IOCNET (I/O Carrier Network)

IOCNET (I/O Carrier Network) is a network technology optimized for demanding real-time requirements in terms of latencies and bandwidth. It has been developed by dSPACE for SCALEXIO, providing high-bandwidth communication and enabling low jitter/latencies for best closed-loop performance. Communication via IOCNET lets you use decentralized I/O functions with full performance.

The network also makes it easy to scale SCALEXIO systems with regard to the I/O. The setups can include more than 100 device nodes, and the I/O and processing hardware can be located up to 100 m apart. SCALEXIO is therefore ideal for spatially distributed test systems, which can also be extended later on. 

Coupling Possibilities with IOCNET

• Multiple processing hardware components can be combined to a multiprocessor system.
• By using IOCNET, you can add several I/O subracks to your system. These decentralized I/O units do not need their own processing hardware.
• Existing dSPACE systems, such as dSPACE Simulator Full-Size and dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size can be coupled as well.
