The SC-205X Series adapters link the National Instruments DAQ devices
and the signal conditioning accessories. You can configure any usual
combination of signal conditioners (for example, solid-state relays, optical
isolators, electromechanical relays, or analog signal conditioning modules)
quickly and easily by connecting the SC-205X Series adapter designed for
that device.
When a DAQ device is connected to its SC-205X Series adapter, you can
connect each digital port (8 lines) or analog port (16 lines) to a signal
conditioning accessory. Changing accessories for a port only requires
changing the connector between the SC-205X Series adapter and
the accessory. In this way, you can use the same signal conditioning
accessory with any of the supported DAQ devices by connecting it with the
appropriate SC-205X Series adapter.
What You Need to Get Started
The cable you need to connect your DAQ device to an SC-205X adapter
depends upon both the DA Q device and the SC-205X adapter you are using.
Cables and adapters are available separately. See the National Instruments
catalogue or contact National Instruments for cabling details.
Chapter 1 Introduction
Certain common combinations of cable and adapter are available as kits.
The SC-2050, SC-2051, SC-2053, and SC-2055 are available in kits with a
0.5 m or 1.0 m type NB1 cable, for use with 50-pin DAQ boards (not
including DAQCards). The SC-2054 adapter is available in kits with NB5
cables. The NB5 cable is for use with PC-DIO-96/PnP boards only; it
cannot be used with other boards, such as the PCI-DIO-96 or 6508 family.
The SC-2054 with NB5 kits are available in one-adapter, 48-channel and
two-adapter, 96-channel versions.
To set up and use your SC-205X Series adapters, you will need the
following:
❑ An SC-205X adapter
❑ SC-205X Series User Manual
❑ The appropriate cable to connect your SC-205X board to your DAQ
