Abstract: Examples of a optoelectronic transducer module with integrated signal processing for use in thermographic temperature measurement are disclosed. The module includes a light source, an optical element to couple the light to an optical port, a connector configured to connect the optoelectronic transducer module to a fiber optic sensor, a detector to detect an emitted light from the fiber optic sensor and convert the detected emitted light into an electrical signal and a module processing unit coupled to the light source and the detector configured to convert the electrical signal into a set of digital results. The optoelectronic module is in communication with an external processing unit using a high speed circuitry for data aggregation and a low speed circuitry for configuration and firmware upgrade in the module. The opto-electronic module is replaceable during operation to avoid big downtime.
