The invention relates to the field of automatic control, in particular to a general configuration software control system for an axial flow fan. The general configuration software control system comprises a control module and a temperature detecting module. The control module comprises a controller. The temperature detecting module and the controller are electrically connected. The temperature detecting module includes an air cylinder fixedly disposed on a heat dissipating oil pipe. A contact piece is disposed between one end of the air cylinder and the heat dissipating oil pipe. A gap existsbetween the other end of the air cylinder and the heat dissipating oil pipe. A piston rod is arranged at one end, far from the contact piece, of the air cylinder. The air cylinder and the piston rod are both made of inorganic insulating material. The piston rod and the heat dissipating oil pipe are mounted in parallel. The piston rod is provided with a thermocouple thereon for measuring the temperature of the heat dissipating oil pipe. A gap is set between the thermocouple and the heat dissipating oil pipe. A temperature signal detected by the thermocouple is sent to the controller for storage. The controller and the thermocouple are connected with a backup power source thereon.
