2.2.2.1.6 Temperature monitoring
Sensors monitor temperature values at various locations in the PPC2100 device. The location of these temperature
sensors is illustrated in
Fig. 10 "Panel PC 2100 - Temperature sensor positions" on page 39
. The values listed
in
Tab. 25 "Temperature sensor locations" on page 39
represent the defined maximum temperature for this
measurement point. An alarm is not triggered if this temperature is exceeded.
These temperatures
1)
can be read in various ways in approved operating systems:
•
BIOS
•
B&R Control Center
2)
•
B&R ADI Development Kit
2)
•
B&R ADI .NET SDK
2)
•
B&R HMI Service Center
2)
•
B&R HMI Diagnose
2)
•
B&R PVI ADI line
2)
•
B&R ADI SNMP Agent
2)
•
Automation Runtime Library
2)
In addition, the CFast cards for PPC2100 systems available from B&R are equipped with S.M.A.R.T, or Self-Moni-
toring, Analysis and Reporting Technology. This makes it possible to read various parameters such as temperature
using software (e.g. HDD Thermometer, a freeware program) on approved Microsoft operating systems.
For applications that do not run in approved operating systems, temperatures can be evaluated using the MTCX
Development Kit. In addition to the MTCX Development Kit, sample programs in EFI are also available.

The temperature measured approximates the immediate ambient temperature but may also be influenced by neighboring components.
2)
Drivers for approved operating systems can be downloaded at no cost from the Downloads section of the B&R website (
).
