The R2U4N1D1A2T1A is a high-specification variant of the RXi2-UP platform, configured with a 7th Generation Intel quad-core processor — either Core i7 or Xeon class — for industrial computing workloads that demand maximum single-thread and multi-core performance. Like all RXi2-UP models, it uses Emerson's bCOM6L20 COM Express module on the CEC09 carrier board, with 2 PCIe expansion slots, 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and soldered ECC memory for data integrity in always-on factory deployments.

When should you choose the UP over the BP platform?

The decision between RXi2-BP (AMD Ryzen Embedded) and RXi2-UP (Intel Core/Xeon) comes down to three factors: ECC memory bandwidth, PCIe expansion requirements, and OS certification scope. The UP's dual-channel DDR4-2400 ECC and 2 PCIe slots support applications needing frame grabbers, dedicated motion control cards, or additional fieldbus interfaces that exceed the BP's single-slot capacity. For workloads where GPU-accelerated visualization matters more than raw CPU throughput — such as high-resolution HMI dashboards — the BP's AMD Vega graphics often provide a more cost-effective path.
