Overview:
The Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) monitors temperature in many industrial applications. In a distributed control system (DCS) or programmable logic controller (PLC), a data acquisition module can be used to monitor many RTD temperatures installed remotely. In high-performance applications, if each RTD has its own excitation circuit and ADC, it has the best accuracy, but the data acquisition module will be bulky, costly, and power efficient. Multiplexed modules have the features of smaller size, lower cost, and lower power consumption, but may lose some accuracy performance. This article discusses how to minimize multiplex system errors.
The circuit architecture provides two-wire, three-wire, and four-wire RTD configurations, with a two-wire configuration with the lowest cost and a four-wire device with the best accuracy. Three-wire RTDs are commonly used in industrial applications and can be excited by two identical current sources to eliminate pin resistance. When used with a precision reference resistor, the current source error does not affect the measurement accuracy. High-performance ADCs such as the AD7792 and AD7793 integrate an excitation current source for high-precision RTD measurements.
Figure 1 shows an on-chip current source that excites two three-wire RTDs. The RTD channel can be selected by a multiplexer such as the ADG5433 high voltage, latch-proof, triple SPDT switch.

Only one RTD can be measured at a time. S1A, S1B, and S1C Close Measurement RTD #1; S2A, S2B, and S3B Close Measurement RTD #2. A single ADG5433 can switch between two 3-wire RTDs; additional multiplexers can be added to handle more than two sensors. RLXX represents the resistance introduced between the RTD and the measurement system due to the excessive length of the wire and the on-resistance of the switch.

A waterproof slip ring is a type of sealant that can be used to create a watertight seal between two surfaces. This seal can be used in a variety of applications, including plumbing and automotive manufacturing. Waterproof slip rings are often used in conjunction with other types of seals to create a watertight system. It enables liquid and gas to flow freely between the two, without any leakage. This essential technology is used in a variety of industries, from automotive manufacturing to food processing.
Waterproof slip rings are mainly made of silicone rubber. They can be used in harsh environments and have a long life span. Silicon is an inert material and does not corrode in water or other liquids. It also has a low coefficient of friction, which makes it ideal for use in moving parts. Slip ring motors are typically used in high-power applications where large amounts of the current need to be transmitted. They are made of copper or aluminum to provide good electrical conductivity.
The Oubaibo waterproof slip ring is very popular on the market. It is made of high-quality materials and has a long lifespan. The slip ring is also very easy to use, and it can be connected to a wide range of devices. Additionally, the slip ring is Ethernet-enabled, which makes it perfect for industrial applications.
