5.2.5 Functional Description
Figure 5.2.5.1: SM-PT100 Schematic Diagram
The SM-PT100 has provision for 4 sets of 4-wire PT100 sensors driven by
an on-board generated 400
µ
A constant current source. The differential
analog input consists of a channel multiplexer, operational amplifier voltage
feedback impedance converter and a high-resolution 16-bit delta-sigma
converter. 1000V DC system isolation is provided by an optoisolated DC/DC
converter while system flexibility is provided by a 256 bytes of serial
EEPROM for ID number, production and board-specific calibration data.
Two front-panel LEDs show the conversion/calibration activity.
The PT100 is a platinum resistance, which at 0ºC has a resistance of 100
Ω
and conforms to the international DIN IEC 751 standard for
Industrial
Platinum Resistance Thermometer Sensors
. Two classes A and B exist under
this standard with class B experiencing a slightly worse initial error.
