Gs Command - Request Thermal Condition - Baumer VeriSens ID Series Technical Documentation Manual

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).
