Pinout for the 68M-50F 184670-01

[shaun315]

Is there any documentation that has the actual pinout for the device(for either this or the 184670-02 extended version)?  Assuming my SHC68-68-EP is 1:1, I would still like to know what the 50 pins at the end of the adapter are and make sure they match my application...  The only resources for these parts show applications but not an actual description or pinout for the device.

The closest thing I was able to find was the R6850 (776842-01) which actually has a documented pinout, can someone verify these are the same for all 68-50 pin accessory adapters?

Thanks,
Shaun

Hello Shaun,

Welcome to the forums. You are correct, that is the same pinout. I found the attached image that confirms that.
Best regards,

Hi Yardov,

Thanks for the reply, can you try to repost the .gif file?  All I can download is the icon...

Hi Shaun,

I actually found the knowledgebase from the picture I attached:

Something was wrong with my linking, sorry about that.

Hi there, is there a drawing for the pin outs of the 68M-50F 184670-02 adapter...It's the adapter for the extended I/O connector.

Thanks for your help.

Hey jvmiti,

The image posted above shows the pinout for the 68M-50F 184670-02 adapter.

Hallo all,

sorry but the last answer is not clear for me. In the first question of Shaun, there was a request of the pinout of either the two adapters, that is the 184670-01 and the 184670-02.

So, my last question is: the image attached tho this post, shows the correct pinout of either the two adapters, or only one of them?

Instead, if the adapters are different, which are, without any doubt, the two correct images of the connections, starting from the 68 pin side and ending to the 50 pin side?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi stefano_m,

A good way to find a pinout for a device and adapter is to view the device pinouts in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).  I am assuming you are looking to interface with a 100 pin E-series device.  Is that so?  Do you already own the 100 pin E-series device?

If you own the device, install the device with the necessary DAQmx drivers.  Then you can right-click on the device in MAX, and select device pinouts.  Scroll to the bottom and you can see the pinouts to each 50-pin connector.  The connector you are seeking a pinouts for is the extended I/O connector, which corresponds to the 51-100 pins connector.

If you do not possess the device, you can simulate the device in MAX using DAQmx.  You will need to download DAQmx from ni.com/support and search for DAQmx 9.1 and install this driver package, it is free.  You can then open MAX, right click on Devices and Interfaces and select Create New...»DAQmx Simulated Device.  You can then select the appropriate card to simulate, and complete the above steps.

Best,

Thank you Adam for your post. I didn't know this opportunity in MAX, with regard to the pinout of the 50-pin connectors.

Actually, what I'm trying to interface is connecting a PXI-6255 board, to my custom signal conditioning, using two 68-68 cables and, if possibile, the two different 68M-50F adapters (184670-01 and 184670-02), one for connector 0 of the board and one for connector 1. What do you think about this configuration?

My real doubt is on the first of these connections, that is the compatibility of the Connector 0 pinout of the board, and the 68M-50F MIO Cable Adapter (184670-01). Particularly on pin 39, called "PFI 15" in my M-Series board and "DGND" in another E-Series board (PCI-6071E), I used in the past with this kind of Adapter.

An Italian Application Engineer helps me with the "Wire List" of the two Adapters; now I'm waiting for an answer, with another engineer, regarding the compatibility listed above. However, if you also have an opinion on what I'm trying to do, I will appreciate it.

Thank you again.

Hi Stefano,

The first reply to the application is that the connector is made for E-Series Cards, and you are using a M-series card.  However, you can try out the connector, I do not believe that it will harm anything.  What the connector is doing is combining all of the AI GND lines from the 68-pin connector together to a common line on the 50-pin, as well as with the Digital GND lines.  It is possible that the connector will work, but it is also possible that the M-series card will have a different pinout than the E-series card, and therefore a digital IO line on the M-series, could be where a DGND line was on the E-series, which would effectively ground the DIO line on the M-series card. 

Best,
