Automation PC 810 with GM45 CPU board user's manual V1.28
2.1.2 Minimum ambient temperature
For systems containing one of the following components, the minimum ambient temperature is +5°C:
5AC801.DVDS-00, 5AC801.DVRS-00. If none of these components are used, then the minimum ambient temper-
ature is 0 °C.
2.1.3 Temperature monitoring
Sensors monitor temperature values at various places in the APC810 (CPU, board, board I/O, board ETH2, board
power supply, ETH2 controller, power supply and slide-in drives 1/2). The location of the temperature sensors can
be seen in "Figure 3: Temperature sensor locations" on page 28. The values listed in the table represent the
defined maximum temperature
1)
for the respective measurement point. An alarm is not triggered if this temperature
is exceeded. These temperatures can be read in BIOS ("Advanced" - Baseboard/Panel features - Baseboard
monitor) or in approved Microsoft operating systems via the B&R Control Center.
In addition, the hard disks for APC810 systems available from B&R are equipped with S.M.A.R.T, or Self Monitoring,
Analysis, and Reporting Technology. This makes it possible to read various parameters, e.g. temperature, using
software (such as HDD Thermometer, a freeware program) on approved Microsoft operating systems (except
Windows CE).
2.1.4 Temperature sensor locations
Sensors indicate temperature values at different locations in the APC810 (CPU, board I/O, slide-in drive, etc). The
temperatures
2)
can be read in BIOS (Advanced - CPU monitor) or in Microsoft Windows operating systems via
the B&R Control Center
3)
.
For applications that don't use Windows, the temperatures can be evaluated using the B&R implementation guide.
In addition to the implementation guide, there are also programs available in MS-DOS.
