Custom Cables
National Instruments currently offers a cable termination accessory, the
CB-50, for use with the PC-LPM-16/PnP. This kit includes a
terminated, 50-conductor, flat ribbon cable and a connector block.
Signal input and output wires can be attached to screw terminals on the
connector block and connected to the PC-LPM-16/PnP I/O connector.
The CB-50 is useful for the initial prototyping of an application or in
situations where PC-LPM-16/PnP interconnections are frequently
changed. Once you develop a final field wiring scheme, however, you
may want to develop your own cable. This section contains information
and guidelines for the design of custom cables.
The PC-LPM-16/PnP I/O connector is a 50-pin, male, ribbon cable
header connector. The following list gives recommended part numbers
for use with your PC-LPM-16/PnP board:
• Electronic Products Division/3M (part number 3596-5002)
• T&B/Ansley Corporation (part number 609-5007)
