Chapter 5 Analog Modules
The two- and three-wire measurement methods shown in figure 5.2.5.2 are
not compensated and will experience errors due to line-resistances. The best
and recommended method is the 4-wire system shown in figure 5.2.5.1.
which eliminates all line resistances automatically. The sense lines, being
connected to a high impedance differential amplifier (10M
Ω
), introduce
almost zero error resulting from line-resistances.
Table 5.2.5.2 shows the deviation from the required temperature for both
class A and class B PT100 sensors.

Driver software running under OS-9 supplies linearization data for use with
DIN standard PT100 sensors. The on-board EEPROM contains board
specific calibration data for self calibration purposes.
