\section{Overview}
The PT100, or platinum wire \ohms{100} sensor is
a widely used industrial temperature sensor that is
slowly replacing the use of thermocouples in many
industrial applications below 600\oc, due to high accuracy\cite{aoe}.
This chapter looks at the most common configuration, the
four wire circuit, and analyses it from an FMEA perspective twice.
Once considering single faults (cardinality constrained powerset of 1) and then again, considering the
possibility of double faults (cardinality constrained powerset of 2).
The analysis is performed using Propositional Logic
diagrams to assist the reasoning process.
This chapter describes taking
the failure modes of the components, analysing the circuit using FMEA
and producing a failure mode model for the circuit as a whole.
