A.5.6
Connecting thermocouples to analog inputs
Introduction
The 4 AI TC High Feature analog electronic module offers various options in terms of
compensating for the reference junction temperature. The connection examples reflecting
these are shown below. Other types of connection may also be possible in practice,
depending on local conditions.
