NI does not actively maintain this document.

This content provides support for older products and technology, so you may notice outdated links or obsolete information about operating systems or other relevant products.

Overview



Use this guide to match your NI Multifunction I/O (MIO) 60xx/60xxE Models PCI, PXI, or PCMCIA DAQ device with a compatible cable and accessory to meet the needs of your application, replacing or expanding your current configuration, or verifying that existing parts can be used in a different configuration.

NI Multifunction I/O (MIO) 60xx Models (formerly referred to as NI B Series and E Series) are the legacy generation of NI MIO hardware. They allow for analog, digital and counter input and output through a variety of connectivity options.

This page is part of the NI DAQ Multifunction I/O Cable and Accessory Compatibility Guide.

How to Use this Guide

It is important to work through this guide sequentially to identify and then pair up your device with compatible cables and accessories. To do this, complete the following steps:

  1. Find your module or device in the Device List.
  2. Use the Cable and Accessory Compatibility Tables to identify your device.
  3. Check the Known Limitations and Issues List for any known limitations you may encounter.

Note: Using the page search functionality in your browser to locate your model may speed up this process, typically CTRL+F on Windows or ⌘+F on OS X.

Device List

Begin by using the following tables to locate your device or module. Once found, note your connector type, pin count, and any other notes for reference. Next, move to the Cable and Accessory Compatibility Tables.

Important Note: "Group" used in this context is solely to categorize devices together that use the same cables and accessories. It does not necessarily indicate similar functionality, specifications, or other commonalities between the devices.

Cable and Accessory Compatibility Tables

Find the compatibility table that matches the pin count and connector type of your device. If you have questions on terminology, refer to the Glossary. After you have identified the cable and accessory options for your device from this section, move to the Known Limitations and Issues List.

Note: To help keep the size down of the compatibility tables, the terms terminal block and connector block are used interchangeably.

Group 1: 68-Pin SCSI Models 60xx/60xxE Device and Module

Use this table to identify compatible SCSI cables and accessories.

 

 

Group 2: VHDCI D-Type 68-Pin Multifunction I/O 60xxE Models Device

Use this table to identify compatible VHDCI cables and accessories.

 

 

Group 3: SCSI 100-Pin Multifunction I/O 60xxE Models Device And Module

Use this table to identify compatible SCSI 0.050 D-Type cables and accessories.

 

 

Group 4: DSUB 37-Pin Multifunction I/O 60xx Device

Use this table to identify compatible 37-pin DSUB cables and accessories.

Known Limitations and Issues List

This section is important to review as not every cable and accessory combination allows access to the full functionality of your NI DAQ Multifunction 60xx/60xxE (formerly B Series and E Series) device or module. This list contains notes about known limitations when using certain combinations of DAQ cables and accessories.  If your device is not listed in this section, there are no known exceptions.

Devices:

Review this table to identify potential limitations and known issues with your device or module.
ModelNote
6025ETo enable connection on all lines of the device/module with the cable, you must connect to two 50-pin connector blocks. The CB-100 kit contains two CB-50 connector blocks and a R1005050 cable.
6031EThe SCC-68 User Guide (August 2006), P/N 374748B-01, incorrectly omits PCI/PXI-6031E support with the SCC-68.

 

 Cables:

Review this table for alternative cabling options and known limitations.
ModelNote
SHC68-68-EPMFor VHDCI connections NI recommends that you use the SHC68-68-EPM cable; however, an SH68-68-EP cable will work with NI Multifunction I/O 60xx/60xxE Models (formerly B Series and E Series). The SHC68-68-EPM cable is a newer design featuring additional shielding and specific cable pairings to improve noise performance.
SHC68-C68-EPMThe SHC68-C68-EPM can be used for any device or module for which the SHC68-68-EPM is recommended. The SHC68-C68-EPM is intended for custom breakout fixtures that use the VHDCI 0.8 mm connector. DAQ accessories only feature a SCSI 0.050 D-Type connector and will not work with this cable.
SH68-68-EPMFor SCSI 0.050 D-Type connections NI recommends that you use the SH68-68-EPM cable; however, an SH68-68-EP cable will work with NI Multifunction I/O 60xx/60xxE Models (formerly B Series and E Series). The SH68-68-EPM cable is a newer design featuring additional shielding and specific cable pairings to improve noise performance.
SH68-50Some functionality is unavailable when you use the SH68-50 cable with the NI 6013, 6014, 6023E, 6024E, 6036E device or module.

Ordering Information

Note: NI 60xx/60xxE are considered legacy DAQ Multifunction I/O devices and modules. NI recommends using PCIe/PXIe/USB-63xx models (formerly X Series) or PCI/PXI/USB-62xx (formerly M Series) models for new systems. 

When purchasing an NI DAQ Multifunction I/O 60xx/60xxE Model (formerly B Series and E Series) device or module, for ease of use, the cables and accessories are listed on the product selection page. To begin browsing NI DAQ devices and modules, visit ni.com/daq.

You may also purchase your cables and accessories separately.
