United Electronic Industries (UEI) is excited to announce the integration of the Intel x6425RE quad-core processor into its family of programmable automation controllers (UEIPAC). This upgrade delivers enhanced performance, flexibility and reliability for aerospace, defense, transportation, and automated testing applications.
The x6425RE processor brings real-time computing power with support for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise and Rocky Linux 9.2. Its 64-bit quad-core architecture runs at 1.9 GHz with a low 20 W power draw. With 8 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC storage, and an M.2 slot for 320 GB and more NVMe SSDs, it’s built for data-heavy workloads.
Adding this processor to the UEIPAC line expands customization options and boosts adaptability in demanding environments. Engineers can now run LabVIEW applications directly on the controller, eliminating external PCs and reducing latency. Real-time control and monitoring are possible within a familiar Windows embedded environment, improving mobility and efficiency.
Built for rugged conditions, the system operates from -40 to 85º C and is backed by UEI’s 10-year availability guarantee. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports support IEEE-1588 and time-sensitive networking (TSN) standards for precise timing and low-latency communication.
Security features include TPM 2.0 for hardware-based data protection. Developers benefit from broad language support — C/C++, Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, Simulink — and compatibility with over 90 I/O and avionics boards for tailored solutions.
UEI’s latest platform empowers users to deploy high-performance applications directly on the controller, ideal for avionics testing and verification, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, ground vehicles, control, testing and verification and other mission-critical systems.
“Precision timing, deterministic performance, and secure control are essential in today’s embedded systems,” said Alex Ivchenko, director of engineering. “With the Intel x6425RE processor, our customers gain a future-proof platform built for modern automation.”
