6.4.3.2 Measurement with PT100 (RTD) (Type: Standard DSUB)
Besides thermocouples, it's also possible to connect Pt100 sensors directly in 4-wire-configuration. A
(supplementary) reference current source feeds up to four sensors connected in series jointly.
When the imc-Thermoplug is used, the connection terminals are already wired in such a way that this
reference circuit is "automatically" closed.
Example for one PT100 in 4-wire configuration
Example for two PT100 in 4-wire configuration
6.4.3.3 Measurement with PT100 (RTD) (Type: LEMO)
With the LEMO terminals at the IP65 housing SL it's only possible to connect Pt100 sensors directly in 4-
wire-configuration. A (supplementary) reference current source feeds the sensor. How to connect a
Pt100 sensor is shown below.
