5B Series Modules
This chapter describes the 5B Series modules you can use with the
SC-2311.
Overview
You can use 5B Series modules with the SC-2311 to perform per-channel
analog signal conditioning with National Instruments E Series DAQ
devices. The 5B Series modules are inserted in an eight-channel backplane
within the SC-2311. The 5B Series modules provide isolation, noise
rejection, and amplification for millivolt sources, volt sources, 4–20 mA
sources, 0–20 mA sources, RTDs, thermocouples, strain gauges,
potentiometers, and frequency inputs.
Install panelettes in the front of the SC-2311 to connect to your I/O signals.
Connect the panelettes to the input terminal blocks of corresponding 5B
channels. After the signals are conditioned, they are routed through a
shielded 68-position cable to an E Series DAQ device for measurement.
The 5B Series modules include the following:
•
5B30, 5B31, 5B40, 5B41 voltage input modules
•
5B32 process current input modules
•
5B34 RTD input—isolated 2- or 3-wire RTD modules
•
5B35 RTD input—isolated 4-wire RTD modules
•
5B36 potentiometer input modules
•
5B37 thermocouple input modules with cold-junction compensation
•
5B38 strain gauge input modules
•
5B42 process current input modules with regulated 20 VDC loop
•
5B45/46 frequency input modules
•
5B47 linearized thermocouple input modules with cold-junction
compensation
