United Electronic Industries (UEI) is pleased to announce the release of the DNA- and DNR-SL-504 4-Port Synchronous Serial Interface boards. The DNA/DNR-SL-504 is designed for UEI’s popular PowerDNA Cubes and PowerDNR RACKtangle™ chassis respectively. Each port can be independently configured as RS-232, RS-485, RS-422/423 for either synchronous or asynchronous communications. Each port is fully isolated from the others as well as from the chassis in which the board is installed. These boards are ideal for a wide variety of serial-based data acquisition and control scenarios as well as general purpose serial I/O.
The DNx-SL-504 supports most popular synchronous serial protocols, such as HDLC and SDLC. The RS-485/422 implementation provides transmit and receive, data and clock interfaces while the RS-232 configuration also supports standard CTS and RTS signals. The maximum transfer rate in RS-485/422 and RS-232 modes are 4 Megabaud and 256 kbaud respectively.

About the “Cube” UEI’s powerful “Cube” architecture is a compact (4 x 4 x 4″ or 4 x 4 x 5.8″) Ethernet based I/O platform. It may be deployed in four different configurations. These are: 1) Ethernet I/O systems slaved to a host PC, 2) Stand alone Data Logger/Recorder, 3) Linux-based Programmable Automation Controller (PAC), or 4) Modbus TCP based I/O slave. Each Cube consists of a core module (that holds the processor and network interface) along with three or six open I/O slots. Users select the deployment option that meets their requirements. Users then match the Cube’s I/O configuration to their application by selecting the appropriate boards. With over 25 I/O boards available, there’s sure to be a configuration to meet almost any application requirement. The six-slot Cube provides up to 150 analog inputs, 192 analog outputs, 288 digital I/O, 48 counter or quadrature channels, 72 ARINC-429 channels, 24 Serial or CAN-bus ports, or 12 1553 channels. A full description of the “Cube” is available at www.ueidaq.com.
About the (12-slot) RACKtangle™ and (6-slot) HalfRACK™ UEI’s popular rack-mounted chassis provide convenient, front-loading, easily-serviced, multi-slot, 3U enclosures for the complete range of UEI I/O modules. Both products provide two Gigabit (1000/100/10 Base-T) Ethernet ports with independent IP addresses that can be used either for communication or diagnostic purposes. Passive backplanes with no active electronic components ensure an almost unlimited MTBF for both models, and since all active components are mounted on easily replaceable I/O modules, an extremely short MTTR (mean time to recovery) can be achieved. A 12-slot RACKtangle can handle up to: 300 analog inputs, 384 analog outputs, 576 digital I/O, 96 counter or quadrature channels, 154 ARINC-429 channels, 48 serial or CAN-bus ports, or 24 MIL-STD-1553 communication bus ports. A 6-slot HalfRACK handles half as many. Visit www.ueidaq.com for a full description.
