United Electronic Industries Releases PowerDNA Gigabit Ethernet I/O Cube

By DE Editors

United Electronic Industries (UEI) has released the new PowerDNA PPCx-1G Gigabit Ethernet I/O Cube. Available in two basic models — a 3-I/O layer (5-slot PPC5-1G) or a 6-I/O layer (8-slot PPC8-1G) — the new GigE Cube offers higher speed and enhanced diagnostics capability relative to the standard Cubes, but remains compatible with all 30+ UEI I/O board types.

The 6-layer model (PPC8-1G Cube) can provide up to 150 analog inputs, 192 analog outputs, 288 digital I/O, 48 counter or quadrature channels, 72 ARINC-429 channels and/or 24 Serial or CAN-bus ports.

Software for the GigE Cube is provided in the UEIDAQ Framework. The framework provides an API that supports many programming and operating systems, including Windows Vista, Linux, and most real-time operating systems (e.g., QNX, RTX, RT Linux). In addition, the product is supported by LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, DASYLab, or any application that supports ActiveX,  OPC or Modbus TCP control.
