    Hi,

    In my work we have several failures with the fans currently. I would like to know if there are any KRC4 system variables to know the revolutions of the PC fans and the back of the cabinet.

    Thanks!!!

    I already looked in the variables manual but it does not appear. However in KRC2 there was a variable for that. I do not know if it exists for KRC4 that does not appear in the manual.

    hi,

    I have done tests in KRC2 and there are the variables $ PC_FANSPEED and $ CAB_FANSPEED. I have tested these variables in KRC4 and it always gives value 0. Does anyone know anything about this?

    For KRC4 is the same variable and you can also find on the manual for KR4 System Variables.

    $CAB_FANSPEED = Speed of the cabinet fan (external fan)
    $PC_FANSPEED = Speed of the PC fan (internal fan)

    It is located on $OPERATE.dat, that's a protected system dat.

    INT $PC_FANSPEED
    INT $CAB_FANSPEED

    You can load in a INT data and work with it.

    Interesting. These variables appear to have been removed from the latest version of the Variables manual (the 8.1_8.2_8.3_8.4 version, the 2016 edition). They do appear in my 8.1_8.2_8.3, 2012 edition.

    Exactly, in KRC4 they always return value 0 while in KRC2 they give the value of the revolutions of the fans.
