2.6.2 Fan monitoring with "Smart Cool" and "FAN Service" (option)
"Smart Cool"
Forced−ventilated industrial PCs are always provided with a temperature monitoring
system which is controlled via the "Smart Cool" software.
A thermal sensor measures the temperature inside the housing of the industrial PC. When
a preset temperature is exceeded, the fans of the industrial PC are switched on by "Smart
Cool". When the temperature has dropped again, "Smart Cool" switches off the fans.
A default setting depending on the installed PC components determines which fans in the
industrial PC are to be controlled by the software and at which temperature the fans are
to be switched on.
The software starts automatically together with the operating system and runs in the
background.
You can open the user interface of "Smart Cool" via the identically−named entry in the
system control. The user interface provides option boxes for selecting one of the following
states:
"Smart Cool" state: Temperature monitoring is active and operates as described above
(default setting).
"FAN on" state: All fans of the industrial PC are running continuously.
The assigned state remains selected even after a restart.
"FAN Service"
The "FAN Service" is installed together with "Smart Cool". It monitors the fans of the
Industrial PC and reports (Windows) or logs (log file) the following system states:
ƒ Fan failure
ƒ Faulty or empty buffer battery
The "FAN Service" runs in the background and has no user interface.
The "LogFanService.txt" log file can be found under ...
ƒ Windows XP (Embedded) in the "Smart Cool" program folder
(e.g. "x:\Programs\Lenze\SmartCool\)
ƒ Windows CE in the "x:\Storage\DeviceScanner\" folder
)
Note!
In order that the log files will not get too long, their data are moved to the
"LogFanService.bak" file as soon as the data size exceeds 100 kB.
