makes it impossible to correctly display the possible burner functions.
Notes on burning optical data carriers
CAUTION
Danger of data errors when burning data carriers!
Burning is permissible only in an undisturbed environment, i.e. shock and vibration stress
must be avoided. Because of heavy fluctuation in the quality of CD-Rs, data may be
corrupted in a burning session, even if no error message is initially displayed. The written
data can only be verified by comparing these with the source. To be on the safe side, data
should be verified after every burning session.

Functions implemented:
● Temperature monitoring and over/under-temperature display
● Watchdog
● Fan monitoring
● RAID alarm display
Messages of the monitoring modules can be transferred to applications.
The SOM software (Safecard On Motherboard) and DiagMonitor software on CD (optional)
can be used to handle this functionality.
The DiagMonitor software CD contains the monitoring software, the software for the stations
to be monitored, and a library for creating user-specific applications.
The descriptions of drivers and of the SOM program are available on the CD "Documentation
and Drivers" under Drivers & Updates\<device>\...

9.2 Temperature monitoring/display
Temperature monitoring
The temperature is recorded using four temperature sensors which are installed at critical
locations of the device. One sensor monitors the processor temperature, the second the
temperature in the area near the processor module, and the third or fourth the temperature
underneath the bus module.
The flashing Temp LED indicates that the device is being operated at its limits. The following
fault reactions are triggered if one of the temperature values exceeds the set temperature
threshold:
Reaction Option
The Temp LED changes to red None
Device cooling fan switches to maximum speed (the power unit
controls its own fan)

9.3 Watchdog (WD)
The temperature error is retained in memory until temperatures have fallen below the
thresholds and are reset by one of the following measures:
● Check whether the ambient temperature limit has been exceeded, or whether the filter is
soiled.
● Acknowledgment of the error message by the monitoring software
● Restart of the device
9.3 Watchdog (WD)
Function
The watchdog monitors program execution and reports a program crash to the user by
means of various reactions.
After POWER ON of the PC, or after a HW RESET (cold restart), the watchdog is in idle
state, that is, a reaction of the WD is not triggered and the Watchdog LED is switched off.
The Watchdog LED is lit green when the watchdog is enabled (by means of the driver, SOM
program or DiagMonitor software.)
WD reactions
If the WD is not triggered again within the set time (by the driver or SOM program), the
following reactions are initiated:
Reaction Option
Watchdog LED changeover from green to red None
Trigger a PC reset Configurable
SIMATIC monitoring software is activated None
WD monitoring times (TWD)
The monitoring times can be set in increments of one second within a range from 3 to 255
seconds.
Note
The watchdog is retriggered if the monitoring time is changed at the active watchdog (that is
while the watchdog is running)!
