The NI TBX-68 is an unshielded I/O connector block that bridges field signals to National Instruments 68-pin data acquisition devices. It provides 68 screw terminals for direct signal wiring and a 68-pin male SCSI connector for seamless integration with NI DAQ systems. DIN-rail mountable in industrial environments, the TBX-68 operates under NI-DAQmx driver control and supports programming via LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
