Device acts as Ethernet I/0 slave and more

The 'Cube' is flexible and is capable of being deployed as an Ethernet I/O slave, a standalone data logger, a standalone Linux-based PAC or a Modbus slave.

Adept Scientific has added PC/Ethernet data acquisition and control systems from United Electronic Industries' (UEI's) to its range of products.

UEI, based in Walpole, Massachusetts, USA, is a leader in the PC/Ethernet data acquisition and control, Data Logger/Recorder and Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) and Modbus TCP markets.

Their revolutionary 'Cube' form factor provides a compact, rugged platform ideal for a wide range of applications in diverse industries such as automotive, aerospace, petroleum/refining, simulation, semiconductor manufacturing, medical, HVAC and power generation.

Mike Pisapia, Adept's general manager at the Letchworth, UK site, said: "The 'Cube' is a great addition to our existing DAQ range, it compliments our current products and opens up new application areas for users who need standalone or distributed multi channel devices.

The ARINC-429 and 1553b interfaces particularly will be great for our larger number of Aerospace customers".

The 'Cube' is uniquely flexible, said Adept, and is capable of being deployed as an Ethernet I/O slave, a standalone data logger, a standalone Linux-based PAC or a Modbus slave.

The 'Cube' also offers extensive I/O flexibility, accommodating up to six I/O boards from a selection of over 25.

With one of the widest ranges of I/O signal interfaces for analogue, digital, counter/timer, ARINC-429, quadrature encoder, CAN-bus, serial and many more, the 'Cube' can be user configured for the most demanding DAQ applications.

UEI offers extensive drivers/support for all popular 'non Windows' and Real-time Operating Systems.

This includes drivers for Linux, QNX, RTX, Real-time Linux, RTAI Linux and LabVIEW RT.

Complete and seamless support of the main DAQ development applications including LabVIEW, MATLAB and DASYLab are supplied as part of the framework library.

The 'Cube's' ability to sample at up to 1Megasample/s, ease of use, flexible channel count, compact size and strong mechanical and electrical ruggedness make it a unique product for which it holds a number of patents and has won many awards including Test and Measurements World's 'Best in Test'.
