### Functional description

#### General

This function block is used to calculate the wet-bulb temperature in degrees Celsius.\
For this purpose, the current values of the air temperature in degrees Celsius and the relative humidity in percent must be provided.

> **Temperature range in degrees Celsius&#x20;*****rTemperature***
>
> The temperature in degrees Celsius may only take values between -20.0 and +50.0 degrees Celsius (inclusive).\
> Values outside the range generate an error state ('xError' = TRUE) and a corresponding error message ('xErrorCode').\
> No calculation of the wet-bulb temperature takes place.
>
> **Relative humidity range in percent&#x20;*****rRelativeHumidity***
>
> The relative humidity in percent may only take values between +5.0 and +99.0 percent (inclusive).\
> Values outside the range generate an error state ('xError' = TRUE) and a corresponding error message ('xErrorCode').\
> No calculation of the wet-bulb temperature takes place.

#### Output for displaying error states *xError*

This output is used to display error states (= TRUE):

1. Temperature outside the range of the temperature in degrees Celsius *rTemperature*
2. Relative humidity outside the range of relative humidity in percent *rRelHumidity*
3. Wet-bulb temperature 'rWetBulbTemperature' > temperature 'rTemperature'
4. Wet-bulb temperature 'rWetBulbTemperature' < (temperature 'rTemperature' - 50.0)

\
In all other situations, the output is not active (= FALSE).

#### Output for displaying error messages *sErrorCode*

This output is used to display situation-dependent error messages in plain text.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.powerio.com/hub/codesys-hvac/en/hvac-library/functionblocks/energy/wetbulbtemperature.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
