NtcConversion¶
A converter from the resistance of a semiconductor to temperature.
The NtcConversion processing block can be found in the ‘Templates’ feature in the PMP installer.
In some systems it can be useful to model the resistance of a semiconductor at different temperatures. The NtcConversion processing block allows the conversion from the resistance of a semiconductor to temperature based on the Steinhart-Hart equation.
Description¶
The implementation of the processing block is shown in Implementation of the NtcConversion processing block.
Implementation of the NtcConversion processing block¶
The elements of the block are directly one-to-one related to the Steinhart-Hart equation, which is given by
\[Temperature = \frac 1{A + B \ln R + C (\ln Resistance)^3}\]
with \(A,B,C\) the Steinhart-Hart coefficients.
