UEIPAC-BRICK4 - Compact & Rugged 4-Slot I/O Chassis

The UEIPAC BRICK4 is the latest deployment of UEI’s popular RACKtangle® architecture. The IP66/NEMA 4 rating (pending) ensures it works in tough indoor or outdoor environments. The unit’s footprint is extremely small and is ideal for a huge assortment of commercial and military applications, including:

• Jet engine test stands
• Flight line systems
• Oil drilling platforms and refineries
• Heavy machinery
• Many other areas that will be exposed to harsh elements

The UEIPAC BRICK4 offers slots for 4 I/O boards, and with over 90 unique UEI I/O boards, there is sure to be a configuration matching your application. Connections can be made using:

• Sealed dSUB I/O connectors: ensure pinout compatibility with all of UEI’s popular DNx-series I/O boards
• Standard M12 connectors for Ethernet: ensure compatibility with industry standard cables
• Standard 4 pair PoE++ (802.3bt) compatible Ethernet ports: may be used to power the UEIPAC BRICK4. PoE supplies up to 55 W, though the UEIPAC BRICK4 consumes less than 30 W
• 25-pin dSub connector: redundant power sources may be used via this connector , and the primary source is programmable. For non-POE applications, the chassis requires 9-36 VDC

An optional AC/DC power supply is available (DNA-PSU-60). Built-in power supply voltage monitoring offers health and usage monitoring. All this is housed in a 9.5″ (wide), 7.12″ (deep), 4.3″ (tall) chassis, weighing approximately 7 pounds including I/O boards, and typically consumes fewer than 25 W. Heat transfer from the internal electronics to the external chassis is designed such that no fans or rotary cooling is required. The lack of fans maximizes MTBF and mechanical reliability.
