April 9, 2009 — United Electronic Industries released the 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 GigE Cube offers higher speed and greatly 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 a comprehensive, easy to use API that supports all popular programming and operating systems such as Windows, Vista, Linux, and most real-time operating systems (e.g., QNX, RTX, RT Linux). In addition, the product is fully supported by LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, DASYLab, or any application that supports ActiveX, OPC or Modbus TCP control.
