Thermostat

**

With the thermostat you can detect the temperature at a specific place inside a thermal mass like you do it with the thermometer.

But the thermostat just gives a binary value ‘temperature exceeded’.

You have to adjust the temperature on the edit mask as well as the hysteresis.

The thermostat will switch on if the specified temperature is exceeded. It will switch off if the temperature falls below this limit minus the hysteresis.

Normally the thermostat is set on ‘NC - contact’, that means that it will give ‘0’ if the limit of the temperature is exceeded. But you can change it into ‘NO - contact’.

If the thermostat is not inside a thermal mass it will not give any value, that means that it does not influence the connected PLC-bit.
