There are only three ways to wire any instrument in the
field. We called them two, three or four wire systems.
Loop powered is the most common and widely used everywhere
to connect the field instruments to PLC's or DCS.

2 wire = 1 wire Pos 24VDC (4 - 20mA signal)(loop Powered)
1 wire 0V

3 wire = 1 wire Pos 24VDC (Instrument supply V)
1 wire 0V (Common for supply and signal)
1 wire Pos 24VDC (4 - 20mA signal)

4 wire = 1 wire Pos 24VDC (Instrument supply V)
1 wire 0V (for supply)
1 wire Pos 24VDC (4 - 20mA signal)
1 wire 0V (for signal)

Also in 4 wire system:

4 wire = 1 wire Live 110VAC (Instrument supply V)
1 wire Neutral 0V (for supply)
1 wire Pos 24VDC (4 - 20mA signal)
1 wire 0V (for signal)

Good Luck

How can we say that accuracy of measurement increases by using 3 or 4 wire RTD? because for example: If resistance of RTD element is say r ohms and Resistance of the cable from transmitter to RTD is R ohms And if 4 wire RTD is used, ____._____________________ R ohms | |_____._____________________ R ohms / \ / r ohms \ \ | |______.__________________ R Ohms | |_______._________________ R ohms Then the actual resistance measured will be: Total = r + R/2 + R/2 = r +R Ohms Note: r+R instead of r ohms. hence error
