RealPars is light-years ahead of everyone else in terms of explanation, presentation, and slick editing. I'm taking beginner electronics courses and it's just so satisfying to be able to (somewhat) keep up with these videos! Thank you to the good folks @ RealPars!!!!
Wow, Great instruction! Thanks for making these meaningful and animated videos. With these visual presentations for understanding things in detail and delving deeper into the concepts, everything will be better. Best Regards
You can't. An RTD cannot be wired in parallel or in series to a second device. An RTD input supplies a known, regulated ‘excitation’ current to the RTD. Mixing RTD inputs would mix currents, leading to very inaccurate measurements. You can use an RTD transmitter and an analog signal splitter to provide a signal to two separate devices, such as a PLC.
Thank you for your comment! A PT-100 sensor is a type of Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) used to measure temperature. The "PT" in PT-100 stands for platinum, the material used in the sensor, and the "100" refers to the resistance of the sensor in ohms at 0 degrees Celsius. Specifically: * PT: Platinum. Platinum is used because of its stable and repeatable resistance-temperature relationship. * 100: The sensor has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C. PT-100 sensors are widely used in industrial and laboratory applications due to their accuracy, stability, and wide temperature range. Happy learning!

Great video as always by Realparse. I have a question with the resistance table please. What does the row “ 0,1,2,…” symbolizes? I understand the column beneath the degree Celsius symbolizes temperature but I do not understand the row section
That row is actually column headers representing tenths of a degree. So under the 2 column, the value in the row labelled 30C indicates the resistance value for 30.2C.
Question...should the Pt100 RTD be connected directly to the PLC I/O module or can it be wired to an intermediate junction box? Then from the junction box to the PLC on e.g. 3 copper wires?
An RTD should be connected directly to a Temperature transmitter or it can be connected to a terminal block and then run to the PLC. If you use copper wires to run the RTD signal to the PLC, make sure you use a single cable with 3 conductors. This helps insure the resistance on all three wires from the terminal block to the PLC card are as close to being the same as possible.
Excellent info RealPars. We have an RTD that keeps failing. It's installed horizontally in a 3" "T" it keeps breaking near the coupler. Not sure why. Any suggestions?
Strain relief at the coupler. It sounds like there is some tension on the coupling and the wire is being stressed. The platinum wires of an RTD are relatively fragile, so you need to insure there is no strain on the wire or coupling. Try looping the cable before it enters the "T" and support the loop to a bracket or piece of strut so that there is no strain on the wire. Or, install a junction box near the RTD, so that there is nothing pulling on the leads near the instrument. Remember, if you do this, you will need to use special terminal blocks and extension wire compatible with the type of RTD you are using. Also, Pt is a metal, so it will expand and contract with temperature.
Dear sir, As you know, the temperature sensor (RTD PT100) has a specific range (e.g. -200 to 850 ˚C). This sensor transfer temperature to Ohms. That is why it is connected to a temperature transmitter which transfers Ohms into (0-10 V or 4-20 mA) to be able to connect with the PLC. Transmitters also have a specific range (e.g. 0-200 ˚C). My question is since Temperature sensors and Transmitters have got different range, are there certain conditions to fulfil when connections them (like calibration) , would you kindly answer my question? Of course, practical examples are of great importance to me. Thank you and I’m waiting for you reply.
RTD measurements are based on the physical properties of the RTD material, like Pt100. There is no calibration required. The transmitter URL and LRL are set to suit the needs of the application, but there is no additional configuration required beyond telling the transmitter that a 3-wire Pt 100 sensor is connected. If a different type of sensor is to be connected, the proper selections are made and the transmitter does the rest.
The temperature versus resistance chart indicates the exact resistance of the Pt100 RTD at the indicated temperatures. the numbers across the middle of the chart indicate the readings at the temperatures between the temperatures on the left and right (...30, 20, 10, 0, -10, -20, -30....). So in the -10 C row, the column above -1 n the blue shaded row indicates the resistance at -11C, above the -2 row, -12 C, above the -3 row, -13 C, etc.
The total resistance between R1 and R2 is the sum of the resistances, or (RL1 + RL2 + RTD). Since the wires themselves have a resistance (RL1 and RL2), the total resistance between R1 and R2 is overstated. We need to subtract out the lead resistances, which, in a Wheatstone Bridge, is accomplished by subtracting out the resistance between RL2 and RL3. Therefore, we are left with Resistance = (RL1 + RL2 + RTD) - (RL2 + RL3) = RTD + RL1. From this analysis, it is clear that the true temperature reading is biased only by the lead resistance in Lead #1 (RL1), which should be a very small amount. A four-wire RTD configuration eliminates lead resistance bias, but in a different manner.
Pt100 is a type of RTD (Platinum 100-ohm resistance at 0C). An RTD is a sensor, so to answer your question, a Pt100 RTD is a sensor. RTD's can be connected to a transmitter to make it easier to deliver the measured temperature to the PLC or DCS analog input card.
Another great video. I work with RTDs on a Mitsubishi Q series PLC, and have just learned now that Pt refers to the metal platinum! Also the explanation for why they have 3 wires and why they have the "100" designation! Brilliant, clear and well-explained video. Also the recap at the end is excellent.
1. 250 meters would be about the max for 20AWG wires. any longer, and the wire resistance will become significant. Use a transmitter at the location of the RTD, and the 4-20ma current loop can be run up to about 1000 meters. Obviously, you will need a different card at the PLC (Analog Input instead of an RTD card). 2. No, RTD Temperature transmitters can be loop powered (by the analog input card).
@@realpars 250 meters range is for 2 wire RTD or 3 wire RTD? Can you tell me the maximum distance that a 3wire RTD can send signals to DCS or PLC without a transmitter?
J type is a type of thermocouple. Thermocouples differ from RTDs drastically. Where temp. changes alter resistance in RTDs, temp changes alter the voltage generated by thermocouples. The voltage generated is very minimal (think mV ranges) but linear in its change across the range of temps. This is due to the compositons of the 2 metals of the wires in a thermocouple. They are 2 dissimilar metals joined together. Which brings us to the type you mentioned...There are a multitude of thermocouple types... j, k, t, r, s, etc. And these designations define the types of metals used in the wires. The different types have differing ranges of optimal use. But j and k types seem to be industrial standards for general purpose. Lastly I'd say thermocouples could be cheaper but for the most part less accurate than rtds.... this isn't always true, just generally. Anyway I hope this helps
Hi Tangara, Thanks for your comment! We currently only provide our course videos in English, you are always able to turn on the English subtitles as that might make it a bit easier for you. Our apologies for any inconvenience! Happy learning!
Thank you for the video! I have few questions. Is it ok to bend the pt100 core? What happens if for example, I have to measure the temperature with the tip of the sensor, but along it's length it has contact with some other parts? Does it affect on the measurements? Thank you in advance.
It is best to not bend an RTD probe, as it is typically constructed with an insulating material around the mandrel and lead wires. If the insulating layer is damaged, it can affect the RTD circuit (short circuit, grounded to sheath, etc.). The bulk of platinum wire is concentrated at the tip of the probe (mandrel) and preferentially will measure the temperature at that location. However, the part of the probe not submerged in the fluid can slightly affect the temperature reading, so RTD probes should be specified at the appropriate length to minimize measurement error.
Once I get a job I will buy your membership...

How I can connect single RTD signal with parallel, so I can use RTD signal for two different devices
You can't. An RTD cannot be wired in parallel or in series to a second device. An RTD input supplies a known, regulated ‘excitation’ current to the RTD. Mixing RTD inputs would mix currents, leading to very inaccurate measurements. You can use an RTD transmitter and an analog signal splitter to provide a signal to two separate devices, such as a PLC.

Hello ,
Can someone please explain how did we get this equation? Rtotal=Rl1+Rl2+Rtd-(Rl2+Rl3)
Thank you ,
Best regards to the team!
The total resistance between R1 and R2 is the sum of the resistances, or (RL1 + RL2 + RTD). Since the wires themselves have a resistance (RL1 and RL2), the total resistance between R1 and R2 is overstated. We need to subtract out the lead resistances, which, in a Wheatstone Bridge, is accomplished by subtracting out the resistance between RL2 and RL3. Therefore, we are left with Resistance = (RL1 + RL2 + RTD) - (RL2 + RL3) = RTD + RL1. From this analysis, it is clear that the true temperature reading is biased only by the lead resistance in Lead #1 (RL1), which should be a very small amount. A four-wire RTD configuration eliminates lead resistance bias, but in a different manner.
@@realpars I understood. We add one more wire to balance the losses.
