Which is better, the closed-loop 4-wire or the open-loop 5-wire for the core?


After compensation and correction, the sensor core is connected into a closed-loop circuit through thick film circuits.4At this point, regardless of zero position error, TCZ, TCSP, etc., all are within the specified range. However, some customers prefer to use a 5-wire configuration, which means disconnecting the sensor from the closed loop to create an open loop. This allows for a large range of migration by changing the bridge arm resistance, but the problems it brings are also evident: it disrupts the resistance balance of the sensor, leading to increased TCZ error, especially noticeable in small range segments. Currently, due to reduced circuit costs, large migrations can be achieved through circuits; therefore, using a 5-wire open loop for testing is not recommended..
