The SCALEXIO DS6001 Processor Board provides the computation power for SCALEXIO systems and is the perfect choice for real-time applications that require fast closed-loop rates or high I/O bandwidth.
What is the DS6001 Processor Board?
The DS6001 Processor Board is a highly performant and compact two-slot processing unit for SCALEXIO LabBox and SCALEXIO AutoBox. It is an excellent fit for application areas where system size matters, such as desktop-based real-time systems for function development and testing.
Application Areas
- Development and testing of control applications
- Real-time applications that require fast closed-loop rates
- Use cases with high requirements regarding computation power and data bandwidth
Key Benefits
- Four cores available for parallel computing of real-time applications
- Easily scalable by connecting additional I/O boards
- Multiprocessor setup to increase computational power and I/O bandwidth
- Onboard Ethernet I/O interface for direct real-time model access from external devices
Working with the SCALEXIO Processor Board
The DS6001 Processor Board can be installed in the SCALEXIO LabBox or the SCALEXIO AutoBox. For configuring the system, dSPACE ConfigurationDesk is needed.
Technical Details
The DS6001 is available in two Variants. The DS6001 (P02) offers higher computing power, especially for fast control tasks and computing-intensive multi-core applications.

1) SFP transceiver modules have to be ordered separately.
2) Provides PCI Express interfaces to dedicated I/O slots of the SCALEXIO LabBox and the SCALEXIO AutoBox.
3) Preliminary data. For technical specifications, please contact dSPACE.
4) The end of life of DS6001 P01 with Intel i7-6820EQ processor is planned for December 31st, 2033. As of this date, no services of any kind will be available for this product. We advise against using DS6001 P01 with Intel i7-6820EQ processor in new projects. New releases of dSPACE software are guaranteed to continue supporting DS6001 (P01) until at least December 31st, 2032. Release 2032-B will be the last dSPACE Release that supports this product. For more information please refer to the support web site.
IOCNET - Real-Time Network
IOCNET is the primary communication network for SCALEXIO systems. It is used for connecting a SCALEXIO system using the DS6001 with an additional I/O or processing hardware.
Multiprocessor Setup
The integrated multiprocessor support for SCALEXIO allows for connecting additional processing hardware via IOCNET to increase computational power and I/O bandwidth to provide a solution that can handle even the most demanding applications.
