Overview

The Honeywell BC-GATC13 FTA Compensation Terminal is a specialized Field Termination Assembly (FTA) designed for accurate thermocouple signal processing in Honeywell process automation systems. Its primary function is to provide cold junction compensation (CJC), which is essential for maintaining precise temperature measurement by compensating for reference junction temperature variations.

Widely deployed in oil & gas, chemical, refining, and power generation industries, the BC-GATC13 ensures reliable and stable temperature monitoring for both control and safety-critical applications. In addition, its industrial-grade design supports long-term operation in harsh environments, making it suitable for new installations and system modernization projects.
