CHAPTER 16: FAIL

SAFE SYSTEM
16.1
Overview
The Fail-Safe System is a set of features that allows an application to continue running in the
event of certain types of "soft" failures. These "soft" failures include:
•
Battery power loss
•
Battery-Backed Register RAM or Application Flash corruption due to, for example, an
excessive EMI event.
The Fail-Safe System has the following capabilities:
•
Manually backup the current Battery-Backed RAM Register Settings into Flash
memory.
•
Manually restore Register Settings from the values previously backed up in Flash to
Battery-Backed RAM.
•
Detect corrupted Register Settings at power-up and then automatically restore them
from Flash.
•
Detect corrupted or empty application in Flash memory at power-up and then
automatically load the AUTOLOAD.PGM application file from Removable Media
(Compact Flash or microSD).
•
If an automatic Register Restore or Application Load occurs, the OCS can
automatically be placed in RUN mode
The fail-safe system can be accessed through the system menu of the controller. A new menu
“F
ail-
Safe System” has been added at the end of the main system menu for this. Selecting “Fail
-
Safe System” menu will open the following menu screen:
