Abstract
Existing methods and devices for measuring temperature are described, and it is noted that resistance thermometers are most widely used as temperature sensors in systems for collecting and monitoring environmental parameters. It is shown that the main source of temperature measurement errors when connecting sensors remotely is the resistance of the connecting lines, determined by their length. The main methods for reducing the measurement error caused by the influence of the resistance of the vehicle connection line on the temperature measurement results are considered. The advantages of two-wire circuits in comparison with three- and four-wire circuits are formulated. As an analogue, a two-wire method of measuring temperature with an integrating converter is considered in detail, implemented on the basis of a device with a built-in microcontroller, and allowing to obtain such advantages as reducing measurement time, detuning from interference and quantization noise and, as a result, reducing the temperature measurement error in comparison with similar two-wire measurement methods. An alternative two-wire method for measuring temperature with automatic adjustment of the parameters of the measurement algorithm is proposed, aimed at increasing the measurement accuracy by weakening the influence of the time constant. The search for the optimal time of the first integration step was carried out. Experimental studies and evaluation calculations were carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed solution. The coefficient of variation when the resistance of the vehicle changes in the range of 1–4 kOhm lies in the range, and the range of change in the relative error of resistance measurement when using auto-tuning within the specified range has decreased by more than 4 times. The results of the experiment allow us to count on the possibility of using the method in control and regulation systems with remote connection of temperature sensors.
