Description
•
Monitoring for temperature high and low limits as
well as cable breaks of the temperature sensors
•
Temperature sensors record the temperature at criti-
cal device points, e.g. at the processor.
•
The temperature thresholds are defined for the indi-
vidual temperature sensors.
•
With SIMATIC IPC DiagBase or SIMATIC IPC DiagMoni-
tor, actions are triggered when the temperature
thresholds are exceeded.
•
Monitoring of the system status and message to de-
