DCS channel powerup watchdog

rrmanrrmanOGR Forum Member

Does each channel send out a watchdog signal when it gets voltage at any time, or does the DCS only send out a watchdog on all channels when first powered up?  I have my TIU wired live via the AUX input.

 

I just installed a set of PSX quick circuit breaker boards for each loop (see https://ogrforum.com/d...ent/3259945169936428 for details.)  If I have a track short, the PSX will instantly cuts off power.  If I reset the breaker, would the "dead" channel rebroadcast a watchdog upon getting its power back again, or will engine come up conventional?
