  • Page 2: Copyright

    It is a Condition of Sale that the user of Octagon products in life support applications assumes all the risk of such use and indemnifies Octagon against all damage.

  • Page 3: Using Cmos Circuitry In Industrial Control

    Therefore, 72% of the returned cards are damaged through some type of misuse. Of the remaining 8%, Octagon is unable to determine the cause of the failure and repairs these cards at no charge if they are under warranty.
  • Page 4 Multiple component failures: The chance of a random component failure is very rare since the average MTBF of an Octagon card is greater than 11 years. In a 7 year study, Octagon has never found a single case where multiple IC failures were not caused by misuse or accident.

  • Page 5: Avoiding Damage To The Heatsink Or Cpu

    Excessive signal lead lengths: Another source of failure that was identified years ago at Octagon was excessive lead lengths on digital inputs. Long leads act as an antenna to pick up noise. They can also act as unterminated transmission lines. When 5V is switch onto a line, it creates a transient waveform.

    Watchdog timer and hardware reset Chapter 15: Description The watchdog timer is a fail–safe against program crashes or processor lockups. It has a jumper-selectable timeout period, with periods of 10 seconds and 60 seconds. INT17 software calls, a built–in function on the PC–600, are then used to strobe the watchdog timer from your application.
