Connecting dSPACE Boxes to
the Host PC via DS830
You can connect several dSPACE boxes – expansion boxes and/or
MicroAutoBoxes – to one host PC. Each connection requires a
separate link board (PC) installed in the PC. The number of
dSPACE boxes you can connect to the PC is limited by the number of
free slots for link boards.
As an example, the following illustration shows how you can connect
four boxes to your PC. You require four link boards (PC) in the PC.
DS830 MultiLink Panel dSPACE’s DS830 MultiLink Panel allows you to connect up to
16 dSPACE boxes to one host PC. With the DS830, you need to install
only one link board (PC) in the host PC.
As an example, the following illustration shows how to connect the
DS830 to the host PC and four dSPACE boxes.
