Internal Structure

Inside the DJI dock, there is available installation space for edge devices, as indicated in the blue area inside the DJI dock in the diagram. Three DIN rails are reserved for securing the edge computing device. Two ground through-holes are reserved for connecting the edge computing device to external antennas, Ethernet cables, or fiber optics, etc. Two ventilation ducts are provided and are indicated as the red area inside the DJI dock in the diagram. The duct support plates can be removed for installing waterproof ventilation fans.

The dimensions of the installation space for devices inside the DJI dock, the length of the DIN rail, the diameter of the ground through-hole, and the screw spacing in the ventilation duct can be found as marked in the diagram.

Power Port

DJI Dock provides 220V power output and 24V UPS power port (XT30).

220V power is used for supplying power to the edge computing devices and for the regular operation of the router. It is important to consider the use of a suitable AC/DC power adapter. The 24V UPS power port is designed to ensure that the DJI dock can maintain communication and connectivity with cloud services in the event of an unexpected power outage. Therefore, it is recommended to choose an industrial-grade router that supports dual-path backup power.

Note: Due to the limited capacity of the UPS, it is recommended to use it only for powering the router. Waterproofing measures for the XT30 interface should be considered during the actual installation and deployment.

Communication Port

DJI dock supports data communication through Ethernet networks. To enable media file and video stream transmission, it is necessary to have the edge computing devices and DJI dock deployed within the same local area network (LAN) and use the LAN links for data transfer.

When conducting Edge SDK development or deploying edge computing devices, it is essential to deploy a router on the DJI dock side to ensure that DJI dock and the edge computing devices are in the same LAN. It's important to note that the WAN port's Ethernet cable should first connect to the lightning arrester in the DJI dock distribution cabinet and then connect to the WAN port of the router. The two LAN ports of the router should then connect separately to the edge computing devices and DJI dock.

Note: The connection point between the DJI dock Ethernet cable and the internal core board is non-removable and cannot be replaced.
