How can I calibrate the temperature of my bed
-
@axiom please post your current config.g. Until we understand if you have PT100 or thermistor, it is difficult to advise you.

@axiom Moin,
Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, it isn’t very descriptive, especially concerning the thermal sensors. As far as I understand it, they provide either a thermistor or a PT100, not both. What you get depends on what you order from them. So the problem remains: we don’t know whether your heaters are equipped with thermistors or PT100 sensors.
Today I would then like to connect the mats to the PT100 daugterboards and then connect the outputs in parallel. Then I want to do the autotune.
As long as we are not sure what sensors you got, this is a bad idea. Instead, you can try to configure a single heater with a PT100 daughterboard and see what readings you get at room temperature. Please don’t power the heaters at this stage!

@infiniteloop Ok, then I'll wait, but what should I do?
-
@infiniteloop I just got it now...I should just connect a sensor to the daughterboard and see what is displayed?
-
@axiom Please post your config.g. It will show what command you are using to get the sensor to show the correct room temperature. This will tell us if it's a thermistor or PT100.

As discussed, I have now connected the bed sensor to a PT100 daughterboard.
The console shows 2000 degrees!!!!!Here is the current code:Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 3.3)

Yep. And I see from your config that you've done that. What temperature readings do you now get from the bed heater at room temperature?
-
@infiniteloop 2000 degrees!!!

That's far off. I would like to have @droftarts takes a look at this - I don't know what readings the daughterboard should produce if connected to a thermistor instead of a PT100.
-
@infiniteloop
understand, ask him directly or do I need to contact @droftarts? -
@axiom cooking dinner at the moment! Can you post a picture of how you have wired the bed temp sensor to the daughterboard and Duet?

@axiom Thx. @droftarts will have a look at the photos … after dinner.

@infiniteloop Guten Appetit!

@axiom when you measured the resistance of the sensor at 20C using a multimeter, are you sure it read 106 ohms, not 106 kohms? If it's 106 ohms, it's a PT100. If it's 106 kohms, it's a 100K thermistor.

@dc42 You are right, it is 106 kilo ohms and not ohms... sorry for the wrong statement..
-
@dc42 wenn i am starting the bed heater it shows "hardware error no sensor" without starting it shows 2000 degrees

So if it's 106 kilo ohms it is a thermistor and should not be connected to the PT100 daughterboard. Connect it to the mainboard instead and change your config.g to use values for a thermistor.

Ok, thermistor. So, for a single heater with thermistor, this is what works:
M308 S0 P"bedtemp" Y"thermistor" R4700 T100000 B3950 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin bedtempNow, you have to decide what to do with four thermistors and four heaters. Let's assume you want to control the bed as a single unit - I've understood that you wired all heaters to "Bed Heat", i.e. this connector:
As you have four 24V PSUs, one for each heater, how do you control these? The proper way to do this is to put a SSR (type DC/DC) between the outcome (-) of each PSU and its heater - if you use a single SSR to switch mains power of all PSUs, you risk their early demise: as the signal from "Bed Heat" is pulsed, it switches rapidly between on and off. You can however use the SSR on mains to power the PSUs. How to do this is described in the last paragraph of this link.Now, the thermistors: You should use all of them for a combined reading. How this works is outlined in the documentation under Using multiple temperature sensors for a single heater.
I tend to recommend solution 1 (connect them in series), but never tried that with 4 thermistors… at 400 kOhm, risk of interference with power signals is high. Maybe a serial/parallel combination is better in this case: two thermistors each in parallel, i.e. connected as pairs in series.
