UEI Announces a Gigabit Ethernet I/O Chassis

By DE Editors

United Electronic Industries (UEI; Walpole,  MA) released the DNR-12-1G (aka RACKtangle),  a Gigabit Ethernet I/O chassis. Based on the electronics in UEI’s Cube I/O chassis, the new rectangular form factor increases the number of I/O slots from six to twelve, in a compact and rugged 3U chassis.

As the RACKtangle is electrically compatible with the Cube form factors, and all of its I/O boards are also available for the RACKtangle; with more than 30 I/O modules available, a configuration exists for almost any application requirement.

The RACKtangle’s 12 I/O slots provide up to 300 analog inputs, 384 analog outputs, 576 digital I/O, 96 counter or quadrature channels, 144 ARINC-429 channels and/or 48 Serial or CAN-bus ports.

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