Raspberry Pi gateway RevPi Connect series

IoTEthernetRS-485

The open source IIoT gateway RevPi Connect gives users maximum freedom when implementing IIoT projects due to its open platform concept (including full root rights). The RevPi Connect is equipped with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 or Compute Module 4S depending on the version. A specially modified Raspberry Pi OS version with a real time patch is available as an operating system. Common IIoT protocols like MQTT and OPC UA are supported to transfer machine data directly to the Cloud. Individual applications can be programmed via, amongst other things, Node-RED, Python or directly in C. The modular design of the RevPi Connect enables the 45 mm wide base device to be fitted with suitable expansion modules such as digital and analog IOs and fieldbus gateways (gateways not suitable for RevPi Connect 4 and RevPi Connect SE). The expansion modules can be joined up – plug and play – with the base device via a socket positioned at the top and can be easily configured using a graphical user interface Two Ethernet ports enable the device to be simultaneously integrated within the automation network and the IT network to transmit machinery data from, for example, the shop floor to the Cloud or a superordinate IT system. A freely configurable hardware watchdog monitors the status of the IIoT gateway, a relay output serves to ensure that connected devices or expansion modules can be monitored or reset respectively. Furthermore, the device has a 24 V input that can be used, for example, to receive a shutdown signal from a UPS.
