    6. Appendix 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.

    6. Appendix Life of CF About write endurance CF contained in PT-955LXC-DC5311 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 calculated by the following formula as a reference value: Write endurance (cycles) = Total capacity (MB) x 100,000 (cycles) / Size of file (MB)
