Abstract
An arrangement includes a supply unit of an industrial control system and a superordinate computing unit assigned to the supply unit. The supply unit includes an electronic assembly which includes an electronic component. The supply unit is configured to calculate a first temperature of the electronic component using a first thermal model. The superordinate computing unit is configured to calculate a second temperature of the electronic component using a second thermal model when the supply unit is without current, with the supply unit providing the superordinate computing unit with relevant data for a calculation of the second thermal model. The supply unit and the superordinate computing unit interact in such a way that at least one of the first temperature and the second temperature of the electronic component is calculated.
