4.1.1 Monitoring and Auto-recovery
Monitoring Functions
The RAS functions enable users to monitor operation status and detect failures.
The DyaloX provides the following monitoring functions.
Startup Monitoring: Provides notification of failures that occur while starting
(i.e., from turning ON the power supply until startup has been completed).
Alive Monitoring: Provides notification of failures that occur while the OS is running
(i.e., from startup to shutdown).
Shutdown Monitoring: Provides notification of failures that occur while shutting down
or rebooting.
External Power Supply Under voltage/Interruption Monitoring: Detects abnormal
power interruptions for the external power supply.
Temperature Monitoring: Detects abnormal temperatures in the Motherboard.
Voltage Monitoring: Detects abnormal power supply voltages in the Motherboard.
Cumulative Operating Time Monitoring: Detects excessive cumulative operating time.
RAS Board Monitoring: Detects failures with the RAS Board.
LCD Monitoring: Detects failures with the LCD.
Action on Failures (forced shut down/forced reboot)
RAS can take action where a failure is detected. The following functions are provided:
Rebooting the system automatically when the operating system freezes
Starting the system and restoring operation automatically after the Motherboard
stops because of a failure, such as overheating
Repeating reboot attempts automatically until the system is successfully activated, if
the system hangs-up at startup
Forcefully terminating the system automatically when the system takes too much
time to shut down.
Failure Notification
The Failure Notification function reports a failure when it occurs or after the system recovers
from the failure. It notifies the user of a failure with a pop-up message that allows the user to
immediately identify the situation.
The user is notified of power failure that causes shutdown of the system.
When the system goes down due to some failure, this function notifies the user of the
nature of the failure and the status of the Industrial PC after the system recovers from
the failure.
The user is immediately notified of any abnormal temperature or voltage in the
Motherboard.
The user is notified that LCD Backlight lifetime is nearing its limit.
