Introducing UEINet: For a wide variety of distributed data acquisition, control and SCADA applications
The UEINet chassis provide ultra-compact Ethernet based I/O module suitable for a wide variety of distributed data acquisition, control and SCADA applications. Based on UEI’s popular PowerDNA® Cube architecture, the new series is designed for applications requiring distributed I/O with a very small footprint.
The chassis are extremely rugged, Gigabit Ethernet-based I/O interface. The wide range allows you to configure one or more cubes to match the specific I/O requirements of your application. The PowerDNA Cube is ideally suited for a wide variety of industrial, aerospace and laboratory data acquisition and control applications.
The UEINet is supported by all the popular Windows, Linux and Real-time operating systems. UEIDAQ Framework provides a simple and universal API and supports all common Windows programming languages. The UEIDAQ Framework also supports an extensive array of application packages including LabVIEW, MATLAB, DASYLab and more.
