D.2
Connection of thermocouples to the analog inputs
Introduction
Different options are available for the analog I/O device 8 AI RTD/TC 8xM12 for
compensation of the reference junction temperature. The corresponding connection
examples are shown below. In practice, different connection variants may be possible due to
the conditions on site.
