Abstract

The temperature monitoring system for BES-III experiment is described. The paper covers characteristic of this system. The temperature and humidity sensors are commercial products with digital outputs. Two types of custom design readout modules, which have standard 485 outputs, are designed to interface with detection sensors. The readout modules are communicated with control computer using USB-485 converters. The system is very flexible and cost-effective.
