2.2.1.5 Temperature monitoring
Sensors monitor temperature values at many different locations in the PPC2100 swing arm device. The location
of these temperature sensors is illustrated in Figure 5 "Panel PC 2100 swing arm device - Temperature sensor
positions" on page 23. The values listed in "Temperature sensor locations" represent the defined maximum
temperature for this measurement point. An alarm is not triggered if this temperature is exceeded. These temper-
atures can be read in BIOS or approved Microsoft Windows operating systems via the B&R Control Center.
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.
2.2.1.6 Temperature sensor positions
Sensors indicate temperature values at many different locations in the PPC2100. The temperatures
1)
can be read
in BIOS ("OEM features" on page 103) or in Microsoft Windows operating systems with the B&R Control Center
2)
.
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.
