1.2 The AI-217
Interface
Board
The DNA-AI-217 and DNR-AI-217 are 16-channel simultaneously sampling A/D
boards compatible with UEI’s popular Cube and RACKtangle chassis
respectively. The DNA/DNR versions are electronically identical and feature 24-
bit resolution with 7 software selectable input ranges. The DNx-AI-217 is pin
compatible with the popular DNx-AI-207 board and offers an easy upgrade path
for those looking for more resolution, higher sample rates or simultaneously
sampling inputs.
An A/D per channel configuration allows channels to be sampled simultaneously
at rates up to 120000kS/s each for AI-217-1 or 30kS/s each for AI-217-803 (up
to 480 kS/s max aggregate rate per board). The A/D per channel configuration
virtually eliminates input cross talk and channel settling time issues even when
connected to high impedance signal sources.
The DNx-AI-217 is fully isolated from the Cube/RACKtangle and is overvoltage
protected up to ±40 V (power on or off). The inputs go into a high impedance
mode when power is removed making the AI-217 ideal for use in redundant
measurement/control applications.
Additionally, the DNx-AI-217 provides a dedicated CJC channel that can be
used for reading from the built-in CJC sensor on the DNA-STP-AI-U or AI-
207TC terminal panels.
The DNx-AI-217 is a member of UEI’s popular Guardian series, which provide
high levels of user diagnostics. The AI-217 board provides both open input
detection functionality as well as the ability to detect input overvoltage
conditions.
As with all UEI PowerDNA boards, the DNx-AI-217 can be operated in harsh
environments and has been tested at 5g vibration, 50g shock, -40 to +85°C
temperature. Each board provides 350 V
rms
isolation between the board and its
enclosure, or any other installed boards.
Software included with the DNx-AI-217 provides a comprehensive yet easy to
use API that supports all popular operating systems including Windows, Linux,
real-time operating systems such as QNX, RTX, VXworks and more. Finally, the
UEIDAQ Framework supplies complete support for those creating applications
in Windows based data acquisition software packages such as LabVIEW,
MATLAB, DASYLab or any application which supports ActiveX or OPC servers.
