LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Prometheus
built 641 days ago
A plethora of features are designed into Prometheus to protect against amplifier damage. Two independent systems simultaneously monitor critical amplifier operating parameters in both hardware and software. A custom hardware protection circuit is implemented in an FPGA to provide shutdown INDEPENDENT of the microprocessor. In the event of software or microprocessor failure the hardware protection circuit is still operating. At the same time, the microprocessor monitors the same critical parameters independent of the hardware protection circuit which provides another measure of protection should the hardware protection circuitry fail! This doubly redundant level of protection is key for mission critical protection, and another Dishtronix exclusive innovation.
