Temperature

Type: component
PROBLEM

The system needs to know how hot it is before it becomes a different problem.

SOLUTION

Temperature is a passive and active thermal sensing and reporting component providing real-time surface, ambient, and internal temperature telemetry to downstream thermal management, alert, and classification systems. The sensor array supports thermistor, thermocouple, and infrared non-contact measurement configurations depending on whether the target surface is accessible, cooperative, or aware that it is being measured. Output is delivered in degrees Celsius to the operational layer, which converts to Fahrenheit for the American market and to Kelvin for applications where the number needs to be larger and more alarming. Temperature does not regulate. Temperature observes and reports. Regulation is someone else's job and Temperature has made peace with this division of responsibility. Calibration is factory-set and field-verifiable against a reference standard that is included in the documentation and not included in the box. Operational range covers -40°C to 200°C, which is wider than any deployment scenario this component is likely to encounter and which was specified that way because the engineers did not want to have the conversation again.
