Introducing the 6K-ERB08

Overview: 6K-ERB08 features

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.

Software features

For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your 6K-ERB08, refer to the Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device. The Quick Start Guide is also available in PDF at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf.
Check www.mccdaq.com/download.htm for the latest software version or versions of the software supported under less commonly used operating systems.
