Software nSMART™
11.1
noax Microcontroller (MCU)
All noax Industrial PCs contain a microcontroller (MCU = microcontroller unit) on the
motherboard along with the CPU. This MCU monitors important system functions and
also carries out additional control functions.
The MCU constantly monitors:
D
All supply voltages (Input voltage, 12 V, 5 V, Core voltages,
…
)
D
System temperatures
D
Fan functions
Warning
If a monitored parameter exceeds the specified value limits, an error message is dis
played via the control panel LEDs.
In the event of serious errors, the system will be switched off immediately.
These safety functions avoid damage being caused to the Industrial PC
(e.g., as a result of an excessive internal temperature).
