Re: CRIO-FRCIII

A typical breaker doesn't open immediately. It takes easily 1-3 seconds. This would have to be more of a watchdog feature, but if the load on a specific port on the PDB is too high for too long, not just a spike, it will open a relay and the fault shall no longer persist. With an FPGA onboard, it should be easy to make this extremely reliable and fast! The delay before trip would also be adjustable, instead of random (within a range)
