With WAGO’s temperature signal conditioners, signals from Pt, TC, Ni, KTY and RTD sensors and resistors can be recorded and converted into an analog standard signal on the output side. Whether a resistive temperature device or a thermocouple is used depends on factors such as the maximum temperature range, the installation's environment and the required measurement accuracy:
- Resistive temperature device (RTD): Temperature range up to 850 °C, high accuracy
- Thermocouple (TC): Temperature range up to 2320 °C, better response time
Advantages:
- Signal acquisition of Pt, TC, Ni, KTY and RTD sensors and resistors up to 4.5 kOhm (e.g., Pt100 sensors)
- 2-, 3- and 4-wire connection technology
- Fault signaling: Wire break/short-circuit detection of the sensor
- Signaling measurement range underflow/overflow
