The DNR-BRICK-4 is the latest deployment of UEI’s popular RACKtangle® architecture. The IP66/NEMA4 rating (pending) ensures it works in tough indoor or outdoor environments. The unit’s footprint is extremely small and is ideal for a huge assortment of commercial and military applications, including jet engine test stands, flight line systems, oil drilling platforms and refineries, heavy machinery, and any other areas that will be exposed to harsh elements.
The DNR-BRICK-4 offers slots for 4 I/O boards, and with over 90 unique UEI I/O boards, there is sure to be a configuration matching your application. Sealed-Sub I/O connectors ensure pinout compatibility with all of UEI’s popular DNx-series I/O boards. Ethernet connections are made through standard M12 connectors, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard cables. The DNR-BRICK-4 may be powered via standard 4 pair PoE++ (802.3bt) compatible ethernet ports. PoE supplies up to 55 W, though the DNR-BRICK-4 consumes less than 30 W. Redundant power sources may be used via the 25-pin D-Sub connector, and the primary source is programmable. For non-POE applications, the chassis requires 9-36 VDC. An optional AC/DC power supply is available (DNA-PSU-60). Built-in power supply voltage monitoring offers health and usage monitoring. All this is housed in a 9.5" (wide), 7.12" (deep), 4.3" (tall) chassis, weighing approximately 7 pounds including I/O boards, and typically consumes fewer than 25 W. Heat transfer from the internal electronics to the external chassis is designed such that no fans or rotary cooling is required. The lack of fans maximizes MTBF and mechanical reliability.
Regardless of your application, the DNR-BRICK4 is an ideal solution for any I/O system that will be subjected to the elements or otherwise be exposed to either liquid or particulate contamination.
The DNR-BRICK-4 chassis operates as a slave I/O device, running under the control of a host PC. All application code is created and run on the host. Almost unprecedented software support is offered, including:
All popular operating systems including Windows, Linux, VxWorks, QNX, RTX, and InTime
All popular programming languages including C, C#, C++, Python, JAVA, VB and VB.NET
All popular application packages including MATLAB®, Simulink, LabVIEW™, and more
Your application is important. That’s why we’ve developed the compact BRICK4 – the next step in UEI’s commitment to build some of the most rugged, reliable DAQ and control hardware on the market today. #chassis #rugged #compact #military #harsh #environment #sealed
