Temperature sensors - Thermocouples

What are Thermocouples?
Thermocouples are sensors widely used in
the industries to measure temperature

Operating principle
Made of 2 different conductors
A current will flow due to a difference in
temperature between the 2 junctions !
Thermoelectric effect
The voltage measured at one end is a
function of the temperature at the other end

Types of Thermocouples
There are altogether 8 types ! Type J & Type
K are the most common

Temperature sensors - RTD

What are RTDs?
" RTD is the abbreviation for Resistance
Temperature Detector

Operating principle
" The RTD element is made from a pure
material, typically platinum, nickel or copper.
" It has a predictable change in resistance
as the temperature changes

Types of RTDs
" The most commonly used is Pt100
" It has a nominal resistance of 100 at 0 C
('Pt' is the symbol for platinum, 100 for the
resistance in ohm at 0 C)

Process control algorithm for RTC48

On/Off

ON/OFF, Hysteresis
This is discrete control
methodology and suitable for
simple elementary systems
(where accuracy is not
important)

Schneider Electric - Industry Business ! H2I ! Relays Business ! Zelio RTC48

PID

PID control
The is much more sophisticated
and involving the use of
mathematical algorithms inside
the controller to provide stable
temperature control.
The PID parameters can be set
manually or by auto-tuning.

parameter = Correct rise and slight offset

parameter = Compensates for the offset

D parameter = Counters any deviation
