Is there a way to install the lm-sensors package on a PFC200 Controller?
Or to be more specific: How can we get the CPU temperature and system supply voltage from a PFC200?

It’s not available in PFC, only TP & EDGE Ctrl:

thermal_zone directories direct us to thermometers placed on the board.

You can read them easy without any external program:
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
EDGE Computer:
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp
