Connecting thermocouples and thermal resistors
Connect the thermocouples, for example, to the module inputs using supply lines for
temperature compensation with dynamic reference temperature. In this case, the
temperature is acquired at the reference junction by means of a thermal resistor (RTD). This
reference junction temperature determined in this way is transferred to the analog module
with thermocouple via data records with the WRREC instruction.
