Heater 1 fault

@gabi68 Sounds more like a wiring issue, or a failed PT100. If you have a multimeter you can check the resistance on the wires; use this table to check the resistance of the PT100 at different temperatures: https://www.sterlingsensors.co.uk/pt100-resistance-table
PT100 will be more reliable if you wire it 4-wire, too; see https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/2016/06/25/more-delta-printer-upgrades-wifi-and-silence/
When using a 2-wire PT100 sensor, any additional resistance in the wires and connections between the sensor and the electronics will cause an increase in the reading, by about 1°C per 0.4 ohm. This inaccuracy can be avoided by using a 4-wire connection. So I chose the 4-wire configuration for greatest accuracy. However, as long as you are careful to make good connections, the sensor will work just fine in 2-wire mode and you can save some wiring.
Wiring a 2-wire PT100 as 4-wire is further down the page. Also see this post re loose connections at the cartridge, and avoiding running wires near high current wires: https://forum.duet3d.com/post/35691

Tryed that still nothing. Connections are as follows:
Smart efector side Duet side
Pin 1 Unconnected
Pin 2 Pin 2 PT100
Pin 3 Pin 3 PT100
Pin 4 UnconnectedInput 2
H+ to E0 VIN
H- to E0-config.g
; Heaters
M305 P0 T100000 B4138 C0 R4700 ; Set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0
M143 H0 S120 ; Set temperature limit for heater 0 to 120C
M305 P1 X200 ; Set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 1
M143 H1 S280 ; Set temperature limit for heater 1 to 280CThe z probe flash twice at startup and reacts on every tap.
Led and fan working properly.
Having the prvided resistor between pin 2 and 3 on the PT100 report 0 C
Still heater 1 fault.
Before order a thermistor (bed is working like that very accurate), what else should I do?Thank you

Do you have the jumper fitted for 2 wire PT100 on the smart effector?
Have you tried connecting the PT100 directly to the daughter board? -
@jay_s_uk
The jumpers are in place. PT100 is inseterd and plastic prong is in place. Anything else, please? -
I would suggest checking the PT100 with a multimeter to make sure the resistance reading is correct.
I would also use a multimeter to check your point to point wiring to make sure there are no breakages in the cable or poorly made crimps. -
@gabi68 Would have been good to mention you were using a Smart Effector! Have you actually measured the resistance of the PT100? You need to check at each connector. I don't see how this is a config/Duet issue, as you get 0ºC with the resistor.

I just checkit. The resistance is under 1 ohm and the continuty is there for all cables. According to the PT100 resistance table I should see values between 107 and 111 ohm.
I agree is not a duet issue, but this (PT100) is sold like an addon for duet. Any advice, please?Gabi

@gabi68 Contact the seller and ask for a warranty replacement, as the PT100 seems to be faulty. I'd connect the 100ohm resistor to the pins on the SmartEffector, which should check continuity and for any extra resistance/short in the wiring.

There is any way to check if the PT 100 is fried?
Do you know it will be better to order a thermocouple board with associate thermocuple?Gabi

it it is 1 ohm there is a short somewhere inside, so its fried.
-
If the resistance really is 1 ohm, it's probably a thermocouple, not a PT100.

@dc42 How can I check if is a thermocouple?

What colour are the wires coming out of it? I believe E3D uses different coloured wires for thermistor, PT100 and thermocouple cartridges.

Looks like E3D PT100 is red https://e3d-online.com/pt100-temperature-sensor
Thermocouples usually have a braided cover https://e3d-online.com/type-k-thermocouple-cartridge
Thermistors are blue https://e3d-online.com/thermistor-cartridgeSo probably still just a failed PT100.
