Overview of the 1732E ArmorBlock Thermocouple and RTD Input Modules Chapter 1
Types of Modules
The Thermocouple and RTD modules are as follows.
Hardware/Software
Compatibility
The module and the applications described in this manual are compatible with
the following firmware versions and software releases.
Thermocouple Types
The 1732E-IT4IM12R module supports the following thermocouples.
Cold Junction Compensation
When using thermocouples, cold junction compensation is required at the
termination of the thermocouple wire. The actual cold junction exists outside of
the module at the wiring block internal to the CJC module and is representative
of the ambient temperature.
Accomplish a cold junction in the following ways:
