The fryer is used to fry various cooked foods, such as French fries and others. A system may consist of one or more fryer vats. Each fryer vat can be operated individually.

If the device is equipped with a lift, the frying basket of each vat can be automatically lowered and raised again after an adjustable cooking time.

Figure 10 shows an overview of the object types for the Fryer device class.

FryerParameterType provides information about the state, the set values and the current actual values of a frying vat.

The FryerParameterType is formally defined in Table 14.

This variable describes the state of the device, e.g. heating up or frying.

The data type for the FryerModeEnumeration is defined in 6.4.1.

This variable contains the set temperature to which the frying fat is to be heated.

The EngineeringUnit property of the AnalogItemType has the value °C. The value for the EURange property is device-specific.

This variable describes the currently measured frying temperature.

The EngineeringUnit property of the AnalogItemType has the value °C. The value for the EURange property is device-specific.

This variable describes the set cooking time in seconds.

The EngineeringUnit property of the AnalogItemType has the value s. The value for the EURange property is device-specific.

This variable describes the remaining frying time in seconds.

The EngineeringUnit property of the AnalogItemType has the value s. The value for the EURange property is device-specific.

This variable describes the state of the signal output. In addition to the on and off states, the "Signal was acknowledged" state is also saved.

The data type for the SignalModeEnumeration is defined in 6.4.2.

This variable describes whether the frying basket is raised.

A fryer may consist of one or more frying vats. Each fryer vat can be operated individually. The device can be equipped with a lift for the frying basket for each existing frying vat.

The FryerDeviceType is formally defined in Table 15.

This property describes whether the device has an automatic lift for raising and lowering the frying basket.

The EnergySource property returns the type of energy supply. The data type for the EnergySourceEnumeration is defined in 21.1.

A fryer may consist of one or more frying vats. The FryerCup_<No.> object contains the data of a frying vat.

The data type is an enumeration of the current status of the fryer.

The enumeration values are defined in Table 16.

Value	Description
Off_0	Off
Preheat_1	Heating up
Melting_2	Fat melting stage (95 °C)
Frying_3	Frying procedure
StandBy_4	Eco-mode, lowering of the temperature
Filtering_5	Oil is being filtered
Error_6	Error state

This data type is an enumeration of the signal state.

The enumeration values are defined in Table 17.
