New UEIPAC Series of Automation Controllers

By DE Editors

United Electronic Industries (Canton, MA; ueidaq.com) recently released the UEIPAC series of programmable automation controllers (PACs). Using the UEIPAC, applications written on your PC are deployed on the cube and run independently.

The UEIPAC Cube is a self-contained controller that includes an embedded computer running the standard Linux OS, two Ethernet ports, a serial port, an SD Card interface, an inter-PAC sync interface, and either three or six slots for I/O boards. The Cubes have been tested from -40°C to +85°C, at 5g vibration, 50g shock, and up to 70,000 feet.

The UEIPAC 300 allows for the installation of up to three I/O boards. The UEIPAC 600 measures slightly larger at 4 in. 3 4.1 in. 3 5.8 in. and allows up to six I/O boards (containing up to 150 analog inputs or 288 DIO).

There are currently more than 20 different I/O boards available in the series, including analog input, analog output, digital I/O, counter/timer, quadrature Encoder, serial I/O, CAN bus, and ARINC-429 interfaces.

Price: $1,495 (UEIPAC 300); $1,795 (UEIPAC 600). For details, go to ueidaq.com/PAC.
