ā You can connect any combination of expansion boxes and
MicroAutoBoxes to the DS830.
ā You can connect several DS830 panels to one host PC. Each DS830
has to be connected to the PC via a separate link board (PC).
ā To install your dSPACE system in a vehicle, you can use the car
battery as the power supply for the DS830.
Connecting and
installing the DS830
To connect the DS830 to the host PC as well as to the dSPACE boxes,
you can use any combination of crossed-over patch cables and
fiber-optic cables. For example, you can connect the DS830 to the
host PC and an expansion box via a fiber-optic cable, and to a
MicroAutoBox via a patch cable.
The DS830 can be used in a laboratory or in vehicle. The cables
required to supply power to the DS830 via a mains socket or a car
battery are part of the DS830 hardware package. The cable for the
mains socket includes a power supply unit (15.0 V, 4.0 A).
For instructions on the installation, see How to Install DS830 on
page 64.
Limitations The following limitations currently apply to the DS830:
ā Up to 4 (DS830/4), 8 (DS830/8) or 16 (DS830/16) dSPACE boxes
can be connected to one panel.
ā The length of each connection is limited to
ā¢ 10 m (crossed-over patch cable), and
ā¢ 100 m (fiber-optic cable).
Therefore, the maximum distance between a host PC and a box is
200 m (DS830 connected to both the PC and the box via
fiber-optic cables).
ā DS830 panels cannot be cascaded, which means that you cannot
connect one DS830 to another. Each DS830 must be connected
directly to a link board (PC).
Data sheet For the specifications of the DS830, refer to DS830 Data Sheet on
page 234.
