Abstract
A temperature monitoring system for monitoring bearing temperatures on a machine is provided. The temperature monitoring system includes a temperature sensing device, a cable assembly, and a sensor assembly including a sensor connector and a microcontroller unit (MCU). The sensor connector is electrically coupled to the MCU and is configured to engage the cable assembly. The MCU is configured to determine a temperature based on an electrical parameter of the temperature sensing device and generate temperature data representing the determined temperature. The MCU is further configured to transmit the temperature data to a sensor hub configured to transfer the temperature data to a display of a user interface. Engaging the cable assembly with the sensor connector causes the MCU to be electrically coupled to a battery, and disengaging the cable assembly from the sensor connector causes the MCU to be electrically decoupled from the battery.
