Ethernet Distributed Data Acquisition and Control

General Description
The PowerDNA® (Distributed Networked Automation) Cube and RACKtangle I/O chassis are compact, rugged, Ethernet-based data acquisition (DAQ) interfaces, ideally suited for a wide variety of industrial, aerospace and laboratory data acquisition and control applications. Each Cube/RACKtangle chassis includes a CPU, real-time OS, Ethernet interface and slots allowing the installation of I/O boards. Cubes are available that hold 3 or 6 I/O boards while the RACKtangle allows the installation of up to 12 I/O boards. Configure your PowerDNA Cube or RACKtangle by selecting the I/O boards needed to match your application.

The I/O boards for the Cube and RACKtangle are functionally identical, though mechanically slightly different. I/O boards compatible with the Cube are designated with a DNA prefix (e.g. DNA-AI-207), while RACKtangle compatible I/O boards use a DNR prefix (e.g. DNR-AI-207) With over 25 different I/O boards available we’re sure to have just what you need. We’ll even install the boards you’ve ordered and configure your chassis before we ship your order.

The Cube is the ideal solution when the application calls for maximum ruggedness in the smallest possible package. The RACKtangle chassis is designed to allow the system to be quickly and easily reconfigured or repaired. Whether you choose the Cube or RACKtangle solutions, you'll be assured of a high performance, rugged and high density, Ethernet I/O platform.

The PowerDNA Cube and RACKtangle I/O chassis are supported by all popular Windows, Linux and Real-time operating systems. Our UEIDAQ Framework provides a simple and universal API and supports all common programming languages. The Cube is also fully supported by an extensive array of application packages including LabVIEW, MATLAB, DASYLab and more. Please refer to the Cube comparision table below to help select the Cube best suited for your application.
