Where to find more information
The following electronic documents provide information that is relevant to the operation of the 6K-ERB08.
MCC's Specifications: 6K-ERB08 (the PDF version of the Specifications chapter in this guide) is available
on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/6K-ERB08.pdf
MCC's Quick Start Guide is available on our web site at
This manual explains how to install and connect the 6K-ERB08 board with supported Measurement Computing
hardware. You can use the 6K-ERB08 in your control applications to switch on and off a variety of devices,
such as fans, blowers, pumps, etc.
The 6K-ERB08 has eight single-pole double-throw (SPDT) Form C electromechanical relays that are controlled
by eight digital channels connected to them. The AUXPORT digital I/O lines (DIO0 – DIO7) on your
PCI-DAS6000 Series board or PCI-DAC6700 Series board directly control the relays on your 6K-ERB08.
The PCI-DAS6000 Series board and PCI-DAC6700 Series board are referred to as the "6000 Series control
board" for the remainder of this guide.
The 6K-ERB08 has two 100-pin and two 50-pin interface connectors. Use one of these connectors to connect to
your 6000 Series control board. You can use the additional connectors to daisy chain the 6K-ERB08 to different
accessory boards.
A 10 k pull-down resistor is installed at each relay control line to pull the digital relay control line low when
disconnected from the 6000 Series control board, or when the digital lines on the 6000 Series control board are
in high impedance (or input) mode. You set the relay logic for active high or low with an on-board jumper.
The 6K-ERB08 has 24 screw terminals for connecting your field wiring to the relay contacts. Each relay
provides three connections – normally open (NO), normally closed (NC) and common (C). The board has
component locations where you can install a pull-up or pull-down resistor at the NO and NC connections.
You can power the 6K-ERB08 from your PCI-DAS6000 Series board, from your computer's power connectors,
or from the AC adapter included with your 6K-ERB08. You set the power source with an on-board jumper.

Connectors, cables – interface I/O connectors
The 6K-ERB08 board’s eight relays are controlled by your 6000 Series control board’s digital channels through
AUXPORT. Digital channels DIO<0:7> correspond to relays 1 to 8. Connect your signal cable from the
6000 Series control board’s interface connector to one of the interface connectors on the relay board.
The 6K-ERB08 has two 100-pin interface connectors labeled P21 and P20, and two 50-pin interface connectors
labeled P6 and P5. Signals pass through each connector. Only connect one of the four interface connectors to
your 6000 Series control board.

The following procedure provides the general steps to follow to connect your 6K-ERB08 to a PCI-DAS6000
Series board or to a PCI-DAC6700 Series board.
1.
Turn off your computer and open the cover.
2.
Install your PCI-DAS6000 Series or PCI-DAC6700 Series board in the computer. Refer to your board’s
hardware User Guide for installation instructions.
3.
Connect the digital signal cable from one of the interface connectors on the 6K-ERB08 to the 100-pin
interface connector on your 6000 Series control board. Your signal cable determines which interface
connector to connect to.
o
C100MMS-x cable: Connect one end of the cable to either 100-pin interface connector (P21 or P20)
on the 6K-ERB08, and connect the other end of the cable to the 100-pin interface connector on the
6000 Series control board.
o
C100HD50-x cable: Connect the 50-pin cable end stamped Pins 51 to 100 to either 50-pin connector
(
P6 or P5) on the 6K-ERB08, and connect the 100-pin cable end to the 100-pin interface connector on
the 6000 Series control board.
External power is required when using the C100HD50-x cable
The C100HD50-x cable does not provide power to the 6K-ERB08. If you use the C100HD50-x cable, power
the 6K-ERB08 with an external power source.
4.
To connect other accessory boards or devices to your 6K-ERB08, use the remaining 100-pin interface
connector and/or the two 50-pin connectors for the connection(s). The following typical configurations are
possible:
o
When using a C100MMS-x cable, you can use a second C100MMS-x cable to daisy chain to an SCB100 accessory board, OR you could use a C50FF-x cable to daisy chain to a 50-pin accessory board.
o
When using a C100HD50-x cable, you can use a C50FF-x cable to daisy chain to a 50-pin accessory
board.
Configuring your 6K-ERB08 board
Configure the power source jumper and relay logic jumper before using the 6K-ERB08. The factory-configured

Relay logic
Use jumper JP2 to select inverting or non-inverting logic to control the relays. Refer to for the
Figure 2-4
location of this jumper. The relay logic jumper is shown here configured for NON-INVERT (digital high). This
is the default position.
When set to non-invert, the relay activates when the DIO signal is high (1), and becomes inactive
(non-energized) when the DIO signal is low (0).
When set to
invert, the relay activates when the DIO signal is low (0), and becomes inactive
(non-energized) when the DIO signal is high (1).

Relay contact protection circuit for inductive loads
When you connect an inductive load to a relay, energy stored in the inductive load can induce a large voltage
surge when you switch the relay. This voltage can severely damage the relay contacts. To limit the voltage
surge across the inductive load, install a kickback diode across the DC load. Refer to the contact protection
circuit in . For AC loads, install a metal oxide varistor (MOV). Figure 3-5
