Hi saker,

The standard way to connect your system will be: connect your PCI to your computer, use the cable to connect the PCI card with the accessory, and finally your sensor to the accessory.

If your sensor is a two wire sensor, there are two different ways to connect it to the card, RSE and Differential mode, you can find instructions and descriptions about these type of connections in page 2-5 of the manual that you can find here. In the page 2-21 of the same manual you will find instructions of how to connect both RSE and Differential mode.

Then, if you accessory is the SCB-68 box you might find the device pins mapped in the figure 2 in page 3 of the user manual. This means that the pins in your card will match the pins in your terminal block.

Hope this information helps.
