Timely notification of shutdowns is critical for managing remote unmanned equipment. Control modules outputs may only indicate a fault condition and require and operator to reset locally. Detailed information on the fault condition can be obtained from the control module, but may be delayed fault output by a time period due to controller task priority. Functionality for limiting an event frame to x time after the start trigger is required to provide timely notification of fault codes without waiting for the operator to reset the control module and clear the fault.
