compensation box
Note
To compensate the analog input modules, always use compensation boxes with a reference
junction temperature of 0 °C
.
Recommended compensating box
Use a compensating box with a reference junction. You must order compensating box from
external companies. Contact your Siemens representative or Industry Online Support on the
