HAL component that sends the signal to the hardware world outside.
[13:31:41] <steve_stallings> It is significant that the signal which gets propagated be an alternating signal, with each pass through the chain not actually changing the signal. Only the first module changes the signal. This way, if any module fails by outputting a static value, the final output will no longer alternate and the hardware device will detect the failure of the signal to alternate.
[13:31:48] <steve_stallings> Perhaps there could be a "watchdog chain server" and modules which support the watchdog function could register with the server. Older modules would simply not register and not be monitored. As usual, I have ideas, but never code anything to implement them.

[13:58:15] <mhaberler> steve_stallings: thanks for the hint
[13:59:29] <mhaberler> I did a q&d try to see how creating a charge-pump type signal in task would work: http://git.mah.priv.at/gitweb/emc2-dev.git/shortlog/refs/heads/task-charge-pump (please got through the top 3 commit messages)
[13:59:42] <mhaberler> however this is output-only
[14:01:17] <mhaberler> mirorring an input pin is straightforward - it is questionable wether the signal repeated at ca 20-30Hz by task would be still of much value
[14:02:43] <mhaberler> with the userland tasks it is probably asking too much to assume it can roughly reproduce an input signal of more than 10Hz
[14:04:22] -!- Valen has quit [Client Quit]
[14:04:45] <mhaberler> I would more look into a parallel watchdog component able to monitor several userland components
[14:06:05] -!- awallin has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[14:06:50] <mhaberler> moreover, I think feeding such a signal to a hw watchdog is more likely to be able to turn off a critical component immediately than going through a software commutator

[14:22:31] <steve_stallings> Yea, 30 Hz might not be fast enough. We make one card that is specified at 150 Hz minimum for the charge pump signal.
[14:26:10] <mhaberler> well, there's always the option of the watchdog hal component, and the other task.enable-out pin might help as well - it's cleared first thing in the signal handler
[14:36:34] <mhaberler> what could be done is a second thread in milltask which could run fast enough - assuming milltask takes down reliably that thread.. but with a such threads a charge-pump chain seems feasable
[14:43:39] <mhaberler> that doesnt necessarily trigger estop if the main program loops though. stupid idea.
