For RTD and linear resistance input sensors, cable resistances of up to 50 W per wire can be
compensated if 3- or 4-wire connection is configured.
For thermocouple sensors, cold junction temperature errors can be compensated, either by an
internally mounted temperature sensor, or by an accessory connector with a built-in temperature
sensor. The selection of CJC measurement must be done and verified by the end user.
6 Functional specification of the non-safety functions
The status relay (terminal 33 and 34), error signal on power rail (terminal 91) and LED outputs
are not suitable for use in any Safety Instrumented Function.
