Reference Notes:

your system, as needed.

the front of this manual.
Overview
The DBK20 and DBK21 are general purpose digital I/O cards that can increase available digital I/O lines
by 48 per card. The DBK20 uses screw terminals; the DBK21 uses DB37 connectors. Both cards connect
to the P2 digital I/O port via the interface cable (CA-37-x).
Note: DBK20 and DBK21 require a P2 interface and therefore, can not be used with Daq PC-Cards.
Note: For DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series board applications, the P2 interface is derived via use
of an appropriate P4 adapter. P4 adapters are discussed in the DBK200 Series document modules.
Up to four DBK20s or DBK21s can be attached for a maximum of 192 lines (4×48). The local I/O lines
cannot be used while expansion cards are attached. Thus, the first expansion card increases the number of
usable digital I/O lines from 24 to 48, and subsequent cards each add 48 additional lines of programmable
digital I/O.
