Converting a temperature input to a voltage output in Peer-to-Peer Mode:

1. A Pt100 RTD has a temperature range of -200ºC to +650ºC which equals a range of 850 degrees.

2. The voltage range is (10/4096) * 4095 = FS = 9.998V

3. Resolution of FS / 850 degrees equals 11.76 mV per 1 degree ºC.

4. To convert a temperature to a voltage output, perform the following calculation:

 Must offset the temperature by the lower limit, -200 ºC, so Temperature – (-200)

 Therefore, (Temperature – (-200)) * 0.01176 = Voltage output

 For a Temperature of 85 ºC, Voltage = 3.352 V

Converting a temperature input to a current output in Peer-to-Peer Mode:

To convert a temperature to a current output, perform the same calculation shown above but use 20 mA instead of 10 V.
