MU-Thermocouple1 CAN FD – User Manual
10
Tip:
We recommend adding termination at the CAN cabling, for
example with termination adapters (e.g. PCAN-Term). Thus,
CAN nodes can be flexibly connected to the bus.

Thermocouple Inputs
The connection is done with 2-pin Mini connectors for thermo-
couples according to DIN EN 50212. The color of the socket shows
the thermocouple type to be used according to the standard
IEC 60584-1. Due to the different pin sizes on a thermocouple
connector a reverse polarity protection is ensured.
