Advantech ADAM-4500 Network Card User Manual


 
The controller also includes a real-time clock and a watchdog timer function. The real-time clock
ensures time recording while events occur. The watchdog timer is designed to automatically reset
the microprocessor when the system fails. This feature greatly reduces the level of maintenance
required and makes the ADAM-4500 ideal for use in applications that require a high level of
system stability.
