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

The FanMode dictates the operating condition of the fan.

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.

PhidgetPowerGuardMBS.OverVoltage as Double

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Phidgets	MBS Phidgets Plugin	22.1	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌ No	Desktop, Console & Web

The device constantly monitors the output voltage, and if it exceeds the OverVoltage value, it will disconnect the input from the output.

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)

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

When PowerEnabled is true, the device will connect the input to the output and begin monitoring.

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.
