Walpole, MA (December 4, 2007) — United Electronic Industries (UEI) is pleased to announce the release of the DNR-12-1G (a.k.a. RACKtangle) Ethernet I/O chassis.
Based upon the electronics in the company’s popular “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, all of the I/O boards available in the cube form factor are also available for the RACKtangle. With over 30 I/O modules available, there will be a configuration ideally suited 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.
The Framework provides 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). Finally, the board is fully supported by LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, DASYLab or any application supporting ActiveX, OPC or Modbus TCP control.
“The RACKtangle was developed to support a large OEM (FlightSafety International) who required the functionality of our “Cube”, but with simpler field configuration and lower Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).”, according to UEI President Shaun Miller, “The RACKtangle concept has been extremely well received not only by FlightSafety, but by a large number of other customers who are drawn to a more conventional chassis than our Cube.”
