Chassis Label
The DBK70 has eight internal slots into which configuration cards can be installed. Four slots are reserved
for Network Interface cards, and four slots are for Parameter Capture cards. If only one network is to be
used (such as J1850-VPW), then only one Network Interface card is required. If multiple networks are to be
attached to one DBK70, then up to four Network Interface cards can be installed.
Each Parameter Capture card supplies 4 analog outputs, enabling the simultaneous capture of up to four
parameters, such as four different temperatures within the vehicle. To capture more than four parameters
simultaneously, additional Parameter Capture cards can be installed. Up to four cards, for a total of 16
network parameters, can be simultaneously captured by one DBK70.
Each DBK70 is configured with plug-in cards. A label located on the bottom of the DBK70 identifies the
cards installed at the factory. A colored in circle denotes the presence of the associated analog output card
or network interface card. Each analog output card (parameter capture card, DBK70-P4) has
four analog outputs. For example, if 3 cards are installed 12 parameters can be captured.
