SCALEXIO LabBox

Modular real-time system
The SCALEXIO LabBox is a compact chassis for desktop or rack-mount use. It can integrate a SCALEXIO processor board or be connected to a SCALEXIO Processing Unit.
Its two versions offer space for up to 7 or 18 SCALEXIO I/O boards.

Application Areas
SCALEXIO LabBox is a compact real-time system for function development and testing. Its compact footprint and low noise emission makes it ideal for use in the laboratory.
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

Key Benefits
Its compact footprint and low noise emission make SCALEXIO LabBox a powerful real-time system for the desk. The mechanical concept for an easy setup and modifications allows quick adaptations of the system to changing project requirements. Due to different options for processing hardware, the computation power of LabBox-based systems can be scaled to match a wide range of applications. SCALEXIO LabBox is also available as rack-mount and covered rack-mount version.

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.

Versatile Utilization
Three chassis versions are available for each variant of SCALEXIO LabBox:

Desktop version with carrying handles and plastic feet
SCALEXIO LabBox (2x8-slot, rack-mount version) to be installed in a 19" rack system. To install the SCALEXIO LabBox 8-slot in a rack, you have combine two of them.
SCALEXIO LabBox (2x8-slot, 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.
