MC-MIO-16 User Manual (part number 320130-01) Customer Communication National Instruments wants to receive your comments on our products and manuals. We are interested in the applications you develop with our products, and we want to help if you have problems with them. To make it easy for you to contact us, this manual contains comment and configuration forms for you to complete.
The SC-206X Series consists of three digital signal conditioning boards (the SC-2060, SC-2061, and SC-2062) you can use with the National Instruments data acquisition boards. The SC-2060 optically isolated digital input board isolates digital signals received by data acquisition boards from the power system of the host computer.
0.4 m cable Type NB7 0.4 m cable 180924-04 Contact National Instruments if your kit is missing any of its components or if you received the wrong version. Software The SC-206X Series boards require no additional software beyond that you are using for your data acquisition board.
• Remove the board from the package and inspect the board for loose components or any other sign of damage. Notify National Instruments if the board appears damaged in any way. Do not connect a damaged board to your computer.
SC-2060 board can result in damage to any or all of the boards connected to the SC-206X Series, to the host computer, and to the SC- 2060 board. National Instruments is not liable for any damages resulting from incorrect signal connections.

A +5 VDC power supply must also connect at the screw terminals. The digital output signal must be pulled up. National Instruments recommends using a 4.7 kΩ resistor to the +5 VDC line for the SC-2061. Because the output lines are open-collector lines, you must use pullup resistors to obtain valid output from the board.
SC-2062 can result in damage to any or all of the boards connected to the SC-206X Series, to the host computer, and to the SC-2062 board. National Instruments is not liable for any damages resulting from incorrect signal connections.
Incorrect connection can result in damage to the SC-206X Series board and all components connected to the SC- 206X Series board, including the host computer. National Instruments is not liable for any damages resulting from incorrect connections.
If the device is damaged, turn the device off and do not use until service- trained personnel can check its safety. If necessary, return the device to National Instruments for service and repair to ensure that its safety is not compromised.

Chapter 5 When using the device with high common-mode voltages, you MUST insulate your signal wires for the highest input voltage. National instruments is NOT liable for any damages or injuries resulting from inadequate signal wire insulation. Use only 26-14 AWG wire with a voltage rating of 300 V and 60˚ C for controlling 250 V.
