In a user-defined period, the IP WatchDog2 Industrial detects the status of internet connection, LAN connected devices and RS-232 connected devices. The IP WatchDog2 Industrial can monitor up to ten channels including up to two RS-232 and can reset one or two physical devices (two output channels).
In case the internet connection fails or any monitored device stops responding the IP WatchDog2 Industrial can restart two connected devices via its 230V/16A NO/NC relay DO.
A restart of each output channel can be realized also manually from the main page (under password).
A built-in web server is used for configuring.
