15.4.11 GS command
– request thermal condition
This function enables you to query the device's current thermal state. The internal temperature sensor is
queried for this and the capacity is output in %.
An internal protection device intervenes when the device is operated outside of specification; this is intended
to protect the components against destruction by heat. The device will undergo emergency shutdown when
100% capacity is reached.
The
Application Suite
, the web-interface and the process interfaces will output an overheating warning to
notify users that the maximum permissible operating temperature (circa 85
–90% of loading) has been
reached (see
GA temperature alarm command
).

Thermal state
Parameters of the "RS" command
– current thermal state
The percentage value for capacity of the temperature range before emergency thermal shutdown (100%
capacity) is transmitted using 8 characters, the first 6 characters in a bit mask are always 0 and the current
thermal state is contained in ASCII characters 7 and 8.
