Pt100 sensors demand more conditioning effort than other sensors as the resistance change over temperature is very small. The problem gets worse with distance: the resistance of the cable adds to the signal resistance with the effect of wrong results. Pt100V4 amplifies the sensor signal and compensates cable effects.

Pt100V4 produces a reference current of about 1mA to result in a voltage change over the sensor resistance. This voltage is amplified to give a 5V span over the desired temperature range. A common way to account for long cables is the 3-wire-connection. This allows to measure the voltage over the shorted line resistance in comparison to the voltage over the sensor resistance. Substracting these voltages results in a signal voltage that is independent of cable resistance. Pt100V4 works with 3-wire technology. The typical accuracy at a module temperature of 25°C is ±0,3°C. It requires 18..24V auxiliary voltage.

 

Although Pt100V4 looks like a TSM module, the TSM-CPU cannot directly read the module but requires 4 analog inputs. Pt100V4 has a 5-pin-screw terminal block to connect the conditioned 0..5V outputs to an analog input.
