Hardware Features
The module has:
• LEDs to indicate the status of the connection to the Ethernet, its
own internal state, and the connection to the DCS network
• an Ethernet connector
• a 9-pin D-shell connector to connect to the DCS network
• a power connector
A watchdog timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the
firmware does not kick the watchdog within the timeout period the
watchdog times out and places the module into a safe fatal failure state.
A jabber inhibit timer is implemented in the module’s hardware. If the
network transmitter is on longer than 150% of the longest network
frame time, the transmitter is forced off and the module is placed into a
safe fatal failure state.
