7.2.1 Connecting sensors
You can connect 2-wire or 3-wire sensors to the extension module. Take the measuring
errors of the different measuring methods into consideration.
2-wire connection technology
2-wire connection technology is the most cost-effective connection technology. The tem-
perature-related voltage is not directly measured at the sensor and is therefore falsified by
the two cable resistances R
L
. The measuring errors that occur may render the entire mea-
surement useless. Please observe the diagrams in Section “Measuring errors when using
2-wire connection technology” on page 93.
For 2-wire connection technology, an insertion bridge is required between terminal blocks
x.2 and x.3.
Figure 7-5 2-wire connection technology
3-wire connection technology
With 3-wire connection technology, the temperature-related voltage is measured several
times. Corresponding calculations additionally reduce the effect of the cable resistance on
the measurement result. The results are almost as good as those achieved with 4-wire
connection technology.
The cable resistances R
L
at terminal blocks +I and -I must have the same value. This allows
you to subtract the measured cable resistance from the measurement result and to get the
Pt100 platinum resistance value.
