IC693TCM302/303 Temperature Control Modules (TCM)
The Temperature Control Modules (TCM) provides temperature control for up to eight channels.
The two TCM models are identical except for temperature range and resolution ratings (see
comparison table). They have the following features:

Connections
Field devices (thermocouples, relays), RTD and external power for output relays are connected to
the module using a pair of plug-in connectors which are supplied with the module. These
connectors have captive screw terminals for ease of connecting field wiring. The signal name for
each terminal is labeled on the module's front cover next to each connector, as shown in the
drawing above. For example, Channel 8 connections are labeled 8+ and 8- on each connector.
Input connections are on the left-hand connector and output connections are on the right-hand
connector.
