Lead wire resistance
When connecting an RTD probe in a two-wire circuit, longer lines may lead to measuring errors.
This value is used to compensate the resistance of the probe line and depends on the line
length. Enter the ohmic resistance of the probe line here to achieve the best possible temper-
ature measurement.
12.5.1 Alarms
A limit value monitoring function with one or two alarms and various alarm types can be acti-
vated for each analog input. In addition, this function is required in order to trigger the collective
alarm of the controller module in the event of deviation above or below the measuring range
(out of range).
This limit value monitoring function is available in addition to the functions described in Chapter
12.9 "Limit value monitoring function", page 106 and is independent of these functions.
