SCALEXIO LabBox offers space for various I/O boards and works either as an independent real-time system or functions as I/O carrier for the SCALEXIO Processing Unit.
Compact Form
Easy use on your desktop or mounted in your 19” rack
Comprehensive Bus and I/O Support
18 slots for bus and I/O boards cover all project requirements
Easy Setup and Modification
Fast change of boards with easy to use ejector handle.
Low Noise Emission
With low noise active cooling ideal for the use in laboratory
What is the SCALEXIO LabBox?
The SCALEXIO LabBox is a compact chassis for I/O, buses and networks, and user-programmable FPGAs. You can insert a SCALEXIO Processor Board and use it as a stand-alone real-time system at your desk. Or you can use it as an I/O board carrier and connect it to a SCALEXIO Processing Unit.
Application Areas
- Function development and testing
- I/O carrier/extension for SCALEXIO Processing Units
- Vibration and noise cancelation scenarios
- High volume data acquisition in test bench scenarios
Key Benefits
- Compact 19”, 4HU enclosure for desktop use or rack-mount into a larger SCALEXIO chassis
- Highly scalable architecture
- Two version with up to 7 or 18 slots for additional I/O Boards
Working with the SCALEXIO LabBox
There are two typical use cases for the SCALEXIO LabBox:
- You can use the SCALEXIO LabBox with a SCALEXIO Processor Board as a stand-alone real-time system on your desk.
- You can use the SCALEXIO LabBox as an I/O carrier for additional SCALEXIO I/O boards and connect it to a SCALEXIO Processing Unit.
Variants & Technical Details
Variants
SCALEXIO LabBox is available in two chassis variants:
- SCALEXIO LabBox 8-slot for up to 7 SCALEXIO I/O boards
- SCALEXIO LabBox 19-slot where you can install up to 18 SCALEXIO I/O boards
Versatile Utilization
There are different versions available of the SCALEXIO LabBox:
- Desktop version with carrying handles and plastic feet
- 19-slot rack version (covered or uncovered) to be installed in a 19" rack system. The covered rack-mount version is mounted deeper inside the rack, behind an additional front cover that lets you keep the entire wiring inside a 19" rack.
- To install the SCALEXIO LabBox 8-slot in a rack, you have to combine two of them.
Options for Processing Hardware
For both chassis variants, you have two options regarding the processing hardware:
- The dual-slot DS6001 Processor Board can be installed in the SCALEXIO LabBox, which results in a very compact setup.
- Alternatively, SCALEXIO Processing Units can be connected externally using the DS6051 IOCNET Router to provide more computation performance, e.g., for complex and computationally intensive simulation models.
Coupling Options with DS6051 IOCNET Router
The DS6051 IOCNET Router is used to connect SCALEXIO LabBox with an external processing hardware, e.g., a SCALEXIO Processing Unit or existing SCALEXIO real-time systems as I/O extensions.
