CJChxx.Uncertain

Cold Junction Data Uncertain (5069-IY4, 5069-IY4K)

Allen-Bradley · Compact 5000 I/O Analog Modules

What does CJChxx.Uncertain mean?

This boolean tag indicates that the cold junction data for a specific channel (xx) can be inaccurate, though the exact degree of inaccuracy is not known. A value of 1 means the data is uncertain. The tag automatically resets to 0 once the underlying condition is resolved.

Common Causes

  • Cold junction data signal slightly outside the channel operating range
  • Cold junction channel (CJChxx) is slightly over temperature
  • Invalid sensor offset value configured for the cold junction channel
  • Calibration fault on the cold junction channel
  • Calibration is currently in process on the cold junction channel

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the cold junction data signal is within the specified channel operating range.

  2. 2

    Check the module's operating environment temperature and the cold junction temperature for any slight over-temperature conditions.

  3. 3

    Review the sensor offset value configured for the cold junction channel (CJChxx) in the module configuration.

  4. 4

    Check the calibration status of the cold junction channel (CJChxx) in the Logix Designer application.

  5. 5

    Wait for any ongoing calibration process on the cold junction channel (CJChxx) to complete.
