WARNING
Ensure that hard-wire emergency over-ride circuitry exists for all applications thatmake use of dangerous switch-loads. Do not operate such switch-loads unlessemergency over-ride circuitry is present.
The DBK207 and DBK207/CJC are carrier boards for 5B-compatible analog input modules. These options
each include two P1 connectors for analog expansion, a 5 VDC power terminal, and 16 signal terminal
blocks. DBK207 and DBK207/CJC are typically installed in NEMA-type panels; however, they may beinstalled on DIN rails. Separate mounting instructions are included with Rack Mount Kit (part no.
Rack-DBK-3) and with DIN-rail Mount Kit (part no. DIN-DBK-1).
DBK207 and DBK207/CJC allow Daq-based acquisition systems to use various combinations of sixteen
5B signal-conditioning modules. 5B modules can accommodate a variety of signals, including low-level
thermocouple and strain-gage signals. Configuration options are flexible. You can select the type of signal
attached to each channel. One Daq device can support up to 16 DBK207 [or DBK207/CJC] boards,
providing a maximum of 256 isolated, analog input channels. Note that Daq devices scan the channels atthe same 10 µs/channel rate as other DBKs (256 scans in 2.56 ms in a full system).
Each user-installed 5B module offers 500 V isolation from the system and between channels. BothDBK207 and DBK207/CJC include 16 screw-terminal blocks for signal inputs. In addition, theDBK207/CJC includes cold junction compensators (CJCs) for use with thermocouple 5B modules.
Sockets are provided for user-installed AC1362 current-sense resistor modules, as discussed in5B Module Connection on page 5 of this section.

Note 1: CJC is applicable to DBK207/CJC.
CJC does not apply to DBK207.
Note 2: Current requirement is dependentupon the 5B modules used as
discussed in Power Considerations.
Note 3: JP2 provides a means of obtaining
an external earth ground. See PowerConsiderations for details.

Warnings, Cautions, and Tips
WARNING
Ensure that hard-wire emergency over-ride circuitry exists for all applications thatmake use of dangerous switch-loads. Do not operate such switch-loads unlessemergency over-ride circuitry is present.

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.
1.

Ensure that hard-wire emergency over-ride circuity exists for all applications that make use of
dangerous switch-loads. Do not operate such switch-loads unless emergency over-ride circuitry ispresent.

2.

Provide raceways (protective wiring routes) for all external I/O wiring.

3.

Keep external I/O wiring away from ribbon cables.

4.

Keep external I/O wiring away from low-voltage signal wiring.

5.

Provide appropriate strain-relief and physical restraint to ensure that the wiring is held securely in theintended position, and without strain.

6.

Ensure that all wiring with >50V potential is identified by the appropriate color codes and thatwarning labels are clearly visible.

7.

Provide physical protection for the interface board. The level of protection is dependent upon theboard’s operating environment.

PowerThe DBK207 and DBK207/CJC require +5 VDC from a regulated DC power supply. External power
attaches to the DBK207 [DBK207/CJC] via on-board screw terminal connections.

Power Requirements:
Voltage: +5 V regulated DC
Current: Dependent upon 5B Models used.
• SC-5B38 series modules each require 200 mA.
• SC-5B43 series modules require up to 200 mA.
• All other analog input 5B modules require 30 mA, unless otherwise specified.

On-Board Power Connections for +5 Volts

CAUTION
External power supplied to DBK207 or DBK207/CJC must not exceed +5 VDC.
Neither DBK207 nor DBK207/CJC regulate the external power input.

External Ground Connection
For optimum 5B module operation, the 5B must have one [and only one] earth ground. Accordingly, theDBK207 [DBK207/CJC] must be configured to provide its earth ground, if such a ground is not present onthe power supply.

JP2 Shown in OPEN Default
If the 5 VDC power supply provides output that is isolated from earth ground, then the jumper on JP2
should be placed in the CONN position. This will tie the 5V return on the power supply to the DBK207[DBK207/CJC] ground system.
If the 5 VDC power supply is already referenced to earth ground, then the JP2 jumper should be placed toOPEN. This will prevent multiple earth ground connections and the resultant ground loop. Note that theOPEN position is JP2’s default setting.

Channel Configuration
Up to 16 DBK207 [DBK207/CJC] boards can be connected to a Daq-based acquisition
system. Since this is a daisy-chain interface, each module must appear unique and use adifferent analog input channel to the Daq device. To configure the board’s channel, youmust set the JP1 jumper to your chosen channel as follows.
1.

Locate the 16×2-pin header (labeled JP1). Note the 16 jumper locations labeled
CH0 through CH15 to match the Daq device’s main channel.

2.

Place the JP1 jumper on the channel you wish to use. Only one jumper is used perboard.

5B Module Connection
DBK207 and DBK207/CJC analog input is processed through user-installed 5B signal-conditioning
modules. Different 5B modules are used with different transducer and signal sources. To install themodules:
1.

Remove all power from the DBK207 [DBK207/CJC].

2.

Match the footprint of the module with the footprint on the printed circuit board.

3.

Gently place the module into the footprint, and screw it down.

4.

Record the channel the module was placed in.

When installing current input modules (SC-5B32 series), be sure to install the currentsense resistor (SC-AC-1362 shipped with the SC-5B32) in the resistor socket near theinput screw-terminal block for the desired channel.

Terminal Block ConnectionWARNING
Shock Hazard. De-energize circuits connected to the DBK207, or DBK207/CJC beforechanging the wiring or configuration. Dangerous voltages may be present.

Input signals (and excitation leads) are wired to DBK207 [DBK207/CJC] via 16 four-contact terminal
blocks that connect to corresponding 5B modules. The following figures depict various connection
scenarios.

Connecting DBK207 or DBK207/CJC to a Daq Device
DBK207 and DBK207/CJC can be connected to the P4 connector of a DaqBook/2000 Series device or aDaqBoard/2000 Series board via a CA-195 cable or can be connected through the P1 connector of anapplicable DBK200 series adapter board via CA-37-1 accessory ribbon cables.

Software Setup
Reference Notes:oDaqView users - Refer to chapter 3, DBK Setup in DaqView.
oLogView users - Not Applicable.

DaqView software versions preceding 7.7 do not provide complete software support
for the DBK207 or the DBK207/CJC carrier boards. If your version of DaqView
precedes version 7.7, you must uninstall it, then install a more recent version ofDaqView.
