From table \ref{ptfmea} it can be seen that any component failure in the circuit
will cause a common symptom, that of one or more of the values being out of range.
So by defining an acceptable measurement/temperature range, and ensuring the
Temperature range calculations and detailed calculations
on the effects of each test case are found in section \ref{pt100range}
and \ref{pt100temp}. So by defining an acceptable measurement/temperature range, and ensuring the
values are always within these bounds we can be confident that none of the
resistors in this circuit has failed.

\subsection{Range and PT100 Calculations}
\label{pt100temp}
PT100 resistors are designed to
have a resistance of ohms{100} at 0 \oc \cite{eurothermtables}.
A suitable `wider than to be expected range' was considered to be {-100\oc} to {300\oc}.

\subsection{Proof of Out of Range Values for Failures}
\label{pt110range}
Using the temperature ranges defined above we can compare the voltages
we would get from the resistor failures to prove that they are
`out of range'. There are six cases and each will be examined in turn.
\subsubsection{ Voltages $R_1$ SHORT }
With pt100 at -100\oc
$$ highreading = 5V $$
Since the highreading or sense+ is directly connected to the 5V rail,
both temperature readings will be 5V..
$$ lowreading = 5V.\frac{2k2}{2k2+68\Omega} = 4.85V$$
With pt100 at the high end of the temperature range 300\oc.
$$ highreading = 5V $$
$$ lowreading = 5V.\frac{2k2}{2k2+212.02\Omega} = 4.56V$$
Thus with $R_1$ shorted both readingare outside the
proscribed range in table \ref{ptbounds}.
\subsubsection{ Voltages $R_1$ OPEN }
In this case the 5V rail is disconnected. All voltages read are 0V, and
therefore both readings are outside the
proscribed range in table \ref{ptbounds}.
\subsubsection{ Voltages $R_p$ SHORT }
Here the potential divider is simply between
the two 2k2 load resistors. Thus it will read a nominal;
2.5V.
Assuming the load resistors are
precision components, and then taking an absolute worst case of 1\% either way.
$$ 5V.\frac{2k2*0.99}{2k2*1.01+2k2*0.99} = 2.475V $$
$$ 5V.\frac{2k2*1.01}{2k2*1.01+2k2*0.99} = 2.525V $$
These readings both lie outside the proscribed range.
Also the sense+ and sense- readings would have the same value.
\subsubsection{ Voltages $R_p$ OPEN }
Here the potential divider is broken. The sense- will read 0V and the sense+ will
read 5V. Both readings are outside the proscribed range.
\subsubsection{ Voltages $R_2$ SHORT }
With pt100 at -100\oc
$$ lowreading = 0V $$
Since the lowreading or sense- is directly connected to the 0V rail,
both temperature readings will be 0V.
$$ lowreading = 5V.\frac{68\Omega}{2k2+68\Omega} = 0.15V$$
With pt100 at the high end of the temperature range 300\oc.
$$ highreading = 5V $$
$$ lowreading = 5V.\frac{212.02\Omega}{2k2+212.02\Omega} = 0.44V$$
Thus with $R_2$ shorted both readingare outside the
proscribed range in table \ref{ptbounds}.
\subsubsection{ Voltages $R_2$ OPEN }
Here there is no potential divider operating and both sense lines
will read 5V, outside of the proscibed range.
