3.2 Windows XP Embedded
Windows XP Embedded for the DyaloX IPC contains the following software:
• .NET Framework 2.0
• Internet Explorer
• Visual Basic Runtime Library files v5.0 & v6.0
• C Runtime Library (4.0.1183.1)
• Remote Desktop support
Remarks on configuring Windows XP Embedded:
• The Windows firewall is enabled when the product is shipped from the factory.
Make the appropriate settings as required.
• The administrator password is not set when the product is shipped from the
factory. Set a password as required. If a password has been set, however, a
keyboard will be required when logging on.
• To use a USB-connected floppy disk drive, keyboard, or mouse when starting
Windows to update the BIOS or recover the Windows system, select Advanced
from the BIOS set-up menu and set Legacy USB Support to Enabled.
• Windows XP Embedded is an OS designed for embedded use. Some application
programs that operate on the Windows XP Professional OS may not operate on
the Windows XP Embedded OS of an DyaloX Industrial PC. In addition, the
Windows components cannot be added and deleted by selecting Add or Remove
Programs from the Control Panel.
3.3 Enhanced Write Filter (EWF)
The Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) is a special function in Windows XP Embedded that
protects a volume from write access. When you enable EWF for a certain volume you prevent
any data to be saved to the storage disk. Instead all data is saved to the RAM. This means
when you reboot the IPC the data is lost.
EWF provides the following features:
• Write protects one or more partitions on your IPC
• Keep original disk contents
• Data can be saved while EWF is disabled (commit) using EWF API
By default the EWF is disabled. You should be careful when big amount(s) of data is involved
as RAM is used to store it.
Some EWF commands you can use:
• Show EWF status: EWFMGR C:
• Enable EWF: EWFMGR C: -enable
• Write data to disk: EWFMGR C: -commit
• Help information: EWFMGR -?
More information on EWF can be found in Appendix 2 of our manual or on:
http://www.microsoft.com/embedded

4. RAS
RAS stands for Reliability, Availability and Serviceability and is a specific OMRON designed
solution for the DyaloX to make it a true Industrial PC. Inside the DyaloX Industrial PC series,
a separate board, interfaced by embedded RAS utility software, continually monitors the
motherboard. Because this unique RAS board is a stand-alone board, it can gather data from
the motherboard no matter what the Operating System or hardware conditions of the DyaloX
are. The RAS solution can notify you when unstable hardware or software conditions are
detected. It can if needed take action to automatically resolve the failure and enables you to
investigate the causes of the failure.
Warning threshold levels can be set manually in the RAS utility. Data logged at time of failure,
such as motherboard temperatures, voltages, date and time, and other relevant data can be
uploaded from the RAS board for analysis.
So whatever the reason for failure, the RAS board is able to provide a system snapshot just
before failure occurs. By analyzing the log data, the trend and cause of failures can be quickly
found and rectified for higher reliability in the future.
The DyaloX Industrial PC series with its RAS functionality will help you achieve the highest
possible reliability in your PC Based application(s).
4.1 RAS Functions
The RAS system in OMRON Industrial PC provides the following main functions:
• Monitoring Function that constantly monitors the hardware and software of an
industrial PC and gives the user failure notification when an error is detected or a
failure occurs.
• Auto-recovery Function that forcefully shuts down the system when a failure occurs
to prevent further faults and reboot the system for recovery.
• Logging Function that saves events in operating an industrial PC (such as Power
Supply ON/OFF, OS startup/shutdown, etc.), system status when a failure occurs and
conditions of the Motherboard (temperature, power supply) onto the RAS Board's
power-backed-up memory.
• Log Analysis Function that analyzes cause and/or tendency of failures using
numerous amounts of logs saved on the memory.
Page 16
12
4.1.1 Monitoring and Auto-recovery
Monitoring Functions
The RAS functions enable users to monitor operation status and detect failures.
The DyaloX provides the following monitoring functions.
• Startup Monitoring: Provides notification of failures that occur while starting
(i.e., from turning ON the power supply until startup has been completed).
• Alive Monitoring: Provides notification of failures that occur while the OS is running
(i.e., from startup to shutdown).
• Shutdown Monitoring: Provides notification of failures that occur while shutting down
or rebooting.
• External Power Supply Under voltage/Interruption Monitoring: Detects abnormal
power interruptions for the external power supply.
• Temperature Monitoring: Detects abnormal temperatures in the Motherboard.
• Voltage Monitoring: Detects abnormal power supply voltages in the Motherboard.
• Cumulative Operating Time Monitoring: Detects excessive cumulative operating time.
• RAS Board Monitoring: Detects failures with the RAS Board.
• LCD Monitoring: Detects failures with the LCD.
Action on Failures (forced shut down/forced reboot)
RAS can take action where a failure is detected. The following functions are provided:
• Rebooting the system automatically when the operating system freezes
• Starting the system and restoring operation automatically after the Motherboard
stops because of a failure, such as overheating
• Repeating reboot attempts automatically until the system is successfully activated, if
the system hangs-up at startup
• Forcefully terminating the system automatically when the system takes too much
time to shut down.
Failure Notification
The Failure Notification function reports a failure when it occurs or after the system recovers
from the failure. It notifies the user of a failure with a pop-up message that allows the user to
immediately identify the situation.
• The user is notified of power failure that causes shutdown of the system.
• When the system goes down due to some failure, this function notifies the user of the
nature of the failure and the status of the Industrial PC after the system recovers from
the failure.
• The user is immediately notified of any abnormal temperature or voltage in the
Motherboard.
• The user is notified that LCD Backlight lifetime is nearing its limit.

4.1.2 Logging Function and Log Analysis Function
The system keeps a log of operational events as well as of the status of the Industrial PC
(temperature, voltage, etc.) in memory. The logs are saved in the RAS Board memory even if
the Industrial PC cannot start due to a failure, so the user can analyze the log based on the
information stored in the RAS memory in order to identify the cause of the failure. The RAS
Utility includes Filter and Find functions to analyze logs.
These functions allow the user to analyze the logs more effectively by specifying events in a
particular period or classifying events in categories.
The RAS Utility allows the user to import/export log files. The user may export log files to save
logs to a file on a regular basis. The user may also import log files to compare and analyze
past logs with logs currently in the memory or to conduct log analysis on another PC.
4.2 RAS Utility software
The RAS utility software is the GUI to the RAS system. This software informs the user of
failures, warnings, and statuses and also allows the user to configure RAS.
The RAS utility is started when the users logs in on Windows. The small icon shown in the
picture below (icon in red square) shows this.
This icon shows the present status of the RAS. With the RAS utility you can also disable the
notification of failures.
