OWNER’S GUIDE D3PC8 | 475
Input specifications D3PC-8 model
Synchronization interface (UP-ORION-SYNC) Installs the SYNC hardware input/output ports and LED indicators onto the mainframe. Allows systems with the same
base ORION card to be synced. Additionally Requires DS-OPT-NET software option for synchronization under DS-7
software.
Digital Isolation (ORION-BASE-DI-ISO) Isolation for the 16 digital inputs of ORION base cards.
Input low: 0 - 2 V, Input high: 3 - 50 V bandwidth: DC up to 1MHz
Isolation voltage between channels: 150 VDC
Isolation voltage between Input and Output: 250 VDC
Connector: DSUB-37 connector (replaces standard digital I/O connector)
HDD upgrade to solid state disks HDD-UP-SSD-120 Upgrade to 120 GB flash disk (replaces standard spinning hard disk), no moving parts, max.
data throughput 90 MB/s
HDD-UP-SSD-240 Upgrade to 240 GB flash disk (replaces standard spinning hard disk), no moving parts, max.
data throughput 90 MB/s
HDD-UP-SSD-480 Upgrade to 480 GB flash disk (replaces standard spinning hard disk), no moving parts, max.
data throughput 100 MB/s
Time code interface DEWE-CLOCK (internal or external) Adds an internal IRIG or GPS time code interface (does not require a PCI slot)
Popular interface add-ons
CAN expansion (UP-ORION-CAN2) Adds 2 synchronous high speed CAN bus interfaces to the ORION card inside the system. Includes two DB9 factory
installed connectors for these counters on the side panel of the D310, and rear panel of the DEWE-3040 and DEWE-
3050. Includes DS-OPT-CAN software option supporting CAN BUS interface.
IRIG / GPS time code (DEWE-CLOCK-INT) IRIG or GPS synchronized clock source for DEWETRON systems, installed inside a new DEWETRON base unit
Input: IRIG signal code A or B, AM or DC, or GPS signal
Output: TTL clock from 10 Hz to 10 MHz, PPS and ORION-DSA-SYNC, IRIG-B DC (requires DS-PROF or higher)
Please order GPS antenna GPS-ANT-1 separately (if GPS is needed)
VIDEO-FG-4 Adds a four channel VIDEO INPUT PCI card to the system. Four BNCs for analog NTSC video input on the right side
panel, allowing four video streams to be recorded in sync with the data
ARINC-429 / 1553 interfaces Adds a multi-channel ARINC-429 or MIL-STD-1553 interface to the system. Available as a single PCI card with either
or both interfaces on it, or as separate external USB interfaces. See the INTERFACES section for a comprehensive
list.
External channel expansion
EPAD2 and CPAD2 series modules Add one or more EPAD2 series external signal conditioners to your system. Each one provides 8 thermocouple,
RTD, low voltage, or low current inputs. EPAD2 modules can be daisy-chained up to 8 modules per system. CPAD2
modules are the same except with CAN BUS interface.
