@axiom Thank you.
From the technical data:
Thermal Protection & Control: On board thermal fuse, thermostat, thermistor and PT100 are available
Sorry, but from your photos, I can't see any signal lines from neither a thermistor nor a PT100. Are there separate lines, or is there just one cable with two leads? In other words: if there are both a thermistor and a PT100 as the seller states, how can I select one of these?
-
2 wires for the power supply/mosfet and 2 wires for the sensor. I think the PT100 is welded into the mat and the sensor output is then the connection

That's what I think. But where is then the thermistor?
On the one hand, you have a configuration for a thermistor (at least I think so):
M308 S0 P"bedtemp" Y"thermistor" R4700 T100000 B3950 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin bedtemp… proper temperature readings, and - as it looks - a successful tuning. That tells me: your bed heater has a thermistor. You can't get all this with a PT100 at 106 Ohm resistance and wired without a daughterboard.
On the other hand, your measurement of the sensor's resistance says: there's a PT100 built in.
Which side should I believe? Can you perhaps give me a link to the manufacturer where he elaborates on the "thermal management solution" he proclaims?

@infiniteloop Hello, this is the link from the dealer for the heating mats. I have 4 pieces 400x400x24V.
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. Is an average value then automatically calculated for the sensors? At least that's how I understood the description. -
@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.

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.
