14 HEATER:TEMP:<target temperature>
Description:
This command changes the target temperature of the heater.
The value has to be entered as degree centigrade, e.g. 100 = 100 °C. The
target temperature value has to be between 1 °C and 230 °C.
In case there is no heater connected, the response is “NAK”.
Example:
Input:
HEATER:TEMP:60
Result:
The target temperature of the heater is set to 60 °C.
Return:
OK
15 HEATER:LIMITS:<min>,<max>
Description:
With this command you set the lower and upper limit for the temperature
regulation. The parameters say, by how many degrees the current
temperature might be below/above the target temperature, before the
MDC shows an error message. The values have to be given in 1/10
th
of a
degree centigrade, i.e. 20 = 2.0 °C.
Both parameters have to be between 5 (= 0.5 °C) and 100 (= 10.0 °C).
Information!
In case the temperature moves out of the given range, the error message
does not appear immediately. Instead it comes several seconds later. This
helps to avoid stopping the production too quickly because of a short
temperature fluctuation.
In case there is no heater connected, the response is “NAK”.
Example:
Input:
HEATER:LIMITS:10,22
Result:
The actual temperature may be 1.0 °C lower and 2.2 °C
higher than the target temperature, before an error
message is send.
Return:
OK
