Fail Safe Timers

The MMC120 has two fail safe timers:

Drive Output Disable -- 15 microseconds

The fastest fail safe timer on the MMC120 is 15 microseconds long and is retriggered by activity on the
module's internal bus. If the timer is not retriggered within 15 microseconds, it disables the drive outputs.
When internal bus activity resumes, the drive outputs are re-enabled.

Hardware Reset -- 17 milliseconds

If the microprocessor fails to retrigger the onboard watchdog timer, the 17 millisecond hardware reset timer
expires and resets the hardware. This has the same effect on the MMC120 as powering up. While the module
is being reset, the Fail LED on the front panel is illuminated.
