Abstract

The conjunction compensation (CJC) sensors are used to measure the temperature of the screw terminals, so the E3 module can accurately cancel out the cold junctions made by the Thermocouple wire and screw terminal. It may be necessary at times to observe CJC temperatures readings. The easiest way to see what that temperature sensors are reading is using a web browser on a computer connected to the E3-16ISOTC-1. Observe the temperature values in the watch window.

Use Case: Check the status of CJC temperature sensors

Open web browser and read sensors 

1. Verify the E3-16ISOTC-1 network jumper, located under the configuration door, is set to either “passthru” or “2-Nets.”

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from a computer to the Ethernet 1 port on the E3-16ISOTC-1.
3. Set the computer’s IP address to manual with a compatible IP address to E3-16ISOTC-1 (default IP address) and compatible subnet mask (default is 255.255.255.0). Use the instructions below for help in changing the computers Ethernet Port Settings.
