What is Resistance Thermometer element ?
Measurement principle is based on the property of metals, that the resistance of metals changes
linear depending on the temperature. PT100 is normally used as the metal. (The resistance of
the platinum is 100 Ωat 0 ºC)
Voltage drop of the thermometer element can be measured by supplying a constant current of 1
through 5 mA ( 2 mA in this module) to the resistance thermometer element, and therefore the
temperature can be calculated by the voltage drop.
Use a resistance thermometer element complying with IEC 751 for this module.

1.1 Before Use
The resistance thermometer module (Here after EH-PT4) has been carefully manufactured, but you
are kindly advised to make the following checks on receipt of it.
(1) Check whether the module is the right one or not.
(2) Check whether the module was not damaged during transportation.
(3) Check the contents of the package, as below.

1.2 Precautions on Use
(1) Before the installation and removal of the module, turn off the power.
(2) Before the connection of the external wiring and removal of the terminal board, turn off
the power.
(3) The terminal board handless fine signals. Therefore upon handling the module or
wiring,
be careful not to apply a voltage on it by mistake or leave it under the influence by
excessive static electricity.
(4) Upon the connection of external wiring, before work, eliminate static electricity by
touching a grounded metal bar to prevent it from being damaged by excessive static
electricity charged on the human body. To prevent a malfunction due to static
electricity
do not touch the terminal during power feeding.
(5) When the connection cable to a resistance thermometer element is cut, the temperature
conversion data becomes abnormal. If the temperature data exceeds the normal
range to protect the external devices, adjust the control system so that the external
devices operate with safety.
(6) If the resistance of a resistance thermometer element (RTD) exceeds 250
ohm(corresponding to about 410ºC ) at PT100, or 2500 ohm(corresponding to about
410ºC ) at PT1000, except when the line is broken, the temperature conversion data is
unstable.
1.3 Features
(1) EH-PT4 applies for two kinds of platinum resistance thermometer elements:
Pt100(IEC 751) and Pt1000.
(2) Temperature measurement range: Three kinds of ranges(selected by switch)
Resistance thermometer
elements Temperature measurement range(ºC) Accuracy(ºC)
Pt100 -50 to + 400 ± 3
Pt100 -20 to + 40 ± 0.5
Pt1000 -50 to + 400 ± 6
(3) Because the accuracy of the temperature measurement range -20 to +40ºC is ±
0.5ºC,EH-PT4 is suitable for exact measurement.
(4) Temperature conversion data: 15 bits with sign.
(5) Number of Inputs: 4 channels, 3-wire system.

1. Introduction

1.4 Principle of Operation
The EH-PT4 is able to measure the temperature by supplying constant current to PT100/1000 and by measuring
the voltage drop of it, which is based on the linearity between the resistance of PT100 and the temperature. The
operation of the input part of EH-PT4 is shown below.

1) Lock button This is used when removing the module from the base
unit. After it is installed to the base unit, the fixation can
be reinforced using screws. In this case, use M4x10mm
screws.
2) I/O cover This is the cover attached to the terminal block area.
3) Terminal block This is the terminal block for connecting input signals. The
terminal block can be connected or disconnected.
4) Setting Switch This is used for setting of temperature range. Refer chapter 6.
Item Detailed explanation Remarks
Operation explanation The module receives input signals from outside. While the
module energized,
The CPU module recognizes the status of the loaded
module and when it matches the I/O assignment
information included in the user program. Input
information is received according to the contents of the user
program.
Terminal block The screws for the terminal block are M3 screws. Use a
crimp terminal that fits the screw diameter. The maximum
thickness of the cable should be only up to 0.75 SQ,
The recommended crimp terminal is indicated below.

7.3 Example of Calculation
Following example program converts the hexa data in WR0 to BCD 4 digit data in WM006. If the temperature is
negative, R0 will be "1".
(1)WR0 is extended to double word data because the calculation with sign can be operated by double word.
(2)(3)Since the calculation with radix point is impossible, DM0 is multiplied by 100 and divided by 4096.
(4) If the temperature is negative, R0 will be "1".
(5)WM2 is converted to the absolute value WM4.
(6)WM4 is converted to BCD 4 digits value.
EXT (DM000,WR0000) (1)
DM000 = DM000 S* 100 (2)
DM002 = DM000 S/ 4096 (3)

Note 1) At the range from -50 to +400 ºC of Pt100, the input temperature range is from -50 to +400 ºC. But the
temperature data is output from -60 to +410 ºC.
Note 2) In case of Pt1000, the resistance is 10 times of PT100.

8. Error Detection Processing
8.1 Measured Temperature Range over
(1)Interlock
If temperatue conversion data is over the measuring range or current terminal wiring is disconnected, the
tempearature conversion data becomes H7FFF.
If H7FFF is read, it is necessary to make a program externally for detection the error.
Example of an error detection program
Please take a proper countermeasure by using the coil Yb.
Set the numbers of the “a” and “b” corresponding to the actual system.
M0008 Xa
Yb
Yb
The program checks for
error data.
When one error data is
found, M8 is turned on.
For error data, Yb is turned
on.
Xa is for reset.
WM000 = H0000
M0000 = WX000 == H7FFF
M0001 = WX001 == H7FFF
M0002 = WX002 == H7FFF
M0003 = WX003 == H7FFF
M0008 = WM000 <> H0000
