2.4.4 Burn-out Detection Function
The RTD input module has the function of burn-out detection on the Pt100, JPt100 or cable.
1) As shown in the Fig. 2.2, if disconnection occurs in the RTD or cable then a voltage outside the
measurable range voltage is inputted by the internal burn-out detection circuit and burn-out detection
error code is generated.
2) The RTD input module can detect disconnection for each channel. But, burn-out detection is possible
only in the channels enabled.
3) If disconnection is detected in two or more wires, first, disconnection error code is generated by 'b' and
then disconnection error code is generated by 'A' or 'b' sequentially. If disconnection is detected
simultaneously in 'A' and 'B', only disconnection error code is generated by 'b'.
