BB3 / BB9 Series Multi-Drop Breakout Box

Alicat Scientific’s BB3 and BB9 series of multi-drop breakout boxes makes building your local flow control network easy.  Control up to nine (9) Alicat flow or pressure instruments from a single computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) connection.  Breakout boxes also distribute power to all connected devices from a single power source.  Each BB3 and BB9 is built into a light yet rugged composite chassis that can be mounted in any orientation via its 3/16 in diameter mounting holes.
