Connecting Thermocouples with Compensating Box
The influence of the temperature on the reference junction (in the terminal box, for instance)
must be equalized using a compensating box. Please observe the following:
•
The compensating box must have an isolated power supply.
•
The power supply unit must have a grounded shielding winding.
Compensate as follows when all thermocouples connected to the module's inputs have the same
reference junction:
•
Provide a separate compensating box for each analog input module
•
Bring the compensating box into thermal contact with the terminals
•
Apply compensating voltage to pins 23 and 25 (KOMP+and KOMP -) on the analog input mo-
dule (Figure 10-4)
•
Set Function Select switch II on the module for operating a compensating box (see also
Table 10-2)

A resistor on the jumper,
which is balanced at 0 °C, is
temperature-dependent,
