Using PTC resistors
PTC resistors are suitable for temperature monitoring of electrical devices, such as motors,
drives, and transformers.
Use Type A PTC resistors (PTC thermistor) in accordance with DIN/VDE 0660, part 302. In
doing so, follow these steps:
1. Choose "Resistor (2-wire terminal)" and "PTC" in STEP 7.
2. Connect the PTC using 2-wire connection technology.
If you enable the "Underflow" diagnostics in STEP 7, it will be signaled for resistance values
<18 Ω. In this case, this diagnostic signifies "Short-circuit in the wiring".
The following figure shows the address space assignment for the AI 8xU/I/RTD/TC ST
module with PTC resistors.
