DBK207 and DBK207/CJC, pg. 2 987594 DBK Option Cards and Modules
WARNING
Ensure that hard-wire emergency over-ride circuitry exists for all applications that
make use of dangerous switch-loads. Do not operate such switch-loads unless
emergency 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 be
installed 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 at
the 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. Both
DBK207 and DBK207/CJC include 16 screw-terminal blocks for signal inputs. In addition, the
DBK207/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 in
5B 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 dependent
upon the 5B modules used as
discussed in Power Considerations.
Note 3: JP2 provides a means of obtaining
an external earth ground. See Power
Considerations for details.
