The signal delivered by an RTD Pt100 (two-wire, three-wire, four-wire system) is ampli󹪝ed in the
input stage. The voltage that is proportional to the input variable is then converted into digital
signals by a multiplexer in an analog-to-digital converter. These are converted in the
microcontroller in accordance with the sensor characteristic and further data, e.g. measuring
range or damping.
The signal prepared in this manner is then converted in a digital-to-analog converter into a load-
independent direct current of 4 to 20 mA.
The input and output circuits are each protected against electromagnetic interference through
the use of EMC 󹪝lters.
