    Appendix RAS Feature PL’s RAS Features RAS, which stands for Reliability, Availability and Serviceability, is a device-level monitoring function that provides a variety of features to improve the reliability of your PL system. Though the standard set of RAS features used will vary depending on the devices used, the following features are used to provide Alarm Monitoring and External Input Signal support.

  • Page 96: Ras Feature Details

    Appendix RAS Feature Details Alarm Monitoring Power Voltage Alarm Monitors the condition of the PL’s internal and CPU power. Cooling Fan Alarm Monitors the condition of the PL’s internal power and CPU cooling fans. Internal Temperature Alarm Monitors the PL’s internal and CPU vicinity temperatures. The degree of monitoring (3 levels) and the enabling or disabling of the above three items is performed via the System Setup Area’s settings.
  • Page 97 Appendix External Input Signal The PL’s RAS interface connector uses the following input signals. Standard Signal Input (DIN) This standard digital input is used for alarm detection in external devices. The input signal uses two bits. The System Monitor utility can be used to enable or disable this feature, as well as designate what type of processing is to be performed once a signal is received.
  • Page 98 Appendix External Output Signal The PL’s RAS interface connector uses the following output signals. General Purpose Signal Output (DOUT) This general purpose digital output signal provides system condition information to external devices. The System Monitor’s API-DLL are used by applications to control this signal. Alarm Output (1 point) Lamp Output (1 point) The above mentioned general purpose digital output signals provide system...
