The module linearizes the resistance thermometer characteristics. In order to keep measuring
errors as small as possible, it is necessary by all means to have all the involved conductors in
the same cable. All the conductors must have the same cross section.
In order to avoid error messages from unused analog input channels, it is useful to configure
them as "unused".
Connection of Resistance Thermometers in 4-wire Configuration
When resistance thermometers (Pt100, Pt1000, Ni1000, Cu50) are used, a constant current
must flow through them to build the necessary voltage drop for the evaluation. For this, the
module AI531 provides a constant current source which is multiplexed over the 4 analog chan-
nels.
