Boot Cycle Counter

Description

After each start, the current Boot Cycle Counter is read from the non-volatile memory, incremented by 1 and rewritten. In addition, a second Boot Cycle Counter is implemented that can be reset.

The output of the current boot cycle can serve as a control for the service interval as well as for preventative maintenance. Schedules for regular maintenance can be tied to the values of the Boot Cycle Counter.

Note

The maximum number of storage cycles is 1000000 and, with switch-on and switch-off every 12 minutes, this means a service life of over 1.000.000 × 12 min = ~22,8 years.

Boot Cycle Counter

This parameter saves the value of the current boot cycle, which is incremented on each start.
