Pt100
Platinum 100 Resistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), arethat
exploit the predictable change inof some materials with changing temperature. As they are almost
invariably made othey are often called platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs). They are slowly replacing the
use oin many industrial applications below 600 due to higher accuracy and repeatability.

Sinking
Refers to a device or component that accepts (absorbs) current. Conventional current flows into this sinking device.
Sourcing
Refers to a device or component that provides current. Conventional current flows out of a sourcing device.
SCADA
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. It generally refers to an industrial control system: a computer system monitoring
and controlling a process. The process can be industrial, infrastructure or facility based as described below.
