Note
: All I/O modules are isolated on the field side. Be aware that you can
induce ground loops by tying commons from various modules together.

4.10 J and K Type Thermocouple Input Modules
The five-channel J and K Type Thermocouple Input module monitors
either J or K Type Thermocouple (T/C). J and K refer to the type of
material used to make a bimetallic junction: Type J (Iron/Constantan) and
Type K (Chromel/Alumel). These dissimilar junctions in the thermocouple
junction generate different millivolt levels as a function of the heat to
which they are exposed.
The J and K Type Thermocouple Input module measures the voltage of
the thermocouple to which it is connected. The T/C voltage is measured
and a Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) correction factor is applied to
compensate for errors due to any voltage inducted at the wiring terminals
