2.1.2 Temperature sensor locations
Sensors monitor temperature values at various locations (USB ports, main memory) inside the PP500. These tem-
peratures

can be read in Microsoft Windows operating systems using the B&R Control Center
3)
or in Automation
Runtime using data points in Automation Studio.
For applications that don't use Windows, temperatures can be evaluated using the B&R implementation guide. In
addition to the implementation guide, there are also programs available in MS-DOS.
