The bits returned in WX 55 indicate an open RTD for a particular channel.

Floating Inputs

If no RTD is connected to an input channel the value returned to the PLC is unpredictable.

The inputs on the SIMATIC 505±2557 are floating; that is there are no internal pull up or pull down circuits to force the input to either a maximum or minimum temperature value. Unused inputs therefore should be terminated by shorting the V+ and G terminals together.
