DBK60

3-Slot Expansion Module with Termination PanelsFeatures• Customizable panels offer user choiceof signal connector types• Accepts up to three DBK analog expansion cards or three DBK digitalexpansion cards (not possible to mix
digital and analog cards within thesame DBK60 enclosure)• Backplane eliminates the need for acascading ribbon cable• Enables easy card installation• Rugged all metal construction for
portable applications• Attaches to the P1 analog connector
or P2 digital connector
The DBK60 expansion module allows
IOtech’s data acquisition systems to be
expanded with any combination of up
to three analog or three digital DBK signal conditioning and expansion cards.
Removable termination panels offer theuser a choice of connector types including BNC, removable screw-terminal,
thermocouple, and safety jack. Each panel
includes pre-stripped wires by which theuser can connect to any of the three DBK
cards installed in the DBK60 enclosure. A
user-customizable blank termination panel
is also available for custom applications.

The DBK60 analog or digital expansion module may be customized with the user’s choice ofsignal connectors

DBK60 Expansion Examples

Notebook or Desktop PC

The DBK60’s three-card internal backplane
eases cabling by bringing all connections
out to a single DB37, thus only a single
cable is required to attach a DBK60 toa system. Analog and digital DBK cards
cannot be mixed within one DBK60 enclosure, and thus a separate enclosure isrequired for analog or digital cards.
An unlimited number of DBK60 enclosures
can be secured to one another, and themetal enclosure features a slide-in drawer
for easy access to the DBK cards.
Termination Panels. To complement DBK
cards installed in the DBK60 enclosure, users
have a choice of seven termination panels
that provide a variety of input ­connectors.
The termination panels screw-mount to
the rear of the DBK60 chassis, and include
the appropriate-style wire to ­connect each
input to an enclosed DBK card.
