Description
The SCB-68 is a shielded I/O connector block manufactured by National Instruments. It comes with part numbers 776844-01 and 782914-01. This device is designed to provide low-noise and rugged signal termination, making it an ideal choice for a variety of data acquisition (DAQ) systems. The SCB-68 is compatible with 68-pin X Series, M Series, E Series, B Series, S Series, and R Series DAQ devices.
One of the key features of the SCB-68 includes an onboard cold-junction compensation sensor, general-purpose breadboard areas, screw terminals, and sockets for electrical components. These features allow for enhanced functionality such as filtering, voltage attenuation, 4 to 20 mA current input measurement, and open thermocouple detection.
The temperature sensor output accuracy of the SCB-68 is ±1.0 °C over a 0 to 110 °C range, with a sensitivity of 10 mV/°C. This precision is vital for applications requiring accurate temperature measurements. For configuring the device, it utilizes the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) software, simplifying setup and integration.
Regarding power requirements, the SCB-68 typically consumes 1 mA at +5 VDC (with no signal conditioning installed) and can draw a maximum of 800 mA from the host computer. This ensures that the device operates efficiently without imposing a significant power burden on the system.
The physical dimensions of the SCB-68 are 7.7 x 6.0 x 1.8 inches, and it weighs 13 oz. This compact size and weight make it easy to integrate into various setups without requiring excessive space. The operating temperature range of 0 to 70 °C allows the SCB-68 to function reliably in a wide range of environmental conditions.
