# Industrial Specification: Control Output Module

## 1. Technical Definition
Electronic module that converts control signals into physical outputs to regulate temperature in industrial systems.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **4-20 mA control signal input, 0-10 VDC output, -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Output current exceeds 25 mA continuous or 50 mA transient for &gt;100 ms, junction temperature &gt;150°C**, Mechanism: **Thermal runaway in power transistors due to excessive current density (&gt;10^6 A/cm²) causing electromigration and joule heating beyond silicon's melting point (1414°C)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
