Page 17 Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.3 Grounding, shielding In order to comply with Part 15 of the FCC-regulations applicable to devices of Class B, the system must be grounded. 3.3.3.1 Devices with non-isolated power supply CS devices The DC-supply input on the device itself (LEMO-socket) is not galvanically isolated from the housing (CHASSIS): -SUPPLY input is galvanically connected to CHASSIS internally.
Page 18 Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.3.4 Grounding with power supplied by a car battery imc CL Devices with isolated DC-supply (e.g. battery) If the power supply (e.g. car battery) and the measurement device are at different voltage levels, then if they were connected by the supply line, it would cause a ground loop.
Page 19 Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.3.5 Shielding Also, all signal leads to the device must be shielded and the shielding grounded (electric contact between the shielding and the plug housing "CHASSIS"). To avoid compensation currents, always connect the shielding to one side (potential) only.If the imc DSUB block screw terminal plug is used, the shielding should be connected to the pull-relief clamp on the cable bushing.
Page 20 Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.6 Main switch The main switch of all CS-devices takes the form of a flip switch. The main switch of the CL-devices takes the form of a rocker switch, which activates the device when it is tipped for approx.
Page 21 Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.8 UPS Devices with DC supply input are equipped with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This allows for a continuous operation unaffected by temporary short-term outage of the main power supply. This type of operation is particularly useful for operation in a vehicle, permanently attached to starter lock and main power switch and thus not requiring manual control.
Page 22 Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.8.3 Take-over threshold The voltage threshold at which the storage battery takes over the power supply from the external source is approx. 9.75 V (8.1 V for CS). The take-over procedure is subjected to an hysteresis to prevent oscillating take- over.
Page 23 Notes on connecting Chapter 3 3.3.10 Removable storage For saving measured data, all imc devices support a removable storage medium. The slot for the CF removable memory is located on the front of the devices, see adjacent figure. Removing the removable memory when the device is switched on If you remove the removable storage without notice, defective clusters may result.

Page 27: Connecting Via Lan In Three Steps
Connect the device Chapter 5 In very demanding applications, you might consider grouping multiple GBit Ethernet devices via even higher- performance sections lines of the network (e.g. via 5 GBit Ethernet) and to connect these groups to NAS-components, for instance, via these lines. When such imc devices are included which use network-based PTP-synchronization (e.g. CRXT or CRFX-2000GP), then it is necessary to use network switches which fully support this protocol on the hardware side.

Page 30: Firmware Update
Firmware update Chapter 5 5.4 Firmware update Every software version comes with matching firmware for the hardware. The software only works with devices having the right firmware. Once the program connects up with the unit, the device's firmware is checked. If the software version doesn't match the device's firmware version, you are asked if you want to perform a firmware-update.
Page 31 Firmware update Chapter 5 The following symbols for the individual firmware components appear in the list: Symbols not current firmware conforms to current standards error occurred during update procedure — this option is not available on the device If no status indicators are displayed, no connection could be made to the corresponding device. The duration of the update depends on the amount of amplifiers (can last up to several minutes).
Page 32 Firmware update Chapter 5 Warning Be sure to observe in case of error · For a variety of reasons, the firmware update sometimes does not conclude properly, for example due to interruption of the power supply. For instance, the "handshake signal" at the end of the procedure may be missing.

Page 35: Measurement Types
Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2 Measurement types 6.2.1 Temperature measurement Two methods are available for measuring temperature. Measurement using a PT100 requires a constant current, e.g. of 250 µA to flow through the sensor. The temperature-dependent resistance causes a voltage drop which is correlated to a temperature according to a characteristic curve.
Page 36 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.1.2 PT100 (RTD) - measurement RTD (PT100) sensors can be directly connected in 4-wire-configuration. An additional reference current source feeds a chain of up to 4 sensors in series. With the imc Thermo plug, the connection terminals are already wired in such a way that this reference current loop is closed.
Page 37 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.1.3.1 Schematic: T4 plug Plastic plug (ACC/DSUB-T4, discontinued) Metal plug (ACC/DSUBM-T4) 6.2.2 Bridge measurement Bridge channels are for taking readings from measurement bridges such as resistor bridges or strain gauges. The channels are equipped as non-isolated differential amplifiers and can alternatively be used for direct measurement of voltages.
Page 38 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.3 Bridge measurements with wire strain gauges Strain in this sense refers to the ratio of a body's original length to the change in length due to a force exerted upon it. By selecting "Strain gauge" as the measurement mode, common bridge circuits and configurations for wire strain gauges are offered for selection.
Page 39 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.3.1 Quarter bridge for 120 Ohm strain gauge This strain gauge arrangement uses an active strain gauge which is positioned on the test object in a uniaxial stress field. This strain gauge is joined by three passive resistors within the module to form a full bridge. The strain gauge can have a resistance value of 120 Ω.
Page 40 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.3.3 Poisson half bridge In this circuit, two active strain gauges are used. The strain gauge is positioned transverse to the main direction of strain. The transversal contraction is exploited. For this reason, the Poisson's ratio for the material, which is its transversal expansion coefficient, must be supplied along with the gauge factor.
Page 41 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.3.5 Half bridges with one active and one passive strain gauge This circuit involves strain gauges. The first one is positioned on the test object, the second on a sample of the same material under the same ambient temperature and serves the purpose of temperature compensation. The strain is computed as: Legend: gauge factor...
Page 42 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.3.7 Full bridge with Poisson strain gauges in opposed branches Two active strain gauges are positioned along the longitudinal strain and are joined by two transversally positioned strain gauges to complete the bridge (torsion bar arrangement). In the bridge, the longitudinal strain gauges are located in opposite branches.
Page 43 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.3.9 Full bridge with 4 active strain gauges in uniaxial direction The circuit consists of 4 active strain gauges. Two are under compression and the others under equal tension. The strain gauges under tension are positioned in opposite bridge arms. The sensitivity to the moment of bending is increased.
Page 44 Measurement types Chapter 6 Transverse strain coeff. (poisson's ratio): If a body suffers compression or tension and is able to be freely deformed, then not only its length but also its thickness changes. This phenomenon is known as transversal contraction. It can be shown that for each kind of material, the relative change in length is proportional to the relative change in thickness D.
Page 45 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.4 Incremental Counters Channels The incremental counter channels are for measuring time or frequency-based signals. In contrast to the analog channels as well as to the digital inputs, the channels are not sampled at a selected, fixed rate, but instead time intervals between slopes (transitions) or number of pulses of the digital signal are measured.
Page 46 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.4.1 Signals and conditioning 6.2.4.1.1 Mode The various modes comprise the following measurement types: Event-counting Time Combined measurements · · · events time frequency · · · distance(differential) pulse time speed · · angle (differential) · angle (sum) ·...

Page 48 Measurement types Chapter 6 The derivative quantities displacement and angle measurement have the following settings: · Choice of single-track and dual-track encoder · Start of measurement with or without "Zero impulse" · Number of pulses (per unit) The input ranges and resolutions for the RPM or velocity also depend on the number of encoder pulses set. If the number of pulses is known, the RPM and velocity values can easily be computed using the above table according Parameter Description...

Page 51 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.4.2 Mode (events-counting) Mode - Events Description Events The event counter counts the sensor pulses which occur during a single time interval (differential event counting). The interval corresponds to the sampling time set by the user. The maximum event frequency is about 500 kHz.
Page 52 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.4.3 Mode (time measurement) Time measurement The time measurement mode allows the definition of edge conditions between which the time interval is to be measured. The following combinations are possible: positive edge > negative edge: (↑ > ↓) negative edge >...
Page 53 Measurement types Chapter 6 Pulse Time The point in time at which the edge is located within the sampling interval is determined. This information is needed by some functions in imc Online FAMOS, e.g. for determining the course of the RPMs from a pulse signal: OtrEncoderPulsesToRpm.
Page 54 Measurement types Chapter 6 6.2.4.4 Mode (combined measurement) Mode Beschreibung Frequency Frequency is determined by means of a combination measurement . If the frequency was previously multiplied or divided, this can be reflected in the scaling value. The frequency is always unsigned, for which reason there is no dual-track encoder for it.
Page 55: Measurement With Current-Fed Sensors (Iepe)
Measurement types Chapter 6 6.3 Measurement with current-fed sensors (IEPE) With current-fed sensors (e.g. ICP™-, DELTATRON®-, PIEZOTRON®-, PIEZOBEAM®-sensors), the capacitive burden on the signal due to the cable capacitance can lead to clipped amplitudes for higher frequencies. To avoid signal distortion, try to: 1.
Page 56: Measure With Iepe/Icp Expansion Plug
Measurement with current-fed sensors (IEPE) Chapter 6 6.3.1 Supply current The exact magnitude of the supply current is irrelevant for the measurement's precision. Values of 2 mA tend to be adequate. Only in the case of very high bandwidth and amplitude signals in conjunction with very long cables, supply currents may be a concern, as considerable currents are need to dynamically charge the capacitive load of the cable.
Page 57 Measure with IEPE/ICP expansion plug Chapter 6 · Each channel can be switched to DC-coupled voltage measurement or current-fed IEPE/ICP measurement (AC-coupled); ex-factory the DIP-Switch for each channel inside the plug is switched to IEPE/ICP measurement (AC-coupled) · For the supply of this expansion plug, the amplifier used provides a voltage of 5 V.

Page 60 Measure with IEPE/ICP expansion plug Chapter 6 6.4.3 ACC/DSUBM-ICP2I-BNC(-F,-S) This expansion plug is used to extend imc measurement amplifiers with DSUB-15 sockets with an IEPE conditioning which allows the direct connection of 2 current-fed IEPE/ICP sensors, e.g. IEPE microphones, accelerometers of the type ICP™-DeltaTron®- or PiezoTron® etc. The IEPE conditioning comprises 4 mA current supply and AC coupling and is channel-individually isolated.
Page 61 Measure with IEPE/ICP expansion plug Chapter 6 Two variants of the expansion plug are available: · The S variant (slow) achieves minimum cutoff frequency, thus limits the lower bandwidth of the sensor as little as possible. However, the transient response after plugging in (activation) can take longer (>10 seconds).
Page 62 Measure with IEPE/ICP expansion plug Chapter 6 Basic functionality (ICP-operation) does not require software support and has no associated requirements. However, for support of sensor TEDS functionality and for improved offset performance it is required that the plug is recognized and supported by the operation software. In particular this involves the activation of an additional digital high pass filter to remove some small residual offset that results from the high impedance AC coupling.
Page 63 Measure with IEPE/ICP expansion plug Chapter 6 6.4.3.1 Plug recognition via TEDS function Expansion plug without TEDS Information of the sensor When using the IEPE/ICP-expansion plug without any sensor connected, or in conjunction with a simple passive sensor without any TEDS memory, the software acknowledges this procedure with "apparent" error messages which in reality, however, just reflect the fact that no TEDS data of the actual sensor are recognized.
Page 64 Measure with IEPE/ICP expansion plug Chapter 6 Expansion plug in conjunction with/without TEDS-capable sensor When a sensor with its own TEDS memory is connected, its read out properties are recognized, such as the scaling and the unit. Only in this case, where there is valid TEDS information about the sensor itself, the input coupling of the channel will be displayed as "AC with current supply".
Page 65 Measure with IEPE/ICP expansion plug Chapter 6 6.4.3.2 Software recognition The ICP expansion plug supports ICP transducers with integrated TEDS memory (Class I MMI). The plug itself is also recognized via the TEDS functionality. The TEDS mechanism is used for plug recognition even when the actually used transducer that is connected to the plug does not support TEDS and does not incorporate any TEDS memory at all.

Page 67 Measure with IEPE/ICP expansion plug Chapter 6 Firmware-Update / behavior upon starting In all device families, as a rule the stand-alone device performs plug recognition upon Power-Up. in order to be able to take into account any plug-specific processes for possible autostart configurations. If this has not been successfully verified, an automatic measurement will not be started and a corresponding error message is stored on the onboard flash (device memory).

Page 84: Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous Chapter 7 7.2 Miscellaneous 7.2.1 Filter settings 7.2.1.1 Theoretical background The filter setting is especially important in a signal-sampling measurement system: the theory of digital signal processing and especially the sampling theorem (Shannon, Nyquist) state that for such a system, the signal must be restricted to a limited frequency band to ensure that the signal has only negligible frequency components beyond one-half of the sampling frequency ("Nyquist-frequency").
Page 85 Miscellaneous Chapter 7 The automatic selection of the cutoff frequency in the setting "AAF" is based on the following criteria: · In the pass band, a maximum (AC-) gain uncertainty of 0.06% = -0.005 dB is permitted. The pass band is defined by the cutoff frequency at which this value is exceeded.
Page 86 Miscellaneous Chapter 7 7.2.2 External sensor supply 7.2.2.1 External +5 V supply voltage For a majority of the imc measuring modules there is a 5 V supply voltage available for an external sensors or for the IEPE/ICP expansion plug. This source is not isolated; its reference potential is identical to the overall system's ground reference.
Page 87 Miscellaneous Chapter 7 mode voltage due to the measurement setup, or if the -SUPPLY return lines are already exposed to uncontrolled ground loops, an isolated sensor supply may be advisable. Note The supply voltage is set on each channel group and does apply to all inputs of this group. For the number of channels per group is depending on the type of device.
Page 88 Miscellaneous Chapter 7 7.2.4.1 Optical SYNC Adapter: ACC/SYNC-FIBRE One fundamental feature of all imc measurement devices, is their ability to synchronize multiple devices, even of differing models, and to operate them all in concert. The synchronization is typically accomplished by means of a Master/Slave process via the electrical SYNC-signal, which terminates on the devices at a BNC socket.
Page 89 Miscellaneous Chapter 7 7.2.5 IRIG-B module This external IRIG-B module can convert a time signal in IRIG format to the GPS format NMEA 0183 and thus be used for synchronization of different devices. The expansion module exclusively supports amplitude modulated IRIG signals according to the standards IRIG- B1xx! This is why it can be used both to upgrade older imc device generations which provided no IRIG-B support at all, and to enhance current imc device generations with additional capabilities regarding modulated signals: While many up-to-date imc device series (CRFX, CRC, C-SERIES) offer IRIG-B synchronization via their standard...
Page 90 Miscellaneous Chapter 7 The IRIG-B module comprises a realtime clock (RTC) with a backup battery, which is set to time and date according to the IRIG B-signal received. If the IRIG B year codes received equal "00" (depending on used sub-standard) these are ignored and only RTC time and day values are set, while the year continues to reflect the value resulting from counting since the last update with a valid year number.

CS-1016-FD Chapter 7 7.4 CS-1208-FD CS-1208-FD is a 8-channel universal measurement device, respectively, for voltage and current measurement tasks (20 mA), with sampling rates of up to 100 kHz per channel. In particular, the high bandwidth of 48 kHz, the input ranges from 50 V to 5 mV and the low signal noise predestine this device for high-performance voltage measurements.
Page 97 CS-1208-FD Chapter 7 7.4.1.1 Voltage source with ground reference The voltage source itself already is referenced to the device's ground. The voltage source is at the same potential as the device ground. Example The unit is grounded. Thus, the input GND is at ground potential. If the voltage source itself is also grounded, it is referenced to the device ground.
Page 98 CS-1208-FD Chapter 7 Example A voltage source which isn't grounded (e.g. a battery) and whose contacts have no connection to ground potential is measured. The device is grounded. Note When –IN and GND are connected, be sure that the signal source's potential can actually be drawn to the device ground's potential without an appreciable current flowing.
Page 99 CS-1208-FD Chapter 7 7.4.2 Current measurement · Current: e.g. ±50 mA to ±1 mA For current measurement, the DSUB plug ACC/DSUBM-I4 must be used. This plug is not included in the standard package. It contains a 50 Ω shunt. In addition, voltage can be measured via an externally connected shunt. The appropriate scaling must be set in the user interface.

CS-1208-FD Chapter 7 7.5 CS-3008-FD The measuring inputs (non-isolated, differential inputs) are used for voltage measurement and allow direct connection of any IEPE type sensors via BNC, such as ICP™, DeltaTron®, accelerometers or microphones, see technical details 7.5.1 Voltage measurement ·...
Page 101 CS-3008-FD Chapter 7 Note · In the coupling mode "AC with current supply" respectively "IEPE", an open-circuit current-fed voltage of about 30 V is present at the BNC sockets, which can cause damage to other (non-current-fed) sensor types. For that reason, this mode should only be set for appropriate sensors. It is assured that no current feed is active when the device is started.
Page 102 CS-3008-FD Chapter 7 7.5.1.3 Case 2: Voltage source without ground reference The voltage source itself has no reference to the device's ground, but instead, its potential floats freely compared to the device ground. If a ground reference cannot be established, it's also possible to connect the negative signal input –IN to the ground contact GND.

CS-3008-FD Chapter 7 7.6 CS-4108-FD, CL-4124-FD CS-4108-FD and CL-4124-FD are 8- and 24-channel universal measurement devices, respectively, with sampling rates of up to 50 kHz per channel. They are specially designed for measurement tasks in environments with unclear voltage fields such as test rigs or large-scale machinery. The input channels are electrically isolated, differential and equipped with per-channel signal conditioning including filters.
Page 104 CS-4108-FD, CL-4124-FD Chapter 7 7.6.2 Temperature measurement The input channels are designed for measurement with thermocouples and PT100-sensors (RTD, platinum resistance thermometers). Any combinations of the two sensor types can be connected.A detailed description of temperature measurement is presented here Temperature measurement is performed with the imc plug ACC/DSUBM-T4 .
Page 105 CS-4108-FD, CL-4124-FD Chapter 7 instance by grounding one of the four connection cables: the PT100 reference current source is referenced to the device's frame (CHASSIS), and is thus not isolated. 7.6.3 Current fed sensors At the DSUB-15 sockets, a permanent 5 V supply voltage for external sensors is available.
Page 106 CS-4108-FD, CL-4124-FD Chapter 7 7.6.4 Current measurement · Current: ±40 mA, ±20 mA, ±10 mA ... ±1 mA in 6 ranges A special plug (ACC/DSUBM-I4) with a built-in shunt (50 Ω) is needed for current measurement. For current measurement with the special shunt-plugs ACC/DSUBM-I4, inputs ranging only up to max. ±50 mA (corresponding to 2 V or 2.5 V voltage ranges) are permitted due to the measurement shunt's limited power dissipation in the case of static long-term loading.

CS-4108-FD, CL-4124-FD Chapter 7 7.7 CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD This C-50xx devices provides eight differential, analog inputs with integrated sensor supply for the measurement of resistive bridges or strain gauges, as well as voltage, current and IEPE/ICP-sensors. A software selectable sensor supply is included, for powering of external sensors or resistive bridge / strain gauge networks.
Page 109 CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD Chapter 7 7.7.1.1 Full bridge Please note that the maximum allowed voltage drop along a cable may not exceed approx. 0.5 V. This determines the maximum possible cable length. If the cable is so short and its cross section so large that the voltage drop along the supply lead is negligible.
Page 110 CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD Chapter 7 7.7.1.3 Quarter bridge A quarter bridge can consist of a single strain gauge resistor, whose nominal value can be 120 Ω or 350 Ω. The amplifier internally completes an additional 120 Ω or 350 Ω quarter bridge switchable by software. The quarter bridge has 3 terminals to connect.
Page 111 CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD Chapter 7 7.7.1.5 Balancing and shunt calibration The module offers a variety of possibilities to trigger bridge balancing: · Balancing / shunt calibration upon activation (cold start) of the unit. If this option is selected, all the bridge channels are balanced as soon as the device is turned on.
Page 112 CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD Chapter 7 7.7.2 Voltage measurement · Voltage: ±10 V to ±5 mV in 9 different ranges The input impedance is 20MΩ. (1MΩ when switched off) 7.7.2.1 Voltage source with ground reference The voltage source itself already has a connection to the device's ground.
Page 113 CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD Chapter 7 7.7.2.3 Voltage source at a different fixed potential The common mode voltage (U ) has to be less than ±10 V. It is reduced by ½ input voltage. Example: Suppose a voltage source is to be measured which is at a potential of 120 V to ground.

Page 115 CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD Chapter 7 7.7.3.2 Ground-referenced current measurement · Current: ±50 mA to ±2 mA In this circuit, the current to be measured flows through the 120 Ω shunt in the amplifier. Note that here, the terminal -VB is simultaneously the device's ground. Thus, the measurement carried out is single-ended or ground referenced.
Page 116 CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD Chapter 7 Note There is a voltage drop across the resistances of the leadwires and the internal measuring resistance of 120 Ω which is proportional to the amperage. This lost voltage is no longer available for the supply of the transducer (2.4 V = 120 Ω · 20 mA).

CS-5008-FD, CL-5016-FD Chapter 7 7.8 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD CS-7008-FD and CL-7016-FD are 8- and 16-channel universal measurement devices, respectively, with sampling rates of up to 100 kHz per channel. They are especially well suited to frequently changing measurement tasks. Practically every sensor- or signal type can be connected directly to any of the measurement amplifier's all- purpose channels.
Page 118 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 7.8.1.1 Voltage source with ground reference The voltage source itself already has a connection to the device's ground. The potential difference between the voltage source and the device ground must be fixed. Example The device is grounded. Thus, the input -VB is also at ground potential. If the voltage source itself is also grounded, it's referenced to the device ground.
Page 119 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 7.8.1.3 Voltage source at a different fixed potential The common mode voltage (V ) has to be less than ±10 V. It is reduced by ½ input voltage. Example Suppose a voltage source is to be measured which is at a potential of 120 V to ground.
Page 120 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 7.8.2 Bridge measurement Measurement of measurement bridges such as strain gauges. The measurement channels have an adjustable DC voltage source which supplies the measurement bridges. The supply voltage for a group eight inputs is set in common.
Page 121 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 If the cable is so short and its cross section so large that the voltage drop along the supply lead is negligible, the bridge can be connected at four terminals by omitting the Sense line. 7.8.2.2 Half bridge A half bridge may consist of two strain gauges in a circuit or a sensor internally configured as a half bridge, or a potentiometer sensor.
Page 122 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 7.8.2.4 Sense and initial unbalance The SENSE lead serves to compensate voltage drops due to cable resistance, which would otherwise produce noticeable measurement errors. If there are no sense lines, then SENSE must be connected in the terminal plug according to the sketches above.
Page 123 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 7.8.3 Current measurement 7.8.3.1 Differential current measurement For current measurement the DSUB plug ACC/DSUBM-I2 is mandatory. The ACC/DSUBM-I2 comes with a 50 Ω shunt and is not included with the standard package. It is also possible to measure a voltage via an externally connected shunt.

Transducers which translate the physical measurement quantity into their own current consumption and which allow variable supply voltages can be configured in a two-wire circuit.
Page 125 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 Note · In the imc software user interface, the option isolated thermocouple (default setting) must be activated under Settings - Configuration - Amplifier. This only is available with Coupling DC. Reference Please find here a description of the available thermocouples 7.8.4.1.1 Thermocouple mounted with ground reference The thermocouple is mounted in such a way that it already is in electrical contact with the device ground / chassis.
Page 126 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 Note · The negative signal input -IN may not be connected to amplifier ground point -VB. Connecting them would cause a ground loop through which interference could be coupled in. · If you accidentally activate the option "Isolated thermocouple" on the Amplifier page, there is a danger that a large compensation current will flow through the thermocouple's (thin) line and the connector plug.
Page 127 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 7.8.4.2 PT100/ RTD measurement Along with thermocouples, PT100 can be connected directly in 4-wire-configuration (DSUB-plug: ACC/DSUBM- ). The 4-wire measurement returns more precisely results than the 3-wire measurement since it does not require the resistances of both leads which carry supply current to have the same magnitude and drift. The 2- wire measurement provides the most inaccurate results due to the cable resistances.
Page 128 CS-7008-FD, CL-7016-FD Chapter 7 7.8.4.3 Open sensor detection The amplifier comes with the ability of open sensor detection. Thermocouple: If at least one of the thermocouple's two lines breaks, then within a short time (only a few samples), the measurement signal generated by the amplifier approaches the bottom of the input range in a defined pattern.

Page 179 DSUB-9 pin configuration Chapter 9 Power consumption reserves: · This design guarantees a current of 1 A per node (up to 70°C). In addition, the PTC fuse then slowly starts limiting the current and "disconnecting" the loads. The generally low consumption of the CANSAS modules should not be underestimated, since the power is achieved by the current at a low supply voltage.
