RTD measurement

Application on ELM324x

In principle, the electrical resistance measuring range can be set independently of the RTD transformation. For this reason, achievable temperature measurement accuracies are specified below as a function of the electrical resistance measurement range. When selecting the combination, it is important to ensure that the correct, sufficient electrical resistance range is selected depending on the desired area of application of the sensor, e.g. the 50 Ω range in combination with a PT1000 sensor will rarely be useful. A setting must therefore be selected for

RTD measuring range

In temperature mode, only the legacy range is available, the extended range is not available.

The temperature display in [°C/digit] (e.g. 0.1°/digit or 0.01°/digit) is independent from the electrical measurement. It is “just” a display setting and results from the PDO setting, see chapter "Comissioning".

RTD types and transformations supported by the ELM324x

The following transformations are implemented, but can only map a partial temperature range due to the electrical measuring range being limited to 5 kΩ:

The Pt types are implemented in accordance with DIN EN 60751/IEC751 with

and thus α = 0.003851 °C-1. If other coefficients are required, these must be entered directly in the CoE via the "DIN IEC 60751" setting; if only α is used for the calculation, the CoE scaler 0x80n0:2E "linear" must be used.
