GRANADA HILLS, Calif. - Aug. 22, 2017 - PRLog -- -Works is now shipping the WDT218 USB watchdog time modules (WDT). System lockups may occur due to computer hardware devices, application software or system software. To reduce the risk and possible damage a lockup can cause, there is two possible methods (1) redundancy (2) watchdog timer. Neither method offer 100% protection, but both reduce risk or consequences of failure. Redundancy, a duplication of hardware is very expensive. The WDT218 provides an USB based low cost watchdog timer hardware solution. The module when enabled monitors software reset sent from an application and if not received within a user set time indicates a time out by setting a user programmed pattern to 2 or 5 2 Amp SPDT relays. Each relay can be wired to a unique function in response to a time-out condition. After an initial setup, all programable values can be stored to on-board Eeprom. According to Paul Ryan, Applications Support at J-Works "The user can quickly communicates with the module from any programming or test language that supports USB communications as shown in provided sample applications."
Single unit price for the Model WDT218 starts at $63.25. Volume discounts available. Delivery is from stock. Full product specifications at http://www.j-works.com/wdt218.php
