The baud rate in terms of hardware can be set to a maximum of 115,200 bps for SERIAL A, EXT Serial A, B. The baud rates available in practice depend on the operating environment (cable, software, etc.).

    Watch-Dog-Timer The watchdog timer serves as a safeguard against possible system lock-up in your industrial computer system. In most industrial environments, there are heavy equipment, generators, high-voltage power lines, or power drops that have adverse effects on your computer system. For instance, when a power drop occurs, it could cause the CPU to come to a halt state or enter into an infinite loop, resulting in a system lock-up.

    Life of SSD About write endurance SSD contained in PT-955LS-AC5421 has a write endurance which limits the number of times each memory may be written, due to the characteristic of the memory that is used. Write endurance can be alculated by the following formula as a reference value: Write endurance (cycles) = Total capacity (MB) x 100,000 (cycles) / Size of file (MB) Example1: When the file of 1MB is made for the standard SSD (8GB), and it rewrites it once a second.
