General Description
The UEISIM offers Simulink users a new, powerful and flexible I/O target.
Models built in Simulink are deployed directly on the UEISIM using Real-Time
Workshop. The combination creates a powerful new solution in the creation
and tuning of many real-time and non-real-time applications. These include
simulation model verification, rapid prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop
testing. The UEISIM is rugged, flexible and expandable enough that it
is not only a great solution while in your development cycle, it’s
also the ideal solution for your production hardware.
To use the UEISIM simply: a) Build your Simulink application. b) Open
MATLAB, and select Simulink/Embedded target for UEISIM. c) Convert your
model to use the UEISIM I/O blocks (if you had not used them in your
original model). d) Create an executable via RTW. e) Connect the UEISIM
in "external mode" (if you wish to remotely monitor the application
while running on the UEISIM). f) Start your simulation. Six easy steps
and your simulation is running live on real hardware.
The UEISIM 300 is 4" x 4" x 4" and offers 3 I/O slots.
The UEISIM 600 is slightly larger at 4" x 4" x 5.8" but
provides 6 I/O slots and allows up to 150 analog inputs or 288 DIO channels.
The UEISIM uses the same I/O boards as our popular PowerDNA family and
includes analog input (with up to 24 bit resolution), analog output (up
to 32 channels PER BOARD), digital I/O, Serial and CAN communications,
ARINC-429 networking, counter/timer, quadrature encoder input and more.
With over 30 different I/O boards available, there is sure to be a configuration
perfect for your application.
The heart of every UEISIM is a PowerPC processor running a standard
(2.6.x) Linux OS kernel. Flash memory contains the OS Kernel and drivers
for each of the I/O boards. The CPU/NIC also provides an SD Card slot,
Ethernet interface (including a single port switch), Intercube trigger/sync
interface, RS-232 serial port, power supply inputs and a variety of annunciator
LEDs. The file system is contained on the SD card and includes the other
components of the operating system such as libraries, utilities, init
script and daemons.
The UEISIM is rugged and robust. Tested from -40° to +85° C,
at 50 g shock, 5 g vibration and altitudes up to 70,000 feet, the UEISIM
is tough enough for the most challenging applications. All I/O is also
fully isolated from the controller so the UEISIM is immune to the glitches
and spikes so commonly seen in an industrial environment.
The UEISIM cubes offer a wide variety of mounting options. A flange
kit is available that allows the cubes to be mounted to a wall or other
flat surface. Rack kits and DIN Rail kits are available to allow mounting
in 19" racks or on DIN rails respectively. For portable applications
there is even an attaché style carrying case that will safely
hold a cube, its power supply, cables and screw terminal panels.
Whether your application requires a few I/O channels or a few thousand,
the UEISIM is an ideal solution. The Cube’s unique combination
of clean and simple Simulink/RTW target compatible Linux operating system,
I/O flexibility, compact size, mechanical and electrical ruggedness and
ease of use is unparalleled.
