digital io motion controller

[Bruce_Mac_Donald]

I am using the PCI-7358 motiuon controller card and have two UMI-7764 terminal blocks and cables to connect the 8 motion axes I am using.  However, I also want to use the 64 general purpose digital IO lines.  What terminal block can I use?  The pinout of the digital connector on the 7358 does not agree with the SCB68 or SCB100.

You can use the SCB-68 with the DIO lines on the 7358.  Take a look at the following link for how to do this:

Thanks, I understand that now.  I hadn't realized that each individual line on the SCB68 was broken out and thought that some of the pins that were labeled ground on the DAQ card were also connected to ground on the SCB68.  Now I know that isn't the case.

Thanks again.
