Figure 1: Learning card 31 - Temperature control of a boiler

Functional description
The temperature in a vessel filled with liquid has to be controlled with pilot lamp (P1).
For this reason a temperature sensor is built-in. The source of the heat is not taken into
account. Analog to the temperature 0 to 100 °C the sensor supplies a voltage of 0 to
10 V.
A pilot lamp P1 is used to signal the temperature values.
At a temperature of under 60 °C (59 °C) the pilot lamp P1 is continuously on.
At temperatures between 60 °C and 85 °C the pilot lamp P2 flashes slowly with a clock
frequency of 0.625 Hz. At temperatures between 86 °C and 90 °C the pilot lamp P2
flashes rapidly with a clock frequency of 10 Hz. At a temperature of 90 °C or more the
pilot lamps P1 and P2 goes out and a horn (buzzer) starts to sound with a clock
frequency of 1 Hz.
