Access the parameter CAL_STATE_1 and set 2.

0 = User Cal Off (Invalidate user-set calibration

values)

1 = User Cal On (Validate user-set calibration

values)

2 = Calibration Exec (User calibration mode)

Check that the sensor type and number of connection

wires are set correctly for the sensor 1 input.

Refer to Table 5.16 in Section 5.6.4, “Parameters of

Transducer Block,” and apply the low level voltage or

resistance appropriate for the sensor type, to the input

terminals for the sensor 1 input.

Access the parameter CAL_POINT_LO_1, and write

the voltage or resistance value that is currently applied.

Vary the input voltage or resistance to a high level

appropriate for the sensor type.

Access the parameter CAL_POINT_HI_1, and write the

voltage or resistance value that is currently applied.

Access the parameter CAL_STATE_1 and return the

setting to 1 (validate the user-set calibration values).

IMPORTANT

While adjusting one input, connect the correct

sensor to the other input. If you do not connect a

sensor to the other input, set ‘No Connection’ to

the sensor type.

(5) Setting Up the Sensor Matching Function
The sensor matching function is applicable to

Pt100, Pt200, and Pt500 sensors only. The

YTA320 employs the temperature-to-resistance

characteristics of RTDs stipulated by IEC

Publication 751-1995, which permits ranges

of variations for each sensor type, causing

measurement errors. The sensor matching function

allows you to program each sensor’s inherent

constants called Callendar-Van Dusen constants, in

the transmitter, and reduces those errors to improve

the temperature measurement accuracy.

The resistance value of an RTD and the

temperature t have the following relation:

Rt = R0 {1 + α(1 + 0.01δ)t – α • δ/10

t

– a • β/10

(t – 100)t

}

(Eq. 1)

where

Rt = resistance (Ω) at temperature t (°C)

R0 = inherent constant of the sensor

=resistance (Ω) at 0°C

α = inherent constant of the sensor

δ = inherent constant of the sensor

β = inherent constant of the sensor

(= 0 if t > 0°C)

The precise values of R0, α, δ, and β can be

obtained by measuring the characteristics of each

RTD at several temperatures. This relation is also

expressed by a different equation using inherent

constants R0, A, B, and C as shown below.

Rt = R0 {1 + A• t + B • t

2

+ C(t – 100)t

3

}

(Eq. 2)

where

Rt = resistance (Ω) at temperature t (°C)

R0

= inherent constant of the sensor

= resistance (Ω) at 0°C

A = inherent constant of the sensor

B = inherent constant of the sensor

C = inherent constant of the sensor

(= 0 if t > 0°C)

Equations 1 and 2 are equivalent to each other, and

the YTA320 can handle either equation and allows

you to specify either the values of α, δ, and β, or the

values of A, B, and C.
The following shows the procedure to set up the

sensor matching function for sensor 1 by entering

the values of α, δ, and β for example. Also perform

the setup for sensor 2, if connected, in the same

way.
