FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This multifunction card contains a watchdog timer used to monitor the operation of your application program and operating system to initiate a system reset in case of a lockup. It can also monitor and control a variety of system hardware parameters. Three models with increasing features are available.
P104-WDG-E
The economy version includes the full programmable watchdog timer with open collector outputs that can reset the
computer. This requires your application program to have embedded watchdog software code that communicates a
prompt to the timer. If this prompt is missed, a hard computer reset is initiated after the user programmed watchdog
timer period has been reached. This is valuable where the lock up of the application is due to being in a software
loop where some hardware watchdogs cannot detect.
P104-WDG-CSM
The Computer Status Monitor (CSM) version includes features in the economy model and adds capability to monitor
the health and control various computer functions. The PCI-Bus 5V and +/-12V are monitored and if any voltage varies by more than 6%, an interrupt can be generated. The temperature monitor compares an on-board temperature
