United Electronic Industries (UEI; Walpole, MA) released the Guardian Series DNx-DIO-448 high-density digital input boards: the DNA-DIO-448 ($1200) and DNR-DIO-448 ($1350) are compatible with UEI’s Cube and RACKtangle I/O chassis, respectively.

The board reads all 48 bits at sustained rates in excess of 1kSps. Input switching levels and hysteresis are software selectable from 0 – 28VDC with 25mV resolution. As part of UEI’s Guardian Series, the board uses an A/D input approach that offers input flexibility. A diagnostic input mode measures the analog voltage at each input, allowing quick and accurate detection of short and open circuits as well identifying marginal or failing drive circuitry. The analog input capability is designed as an installation, diagnostic and data acquisition tool.

Software for the DNA-DIO-448 is provided in the UEIDAQ Framework, which is a comprehensive, easy to use API that supports Windows, Vista, Linux and most real-time operating systems (QNX, RTX, RT Linux). The board is fully supported by LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, DASYLab, or any application supporting ActiveX, OPC, or Modbus TCP control.

UEI’s Cube architecture is a compact (4 x 4 x 4 in., or 4 x 4 x 5.8 in.) Ethernet based I/O platform that can be deployed in five configurations. The RACKtangle I/O chassis offers a similar capability as the Cube, but in a 3U rack form factor with easily replaced front-loading I/O boards.
