Block diagram of the Temperature Software Module
Signal Acquisition
This module is responsible for the A/D conversion of the analog signal from the temperature
transducer. The Signal Acquisition module provides a raw temperature value to the Average
Calculation module. The module also performs various self-tests and consistency checks to
ensure proper operation and reports errors and failures to the Alarming Module.
Average Calculation
This component averages the raw measured temperature values over an interval of 1 second.
The averaged values are converted to the user-selected unit.
Temperature Alarming
This component generates high/low alarms if an alarm limit is exceeded. Additionally, a
technical alarm is generated if no temperature can be measured.
Temperature User Controls
This component controls the user-selected settings:
• Set temperature alarm limits
• Select the temperature measurement units
