Read current and temperature
Read temperature, voltage and current
Monitoring during operation
I want to keep an eye on current, voltage, and temperature at the factory.
Can these values be queried directly from TC?
Booster Station
Silvio Richter describes in the forum:
The prerequisite is the Booster operating station and a block assigned to the operating station in the FDL.
A button assigned to this block is used as an operation to assign values to a numerical variable (context booster).
The current is read in mA, the temperature and voltage as a three-digit number.
The result could then look like this:
Divide variable by 10
The 3-digit temperature value must be divided by 10 for the display.
I have a signalman press the button every 3 seconds. This way, I always have a real-time view of the power consumption and temperature of the control unit, and I can also set limits and trigger further actions.
