Detailed Description

Fault monitor is one of the vital components in creating different power supply applications. It is responsible for the protection of power supply including the monitoring and handling of faults that may be encountered while power supply is in operation. It is implemented as high-priority task included in the real-time operating system. Thresholds are being set for voltage, current, and temperature level that are being monitored if user-defined fault objects violate the minimum and maximum input and output voltage and current, and maximum temperature level allowed. Once the fault monitor objects detect a fault, this will trigger the fault responses and respond immediately.
