Heating

**

With the heating you can supply energy to or take energy from a thermal mass at a specific place. (Remark: in V2.6 the temperature of the fluids is still constant.)

The heating has got a drive that defines the heating power. A negative heating power means a cooling. Currently there are three drives for the heating: the bit heating that you can only switch on and off, the bit word heating whose heating power can also be specified by the PLC and the drive by a linear mover. With this one you can simulate a mechanical working cooling shutter, for example, or it is possible to recreate the loss of energy of a heating when you open the doors.

The heating power of the drive is weight with the efficiency that can be modified dependent on the temperature with the help of a characteristic curve. By this it can be considered that a 1000° C hot flame cannot supply energy to a workpiece that has got the same temperature.
