Temperature relay

Description
The FB_TempRelais function block monitors a temperature and registers any exceedance via a latched state ( #latched
), thus maintaining a one-time alarm condition. In simulation mode, the evaluation occurs immediately without latching. The output is via normally closed ( #NO_13_14
) and normally open ( #NC_21_22
) contacts, which are only active when the optional inputs ( #Input_13
, #Input_21
) are set.
Note: This logic is designed as a template. Before productive use, it must be integrated, tested, and approved by qualified personnel. Incorrect integration may result in undesired switching states.
How it works
Reset
With #Reset
the self-holding ( #latched
) is deleted, so that the block returns to the normal state.
Disabled
If #Enable
is not active, all outputs remain inactive, the block reports no error and shows a neutral state.
simulation
In simulation mode, the temperature is evaluated directly against the threshold ( #HI_Limit
). If the value exceeds the limit, #latched
is set without the need for permanent self-holding—the outputs reflect the state accordingly.
Normal operation
In real-time operation, a temperature overshoot ( #Temp ≥ #HI_Limit
) sets the latch ( #latched
) once, which remains until a reset occurs. The contacts only transmit the state if the corresponding enable inputs are active:
-
#NO_13_14
(normally closed) is active if there is no latch and#Input_13
is set. -
#NC_21_22
(normally open) is active when Latch is set and#Input_21
is set.

- Modes: Reset, Disabled, Simulation, Real Operation with Latching
- Logic: One-time triggering in case of overtemperature, hold via latch until reset
Possible applications
- Monitoring of temperature limits with clearly visible status display
- Persistent alarm (latch) after a single exceedance
- Testing and validation in simulation mode without real temperature change
- Linking to higher-level control and alarm chains via release inputs
Note: Before use in productive operation, a complete test and approval by qualified personnel is required.
