DAQ Board provides 4 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs.
Press Release Summary:
DNA-QUAD-604 4-channel quadrature encoder input board is suited for use with PowerDNA, UEILogger, and UEIPAC DAQ and control Cubes. Providing standard A, B and Z (index) inputs for each channel, it handles quadrature applications with maximum input frequency of 16.5 MHz and 32-bit counters. Digital I/O is compatible with +5 and +3.3 V logic, and digital outputs are rated to supply ±12 mA of drive current. Board also offers 350 V of isolation and 7 kV of ESD protection.
Original Press Release:
4-Channel Quadrature Encoder Input Board for UEI's DAQ Cubes
Canton, MA (May 18, 2006) - United Electronic Industries (UEI) announces the release of the DNA-QUAD-604, a four-channel quadrature encoder input board designed for use with the company's popular PowerDNA, UEILogger and UEIPAC data acquisition and control Cubes. The board provides standard A, B and Z (index) inputs for each channel and is designed to handle the most challenging quadrature applications with a maximum input frequency of 16.5 MHz, and 32-bit counters.
The Index pin may be set to perform a variety of tasks. It may be set to (1) reset/load the counter immediately, (2) reset/load the counter on the next A/B cycle (low/low, low/high, high/low or high/high), (3) generate an interrupt, or (4) generate a cube-wide trigger pulse. The counters may be read on software command or the board may be set to transfer the counter data into buffers at fixed timing intervals.
The DNA-QUAD-604 provides 4 digital inputs (in addition to the four A, B, Z channels) and 8 digital outputs. These digital I/O lines may be used as auxiliary digital inputs and outputs or configured as trigger in, trigger out, or clock out signals for each of the channels. The digital I/O is compatible with both +5 and +3.3 volt logic, and the digital outputs are rated to supply ±12 mA of drive current. The board offers 350 V of isolation and 7 kV of ESD protection.
The DNA-QUAD-604 is fully supported by UEI's wide variety of software including support for all popular operating systems, programming languages and application packages.
"The DNA-QUAD-604 is an ideal solution for providing quadrature information to any cube- based data acquisition and control system." according to Shaun Miller, UEI's President. "The new quadrature encoder input capability has been a frequently requested capability among our "Cube" customers. We are delighted to be able to fill the requirement with such a high performance product."

About the "Cube"
UEI's innovative Cube architecture may be deployed in four configurations. The PowerDNA Cube is an Ethernet-based data acquisition and control device. The UEILogger is a high performance data logger recorder. The UEIPAC is a Linux-based programmable automation controller and the UEIModbus is a Modbus data acquisition and control slave. Each "Cube" consists of a core module (that holds the processor, OS, local memory and network interface) along with three or six open I/O slots or layers. Users configure their systems by selecting appropriate I/O boards from UEI's extensive offering of analog input boards (with resolutions of 16, 18 or 24 bits, inputs to 100V or 0-20 mA), analog output (to 40V), digital input/output, counter/timer, CAN bus interface, multi-port RS-485 and RS-232, and power conversion boards. A full description of the Cubes is available at: www.ueidaq.com.
