7.9 STCompHeaterType ObjectType Definition

The STCompHeaterType provides relevant variables and parameters for controlling and monitoring the heater of vessel and inline heating modules.

The STCompHeaterType is formally defined in Table 37.

Monitoring represents a collection of ObjectTypes and VariableTypes, representing the current state of the process that are assigned to the component.

Description represents a collection of ObjectTypes and VariableTypes that describe the heater. This may be information that is not an identifier for the system and that is static in character but must be stored on the server for some use cases. One example is the mesh size of a sieve, which does not vary but can be queried by cooperating systems.

The components of the STCompHeaterType have additional subcomponents which are defined in Table 38.

TypeOfHeating is describing how the material is heated.

Temperature represents the temperature currently measured and or set.

StandbyTemperature represents the temperature maintained in a standby mode of the heating system.

HeatingPower represents the heating output of the heating system.

HeatingPowerRelative represents the percentage of the maximum heating power currently supplied.

HeatUpTime represents the time that the heating part needs to heat up to the set temperature.

HeatThroughTime represents the time that the heating part needs to heat through completely. The HeatThroughTime starts when first reaching the temperature set in Temperature.

StandbyTimeout represents the time after which the temperature control unit switches to standby mode due to the inactivity of the system.

TypeOfDevice represents the physical design of the heater used.

The component Variables of the STCompHeaterType have additional Attributes defined in Table 39.
