Specifications

The heart of every PowerDNA system is the Cube. The PowerDNA Cubes are 4” x 4” x 4” (3 I/O slots), or 4” x 4” x 5.8” (6 I/O slots) and are packed with power and flexibility. Each I/O Cube consists of two primary subsections: a Core Module and I/O slots or layers.

The Core Module occupies the top portion of the Cube and provides two independent Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Controllers (NICs) with separate IP addresses. These are configured as a control port and a diagnostic port. The control port is the primary interface from the host PC to the Cube. The diagnostics port allows other computers (or a different thread on the host) to interrogate the I/O and system status of the Cube.

The Core module also provides provides the 8347 series PowerPC CPU, two USB 2.0 controller ports, indicator lights, timing/trigger interface, configuration ports and internal power supply. It’s the brains of the Cube and controls the unit’s operations including the interface with the host Controller (and other Cubes) and supervising the activity of the I/O Layers.
