Measuring Temperatures
Measured temperatures are transmitted by the TempScan20 via the CAN bus. The PowerView3 from MOTORTECH offers the following options:
- Switch of the digital outputs
Further information can be found in the PowerView3 operating manual.
Further Processing of Recorded Data on the PC
With the help of the MOTORTECH Trend Viewer, you can process data on your PC that has been recorded with the PowerView3. The software provides the following options:
- Visualization of data
- Export of data as CSV file
- Export of data as graphic file
Further information can be found in the MOTORTECH Trend Viewer operating manual.
Internal Status
The Status view is accessed via the Internal Status button in the view Settings.
With the buttons
and
, switch to the view Reference Junction.

The Status view supports service personnel when troubleshooting. The following information is provided:
- Error React Delay [ms]
Information on the time after which a digital output of the PowerView3 is switched when a warning threshold or shutdown threshold has been exceeded or not reached. - Power Supply Measured
The internal supply voltage varies depending on the external supply voltage of the TempScan20. - ADC Filter Frequency
Information on the filter frequency of TempScan inputs. - Start in Operational Mode
The Value 0 indicates that the TempScan is not automatically set to operational mode when the device is started. Therefore, prior configuration of the device is possible.
The Value 1 indicates that the TempScan is automatically set to operational mode when the device is started. Therefore, prior configuration of the device is not possible.
Reference Junction

In order to determine a temperature with thermocouples, you need a reference junction temperature.
- Input Field Value [°C]
Information on the temperature currently measured at the reference junction. - Auto Correct on [bits]
The hexadecimal number 3FF indicates that the reference junction temperature is used to determine the temperature with the thermocouples. If any other value occurs, contact MOTORTECH service.
