Digital communication via single USB or serial cable

BB3 breakout boxes are able to power and control up to 3 other Alicat flow and pressure instruments from a single power source and computer/PLC. Communication is via a 9-pin serial port and USB from the PC and features three 8 pin mini-DIN ports but can be also configured to have 6 pin locking industrial connectors.

The box can be mounted in any orientation thanks to 3/16” diameter mounting holes. Power can be provided by the terminal block on the front of the box or by connecting a PVPS24U to either the barrel-type power jack or at any point in the system as any connected power in the system is distributed to all devices. The PVPS24U power supply cable is not included with the BB3.
