Instruction 16: Temperature From Platinum RTD
This instruction uses the result of a previous RTD bridge measurement to calcu-
late the temperature according to the DIN 43760 specification adjusted (1980) to
conform to the pending International Electrotechnical Commission standard. The
range of linearisation is -200
o
C to 850
o
C. The error in the linearisation is less than
0.001
o
C between -100
o
C and +300
o
C, and is less than 0.003
o
C between
-180
o
C and +830
o
C. The error (T
calculated
- T
standard
) is +0.006
o
C at -200
o
C and
-0.006
o
C at +850
o
C. The input must be the ratio R/R
0
, where R is the RTD
resistance and R
0
the resistance of the RTD at 0
o
C (see examples in Section 7). A
multiplier of 1 and an offset of zero gives temperature in
o
C.

Instruction 17: Internal Temperature
This instruction measures the temperature (
o
C) of a thermistor on the CR10X ana-
logue board inside the CR10X module.
This temperature is generally not adequate for use as a
thermocouple reference temperature.

Instruction 18: Move Time to Input Location
This instruction takes the current time in seconds into the minute, minutes into the
day or hours into the year and does a modulo divide (see Instruction 46) on the
time value with the number specified in the second parameter. The result is stored
in the specified input location. Entering 0, or a number which is greater than the
maximum value of the time for the modulo divide, results in the actual time value
being stored.
