WL Circuit Breaker
Operation
As a microcomputer, the BDA is booted in the same way as a PC. This takes approximately 40 seconds and is started automatically when the power supply is switched on. During this time, the content is loaded from the Flash memory to the main memory, an internal self test is carried out, the operating system (embedded Linux) is booted, and the web server application started.
The RESET button on the underside enables the BDA to be restarted manually at any time.
The LEDs indicate the operating status during the
