Hey, Stu,

If you didn't find the answer, you must configure your Thermocouple Input module for the Type J thermocouple, and also to read in Degrees Celsius. You can find instructions in the RSLogix5000 Thermocouple Input Module installation manual.

Remember also that Thermocouple modules require a special terminal block, 1734-TBCJC, that has two built-in Cold Junction Compensator devices.

That is the way it works in other AB Temperature Cards. That information should be in the Card manual.
