4. Functionality
The C1411 operates as a precision temperature measurement interface for Pt100 sensors. The device measures the resistance of the connected RTD element, converts it into a temperature value using an internal linearization algorithm based on the standard Pt100 curve (α = 0.00385), and transmits the result as a digital ASCII string via its RS232 interface.

Working Principle:
1. The module applies a stable 0.25 mA excitation current to the Pt100 sensor.
2. The resulting voltage drop across the sensor is measured and converted into resistance.
3. The internal microcontroller linearizes the resistance value according to the Pt100 temperature-resistance relationship.
4. The computed temperature is formatted as an ASCII string and transmitted through the RS232 serial port.
5. The galvanic isolation between input and output ensures that electrical noise or potential differences do not affect measurement accuracy.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Industrial process monitoring and control systems
