6008U 4U DC Powered Portable Enclosure

The 6008U 4U DC Powered Portable Enclosure is a DC enclosure for 4 I/O modules. As a result, it comes with 4 slots for series 6000 input and output modules. It also has a Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0) computer interface for programming, control and data output. Furthermore, users that require a larger enclosure or distributed installations can combine multiple enclosures to achieve this. Finally, the 6008U also operates via DC for mobile applications. This product is the ideal product in any test facility

All system connections occur on the front. As a result, users can locate the 6008U 4U DC Powered Portable Enclosure in the tightest of spaces. this unit also has integral fans that provide cooling air to the modules and power supply. Furthermore, power is 10 to 20 VDC with 21 to 32 VDC also available. To top things off, a power adapter is also provided for operation from 120/240 VAC.

This system also includes a sample clock bus for multi rack installations. Programming and data transfer is USB 2.0. As a result, high data transfer rates with low, predictable latency is achievable. This unit also interfaces to the USB 2.0 port provided on most PC computers, including laptops. Finally, the interface cable is 3 meters long but it extends further using ethernet with the Control & Data Processor (CDP) option.

Data Redundancy

The Data Redundancy option is also available. To accomplish this, a 2.5″ HD (Module 6095) mounts on the USB controller board in each 6008U enclosure. It then provides a redundant recording point for the DAS. As a result, in the unlikely event the Operators Workstation or DAS software fails, data continues to record in each enclosure. Thus allowing the post-test to recover data as a result.

Operators Work Station

Finally, the Operators Workstation (PCCOWU-LT) is the primary control and data recording point for the Series 6000 DAS. The PCCOWU-LT is typically a laptop that connects to the 6008U’s USB port. It then runs the PI660 Data Acquisition Software for system setup, calibration, display, recording, distribution and export.
