A method of calibrating temperature of a resistive element having a material with a Curie temperature includes generating a standard resistance-temperature (R-T) curve for the resistive element in isothermal conditions to identify values of the R-T curve and an inflection point at the Curie temperature, generating operational R-T curves for the resistive element over an operational time period, comparing the standard R-T curve to the operational R-T curves, and adjusting the operational curves to the standard R-T curve at the Curie temperature to calibrate temperature of the resistive element.

Resistance calibration and monitoring of thermal systems

An industrial control device includes a display, a body, a first sensor, and a controller. The body includes a facia wall, an inner shroud, and an outer shroud. The facia wall includes a window that is a transparent material aligned to permit the display to be viewed through the window. The inner shroud extends rearward from a rear side of the facia wall. The outer shroud is disposed about the inner shroud and extends rearward from the rear side of the facia wall and is spaced apart from the inner shroud to define a cavity. A seal member is within the cavity forms a seal with a facia plate disposed about the inner shroud. The first sensor detects contact with a front surface of the facia wall. The controller is coupled to an output of the first sensor. The controller is coupled to the display and controls the display.

Industrial control projective capacitive touch interface

An industrial control device includes a display, a body, and a controller. The body includes a capacitive slider sensor, a graphic, and a window. The graphic overlaps the capacitive slider sensor. The window is transparent and aligned with the display to permit the display to be viewed through the window. The controller is coupled to an output of the capacitive slider sensor to receive signals from the capacitive slider sensor. The controller is coupled to the display and configured to control the display.
