Secondary Sensor Input Performance
Similar to the primary sensor, the performance of the secondary
sensor input is mainly determined by the analog front-end of
the ADuCM360 with the exception of noise performance.
The analog input was configured to transmit temperature in
degrees Celsius (°C) to a master over the HART communication
path. Analysis was performed on two tests of 100 samples to
quantify the performance.
The first test was performed using the platinum 100 Ω sensor
on the board, and the second test was performed with the sensor
replaced on the board by a standard (fixed) 100 Ω ± 1% resistor.
The performance summary is shown in Table 4, and the signal
plots are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11.
