UEI offers over 90+ I/O boards to support all your data acquisition, test and control application needs.
Why use UEI for HIL?
Ability to simulate and read wide range of values for variables. This enables customers to find failure points with a great degree of accuracy.
Harsh condition tested - Enables boards to go wherever they are needed:
5g Vibration
100g Shock
-40 to 85º C
High level of channel isolation to ensure accuracy up to 350 VRMS.
Extremely versatile can be used with a wide range of operating systems and programming languages.
Decrease costs by not needing to use a real plant with the embedded system.
Scalable due to wide range of chassis available allowing for an increase in boards that all can work together.
Meet tight deadlines due to the ability to develop products in parallel
Ability to inject failures into the system to see how it would react

Where UEI Is Being Used - Sample HIL Applications
Automotive HIL Applications
UEI HIL solutions are ideal for the development of automotive monitoring test and control applications such as engine, braking, suspension, wheels, hydraulic simulations, and more. UEI rugged hardware enhances vehicle-in-the-loop simulators that are critical to ensuring safety, as we can help simulate a physical car in virtual obstacles and crash scenarios.
Aerospace & Avionics HIL Applications
UEI aerospace and avionics hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) solutions help to reduce system risks by creating virtual environments to test and verify integrated aerospace components and software. Our solutions can be used to ensure successful aerospace performance before actual deployment occurs. UEI HIL hardware and I/O can be used to simulate complete missions, avionic systems, fueling, orbital applications, ground control, flight-line, armament tests, and more.
Application Story: UEI & Blue Origin Blue Origin needed to consolidate custom and COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) DAQ and control hardware into one platform to accelerate development, minimize maintenance, and deliver programs on time. UEI's standardized hardware solutions helped Blue Origin save time, accelerate development, and compete in the Space Race. Read about the complete solution
UAV/UAS Data Acquisition and Control Solutions With the proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) comes new and complex data acquisition (DAQ) and control solution problems. This comprehensive overview provides information on UEI test bench, simulation of systems, and design verification/validation solutions for UAV/UAS applications. Learn more
Dealing with Obsolescence? UEI can help! VME based systems had been the standard for real-time DAQ and embedded control systems for years. However, due to the age of most VME technology, as well as the lack of vendors in the market, many VME users are now facing “end-of-life” issues. UEI has long-term solutions to replace your VME systems. Learn how to avoid obsolescence issues
UEI & Simulink Solutions
UEI offers Simulink users a powerful and flexible I/O target we call the “UEISIM”. Models built in Simulink are deployed directly on the UEISIM systems using Real-Time Workshop. The combination enables a powerful new solution in the creation and tuning of many real-time and non-real-time applications. These include simulation model verification, rapid prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
How to Build a Simulink Model for UEI I/O Hardware
Designing to Scale: Validation and Verification from Concept to Deployment - Webinar:
Depending on where you are in the verification “V model”, the tasks can be either all virtual, a mix between virtual and real, or all real. Ensuring that your system can scale up and down is critical for safety certification and time to market. We present methods of code and hardware re-use to accelerate the development and deployment of your autonomous, flight or missions controllers.

“Vetronics” (Vehicle Electronics) embodies the intricate network of advanced technologies integrated into military vehicles to enhance their capabilities and situational awareness on the battlefield. It’s essential for vetronics to conform to the Ground Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA) ecosystem that includes communication systems, sensors, control interfaces, and data analysis tools, that provide real-time data. Ensuring seamless interoperability among diverse subsystems, maintaining robust cybersecurity measures, and adapting swiftly to rapidly evolving technological landscapes pose formidable obstacles. The Army’s need for rugged, flexible, and secure TSN I/O adapters for vehicle sensor and communication distributions systems is critical to the vetronics systems.
