PhidgetPowerGuardMBS.FanMode as Integer
Type | Topic | Plugin | Version | macOS | Windows | Linux | iOS | Targets |
property | Phidgets | MBS Phidgets Plugin | 22.1 | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Desktop, Console & Web |
Choose between on, off, or automatic (based on temperature).
If the FanMode is set to automatic, the fan will turn on when the temperature reaches 70°C and it will remain on until the temperature falls below 55°C.
If the FanMode is off, the device will still turn on the fan if the temperature reaches 85°C and it will remain on until it falls below 70°C.

This functionality is critical for protecting power supplies from regenerated voltage coming from motors. Many power supplies assume that a higher than output expected voltage is related to an internal failure to the power supply, and will permanently disable themselves to protect the system. A typical safe value is to set OverVoltage to 1-2 volts higher than the output voltage of the supply. For instance, a 12V supply would be protected by setting OverVoltage to 13V.
The device will connect the input to the output again when the voltage drops to (OverVoltage - 1V)
Unit: volts (V)

PhidgetPowerGuardMBS.PowerEnabled as Boolean
Type | Topic | Plugin | Version | macOS | Windows | Linux | iOS | Targets |
property | Phidgets | MBS Phidgets Plugin | 22.1 | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Desktop, Console & Web |
The output voltage is constantly monitored and will be automatically disconnected from the input when the output exceeds the OverVoltage value.
PowerEnabled allows the device to operate as a Solid State Relay, powering on or off all devices connected to the output.
