7.1 Tolerances when connecting 3- and 4-conductor sensors at 25°C

Measuring conditions:
– Preferred mounting position of the system in which the
Smart Element is used
– Nominal operation UP = 24 V DC
– Connection of sensors in 3-wire technology
– All channels are connected
– Reference cable type LiYCY (TP) 2 x 2 x 0.5 mm² with a
connection length < 100 m

  Measuring range Absolute tolerance Relative tolerance

(with reference to MRFV)
Lower limit Upper limit Typical Maximum Typical Maximum
Practice -200 °C +400 °C ±0.4 K ±0.8 K ±0.05 % ±0.10%
Standard -200 °C +850 °C ±0.8 K ±1.7 K ±0.10% ±0.20 %

MRFV= Measuring range final value

The data contains the offset error, gain error, and linearity error.
To determine the overall tolerance, please also take into consideration the values for temperature drift (see “Technical data”).
All relative tolerance specifications relate to the positive measuring range end value (MEV) of +850 °C).
Typical tolerance values are measured application values that are based on the maximum variance of all test objects.
The maximum tolerance values represent the worst-case measurement inaccuracy. They contain the theoretical maximum
possible tolerances in the corresponding measuring ranges as well as the theoretical maximum possible tolerances of the
calibration and test equipment. The data is valid for at least 24 months from delivery of the module. Thereafter the modules
can be recalibrated by the manufacturer at any time.

7.2 Tolerances when connecting 2-conductor sensors

When connecting 2-conductor sensors, in addition to the values specified above please also take into consideration the
tolerance due to the cable resistance.

9 For your safety
9.1 Intended use
Use Smart Elements exclusively in accordance with the
specifications in the data sheet and the “Axioline
Smart Elements” user manual.
Please also refer to the documentation for the system in
which the Smart Elements are used.
9.2 Qualification of users
The use of products described in this data sheet is oriented
exclusively to electrically skilled persons or persons
instructed by them. The users must be familiar with the
relevant safety concepts of automation technology as well
as applicable standards and other regulations.
9.3 Disconnecting or plugging in a Smart Element
NOTE: Damage to contacts or malfunction
Before performing work on a Smart Element,
disconnect the power to the Smart Element.
This means:
• Disconnect the connected I/O devices from
the power.
• Switch off the I/O supply voltage UP!
• Switch off the communications power USE.
For the system in which the Smart Element is
used, this means the following: Switch off the
voltage that generates the USE.
9.4 Strain relief
NOTE: damage to the contacts
Physical overloads can result in damage to the
terminal points.
• Relieve strain in the connected cables.
9.5 Locking a Smart Element
Make sure that each Smart Element is locked in its slot.
This is only ensured if the unlocking mechanism has been
pushed into the guide as far as it will go.
See also “Axioline Smart Elements” user manual.

16.4 Reset parameterization (002Dhex: ResetParam)

Use this object to reset certain parameters to the factory default settings (default values).
To reset the parameters, value 01hex must be transferred during write access.

17.1 Harsh environment (0108hex: HarshEnvironment)

Firmware version 1.10 or later.

You can configure the Smart Element with this object for harsh environments to enable use in applications with very high EMC
requirements (significantly higher than the standard limit values). This deactivates the wire-break detection function and
allows for interference-free measurements, even in the case of very high electromagnetic interference.
If you have configured the Smart Element for a harsh environment (object 0108hex = 1), then the permissible sensor
conductor length for the reference conductor type in 3-conductor operation increases to 200 m.

17.2 Response times for diagnostics in the event of a wire break

The following table lists the typical response times for diagnostics if all sensor connection wires are pulled and/or the sensor
conductors are completely interrupted.

ronment” set- data response time

0hex Interference coupling within or slightly 8002hex: wire break < 3 s
above the standard level
1hex Interference coupling significantly higher 8001hex: Measuring range exceeded < 3 s
than the standard level (overrange)

The typical response time of the diagnostic messages was determined between the error event and the message
in the process data. The time also includes the transmission of the data to the controller/controller board in the test
system used.
The cable length in the test setup is <1.5 m.

17.3 Response times for diagnostics if single sensor wires are interrupted
The table below lists the typical response times for diagnostics if single sensor wires are interrupted.

1hex Interference coupling significantly higher 8001hex: overrange or U+ < 3 s
than the standard level 8080hex: underrange I+ < 3 s
I- < 3 s

If the Smart Element is configured for a harsh environment:

Please note that a wire-break diagnosis with the message 8002hex will not be performed in your application if a
single-core wire is broken. Along with the message Overrange 8001hex or Underrange 8080hex, floating measured
values may also arise.

17.4 Wire-break monitoring (0244hex: RTD_WireBreakMonitoring)

Wire-break monitoring is always active. However, you can parameterize whether and how the wire break should be indicated.
You can use this object to parameterize whether or not a wire break should be reported in the diagnostic state object (0018hex:
DiagState) and via LED E. This parameterization has no effect on the mapping of the corresponding diagnostic code to the
input process data.
You can use object 0030hex to parameterize whether or not the corresponding diagnostic code 8002hex should be mapped
to the input process data.
See “Substitute value behavior during I/O error (PDIN) (0030hex: PF_Code)”.
