Thermocouple I/O Modules
The Thermocouple Input Modules allow thermocouple temperature sensors to be directly
connected to the PLC with external signal processing (transducers, transmitters, etc.). The module
performs all analog and digital processing of the thermocouple signal. The enhanced thermocouple
input modules add isolation or high-resolution. On these modules, each channel can be configured
for a specific type of sensor wire. An autodetect external AD592 cold junction compensation
feature is also available.
