Print page
Export allThe U6 has 3 different I/O areas:
- Communication Edge
- Screw Terminal Edge
- DB Edge
The communication edge has a USB type B connector (with black cable connected in Figure 2-1). All power and communication is handled by the USB interface.
The screw terminal edge has convenient connections for 4 analog inputs, both analog outputs, 4 flexible digital I/O (FIO), and both current sources. The screw terminals are arranged in blocks of 4, with each block consisting of Vs, GND, and two I/O. Also on this edge are two LEDs. One simply indicates power, while the other serves as a status indicator.
The DB Edge has 2 D-sub type connectors: a DB37 and DB15. The DB37 has some digital I/O and all the analog I/O. The DB15 has 12 additional digital I/O (3 are duplicates of DB37 I/O).

Sorry, it's not easy to find a connection diagram of the U6 screw terminals

If you mean the 1200x900 blowup of fig 2.2, that's because the web designer didn't understand how to set the palette transparency, making the terminal indications invisible in some browsers and image editors.

I also changed the background to white. See if the 1200x900 png works now.

That would be Google. It is a Google Drawing and they generate the png. Try this link. I made the Google Drawing public so you can look at the original.

I would go to the section related to the terminals you are interested in. If you don't find what you need there post in that section. For example, if you are wondering about how to connect a sensor to analog inputs, go to Section 2.6.
