Temperature measurement
The circuit arrangement shows the connection of a Pt100 in 3-
wire technology, using the 3-channel Zener barrier Z954. The
whole system is quasi ground-free. All 3 barriers have identical
end-to-end resistances, so that the resulting error is restricted
to a minimum. The system is approved for [EEx ia] IIC.
The circuit consists of a system of a maximum of seven
Pt100s. The Pt100s are connected in series to a constant
current source. Each voltage signal is transferred to a receiver
via a Z954.
The Z954s have been selected due to their high end-to-end
resistance. Due to the high input resistance of the receiver, the
high end-to-end resistance has practically no effect on the
accuracy of measurement.
