Watchdog

What does F9003 mean?

The watchdog error indicates that the IndraDrive's internal watchdog timer has not been reset within its expected interval, causing the system to trigger a fault. This typically signifies that the main processor or a critical software task has become unresponsive or stuck, preventing proper system operation.

• Software deadlock or infinite loop in the application program or firmware.
• Excessive processing load on the drive's CPU, preventing the watchdog from being serviced.
• Hardware malfunction in the control unit, affecting processor execution or watchdog timer.
• Firmware defects causing the system to hang.
