A Powerful Combination for Maximum System Reliability
The combination of a battery backup for the SRAM and a watchdog timer means maximum system reliability. With process history stored in SRAM, the watchdog timer will reboot the system in the event of a crash and the process software will use the history stored in SRAM to continue the process at the correct step. This automatic restart and memory storage of running system processes ensures minimum interruption.
