SC-206X Series User Manual
Notice that the SC-2060 board has only input capability. Therefore, you must configure and operate
the digital port used with the SC-2060 board as only an input port. Likewise, the SC-2061 and SC-
2062 boards have only output capability. You must configure the digital ports used with either the SC-
2061 board or the SC-2062 board for only digital output.
When using an SC-206X Series board with an MIO-16 and SC-205X Series board, the 8-bit digital
port connected to the signal conditioning board consists of both port A and port B (4-bit ports) from
the MIO-16.
Note:
For the MIO-16 boards, both port A and port B are used together as a single 8-bit port. Port A
bits 0 through 3 correspond to SC-206X Series channels 0 through 3 and Port B bits 0 through
3 correspond to SC-206X Series channels 4 through 7.
In this case, you must configure both 4-bit ports to match the operation of the SC-206X Series, that is,
input for the SC-2060 board or output for either the SC-2061 or SC-2062 boards.
