Fail-safe
The controller’s safety system includes a microprocessor watchdog which can detect software
failure, and a hardware fail-safe system which can prevent dangerous runaway conditions in the
event of certain hardware failures.
Every time the controller is powered-up, the software checks that the fail-safe circuit is able to
switch off the MOSFETs and open the contactors.
