This multifunction Low Profile x1 PCI Express card contains a watchdog timer used to monitor the operation of your application program and operating system to initiate a system reset in case of a lockup. It can also monitor and control a variety of system hardware parameters. The card is 6.6 inches long and 2.535 inches seated height. I/O wiring connections are via a female DB25 connector on the card mounting bracket. Two models with increasing features are available.

The PCIe-WDG-CSM card contains a watchdog timer and on-card RGB LED and speaker alarm to signal watchdog timeout. A DPDT relay, two LVTTL inputs and two outputs, and fused 3.3V general purpose outputs are accessed via the DB25 female I/O connector on the card mounting bracket.

An advanced model, the PCIe-WDG-CSMA, is also available which includes an A/D converter to monitor the computer power supply, and sensors to monitor the internal temperature and humidity, ambient light, and comes with a remote temperature sensor on a 19 cable. A pair of opto-isolated outputs and four opto-isolated inputs are available for general purpose use.

PCIe-WDG-CSMA: Advanced Feature Pack* Advanced software package multiplies the power of your Watchdog.
