        Installation and Wiring

Cold Junction 
Compensation

To obtain accurate readings from each of the channels, the cold 
junction temperature (temperature at the module’s terminal junction 
between the thermocouple wire and the input channel) must be 
compensated for.  Cold junction compensating thermistors have been 
integrated in the module.

Chapter Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to install and wire your modules. See 
Chapter 3 to learn about module data, status, and channel 
configuration with DeviceNet.
