Note:

DBK206 provides: P1, P2, and P3 connectors and corresponding screw-terminal blocks
for use with DaqBook/2000 Series Devices, DaqBoard/2000 Series Boards,and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series Boards.
This product is not used for LogBook applications.
Reference Notes:
In regard to calculating system power requirements refer to the DBK Basics section.
Chapter 2 includes pinouts for P1, P2, P3, and P4. Refer to pinouts applicable to yoursystem, as needed.
For a quick comparison of all DBK200 Series boards, refer to the DBK200 Series Matrix.
The matrix is located just before the DBK200 section.
Refer to the DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series User’s Manual(p/n 1033-0901) or the DaqBook/2000 Series User’s Manual (p/n 1103-0901)
for information pertaining to those products, as needed.

Overview
DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards communicate [external from the host PC]
through a 100-pin P4 connector. The DBK206 provides a P1, P2, and P3 connector and corresponding
screw-terminal blocks. P1 is used for ANALOG I/O, P2 for DIGITAL I/O, and P3 for
PULSE/FREQUENCY (Digital and Counter/Timer) I/O.

DBK206, P4-to-P1/P2/P3 Adapter with Screw-Terminals
Note: The P1, P2, and P3 connectors discussed in association with DaqBook/2000 Series devices
DaqBoard/2000 Series boards and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards are subset connectors of the
100-pin P4 connector that is located on those boards. Chapter System Connections and Pinouts,
includes pinouts for P1, P2, P3, and P4.

Connections
The DBK206 is suitable for both analog and digital expansion. Signal connection to a DaqBook/2000
Series device, DaqBoard/2000 Series board, or to a cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series board can be made asfollows:•With cables connected to P1, P2, and P3 connectors, as applicable.

•

With signal wires connected to the appropriate screw-terminal blocks (TB1 through TB12).
Note that the DBK206 board’s silkscreen clearly identifies all screw terminals.

•With a combination of the above two methods.

DBK206, pg. 1Regardless of which method is used, the DBK206 connects to the 100-pin P4 connector of aDaqBook/2000 Series device, DaqBoard/2000 Series board, or a cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series board. Theconnection is made via a CA-195 cable. Note that DBK206 contains mounting holes that allow the board
to be secured inside a user-provided enclosure (not shown).

CAUTION
Turn off power to the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to connecting
cables or signal lines to the DBK. Electric shock or damage to equipment can result
even under low-voltage conditions.
Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.)
Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Only handle
boards by their edges (or ORBs, if applicable). Ensure boards do not come into contact
with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate.
Do not confuse connectors. Ensure that you only connect P1 I/Os to P1,P2 I/Os to P2, and P3 I/Os to P3. Improper connection may result in equipment
damage.
The illustrations and actual board silkscreen are the only references you should need to make properconnections.
A list of connection tips follows:
1.

Ensure power is removed from the device(s) to be connected.

2.

Observe ESD precautions when handling the board and making connections.

3.

Do not make redundant connections. For example, for ANALOG IN you can use the P1(DB37) connector or Terminal Blocks TB9 through TB12. You would not use both sets ofANALOG IN connectors.

5.

To obtain maximum protection from static, connect the CHASSIS terminal to earth ground.

6.

For connections to DB37 connectors:• P1 connects to an analog DBK card or module’s P1 connector via a CA-37 cable.

7.

DBK Option Cards and Modules•P2 connects to a Digital DBK card or module’s P2 connector via a CA-37 cable.

•P3 connects to a Pulse/Frequency DBK card or module’s P3 connector via a CA-37
cable.

In regard to Screw-Terminal Block Connections:•When tightening terminal block screws, tighten them snug, but do not over-tighten.

•The DBK206 includes 12 terminal blocks. Each block contains 10 screw-terminalconnectors.

•The DBK206 silkscreen provides labels for each terminal block (TB1 throughTB12) and for each of the block’s associated screw-terminals.

•TB9, TB10, TB11, and TB12 are used for ANALOG IN and provide a connection
option to the P1 (DB37) connector.

•TB5, TB6, TB7, and TB8 are used for DIGITAL I/O and provide a connection
option to the P2 (DB37) connector.

•TB1, TB2, TB3, and TB4 are used for Pulse/Frequency/Digital I/O and provide aconnection to the P3 (DB37) connector.

•The following pages correlate the DBK206 terminal block connectors with theassociated pins of the P1, P2, and P3 DB37 connectors. Note that theSystem Connections and Pinouts chapter contains additional pin-outs, and includes
references to the 100-pin P4 connector.
