2-6 Understanding Configurable FLEX Ex Thermocouple/RTD/mV Input Module Features
RTD Loop Resistance Offset Select
This parameter is used if Input Type Select is set to RTD and Sensor
Mode Select is set to 2-wire with loop resistance compensation. This
parameter then sets total RTD loop resistance compensation for each
RTD channel. Either the value stored for each channel during
calibration is used to compensate the module RTD channels, or one of
3 fixed values is used to compensate module RTD channels.
This parameter is disabled for Cu10 RTDs.
Range: 0 = use channel loop compensation value determined and
stored during calibration procedure for 2-wire RTD, 1 = 5Ω, 2 = 10Ω,
3= 15Ω. Default = 0.
Bits 03-05 Reference Junction – used when input type is set to thermocouple and sensor
mode is set to fixed compensation. Sets a fixed reference junction to compensate
all thermocouple channels.

00-15 (00-17) RTD loop resistance offset select bits – used input type is set to RTD and sensor
mode select is set to 2-wire with loop resistance compensation. Allows you to set
the type of RTD loop resistance compensation used for all RTDs or one of three fixed
values for all channels. NOTE: Not applicable to 10W copper RTD, which defaults to
0W.
