9.5.10Broken Wire Signal for Resistance Thermometers

An open-circuit in the lines to a resistance thermometer is indicated as follows:

If the mode ªwithout broken wire signalº is selected on the module, an

 

open-circuit of the resistance thermometer is indicated with an overflow.

 

Unassigned channels can be used for voltage or current measurement if the

 

current flow outputs relating to the particular measuring channel are shorted

 

with a wire jumper. Without this jumper, the error bit would be set for this

 

channel and the value 0 would be encoded.

When set to ªresistance thermometer,º switch 7 of mode switch I of the 465

Monitoring

analog input module allows broken wire monitoring of the IC+ lines to the

 

resistance thermometer (Pt 100 constant current supply). In the event of

 

open-circuit of this line, the error bit is set as for the other lines.

 

At the ªvoltage/currentº (mV/mA) setting, the IC+ lines are not monitored for

 

broken wire. (The error bit is not set for an open-circuit of this line.) You

 

should choose this switch setting if you exclusively measure voltages or

 

currents.
