The UEIPAC™ programmable automation controllers offer an unprecedented combination of flexibility, high performance, low cost and small size. The UEIPAC unit is an ideal solution in a wide variety of measurement and control applications including: Temperature control, Remote vehicle control (UAV and ULV), Hardware in-the-loop (HIL) and more. The UEIPAC is also an ideal solution for a host of embedded data acquisition (DAQ) applications as it allows systems to be developed without the cost, or the additional space required by an external host computer.
The UEIPAC 300 is 4” x 4” x 4” and offers 3 I/O slots. The UEIPAC 600 is slightly larger at 4” x 4” x 5.8” but provides 6 I/O slots and allows up to 150 analog inputs or 288 DIO channels. GigE versions of UEIPAC cubes are designated UEIPAC 300-1G and UEIPAC 600-1G for the 3 and 6 I/O slot versions respectively. The UEIPAC 1200R is a 12-slot, 3U 19″ rack mountable PAC while the UEIPAC 600R is a 6-slot “half-rack”.
The UEIPAC uses the same I/O boards as our popular PowerDNA family and includes analog input (with up to 24 bit resolution), analog output, digital I/O, Serial and CAN communications, ARINC-429 networking, counter/timer, quadrature encoder input and more. With over over 25 different I/O boards available, there is sure to be a configuration perfect for your application.
A key advantage of the UEIPAC is its standalone application deployment. In PowerDNA systems, the VxWorks application is written for, and runs on a host PC that is connected to one or more UEI chassis via Ethernet. In UEIPAC systems, the VxWorks application runs directly on the UEI RACK or Cube. There is no need for a separate host PC, though you can certainly connect one in a monitoring or supervisory role. The new VxWorks support allows these applications to be developed and run in VxWorks. This allows smaller, faster, more reliable and higher performances systems. It also eliminates the cost of a dedicated host PC and guarantees long term availability of the identical hardware. This is critical when certifying products through CE or FDA, etc.
