Revolution Pi Series
Revolution Pi is an industrial PC based on the Raspberry Pi extension.Edge Computing Equipment with Strong Data Acquisition CapabilitiesThe three basic modules of the series are DIN rail mounted. The series' three basic module-mounted DIN-rail installations support seamless expansion of I/O modules and field bus gateways, and can be easily configured with pre-built graphical configuration tools.
No compromise on industrial applicability
In order to achieve industrial suitability according to EN 61131-2 or IEC 61131-2, we use the little-known Raspberry Pi computing module as a base. We have equipped the Raspberry Pi computing module with external interfaces that comply with all important industrial standards.
In terms of software, the Revolution Pi features a specially modified Raspbian operating system, which is equipped with theInstant Patchand equipped with Pictory, Node-Red.Drag-and-drop function blocks can be programmed without code.It is the easiest and most direct way for users to operate the system.

Many fieldbus or industrial Ethernet protocols are supported, such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, Ethernet /IP or CANopen.
Digital IO Module
Digital IO modules are used to connect to the core module to provide digital inputs and outputs to the core module.There are three versions of the I/O modules. They all have the same 28-pin I/O connector on the front (two rows of 14 pins per connector - two suitable 14-pin socket connectors are provided with spring loaded clip contacts for connecting up to 1.5 mm² twisted connecting wires). In addition to the standard version with 14 digital inputs and 14 digital outputs, there are two special versions with 16 digital inputs or 16 digital outputs only.

Analog & Digital IO Modules
The Analog & Digital IO module can be used directly with the core module and has both digital and analog I/Os to satisfy both digital and analog requirements. The expansion module allows both analog and digital sensors and drivers to be connected to the Revolution Pi system.
Simulation IO Module
By using the RevPi AIO, it is possible to connect analog sensors, actuators, temperature sensors, etc. to the core module system.The Revpi AIO is currently only available in one version, and the system will be expanded to include 4 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 2 RTD channels. Like all I/O modules, the RevPi AIO has a 28-pin I/O connector on the front.

Communication Module
CON Module
The Con module is used to connect the Connect module in the core module to the Conenct module via the ConBridge connector, which connects a special RevPi Con expansion module to the right side of the base module. In addition to data transfer, ConBridge powers these modules, unlike conventional expansion modules connected via PiBridge. Like all of Revolution Piet's other expansion modules, the RevPi Con expansion module is housed in a 22.5 mm wide DIN rail housing. Currently, Con expansion modules for M-Bus wireless and CAN-Bus are available.

Gateway Module
The Gateway Module is used to integrate the Raspberry Pi Core Module into an industrial network. Like all Revolution Pi expansion modules, the Gateway is connected to the Core Module via the Pi Bridge connector. The core module can use up to two gateway modules. Regardless of the bus protocol and system configuration, cyclic data exchange between the gateway and the central process image of the RevPi Core 3 occurs every 5 ms. We offer gateways for all major fieldbus and industrial Ethernet protocols and all types of gateways have been tested and certified by their respective protocol organizations. The module can also be combined in pairs to form a protocol converter for use as a slave.

Industrial package with IP20 protection rating; wide temperature range from -40 to +55°C; tested to industrial standards (EN61131-2 and IEC 61000-6-2) including EMI, surge, burst, and ESD polarity protection up to 4KV/8KV. Modular, flexible and expandable, DIN-rail mounting, with a range of modules such as expansion IOs and gateways connected via simple connectors for ease of use. The Industrial Raspberry Pi is installed with a LINUX-based Rasbian system with real-time patches, it is a real-time system with some internal software integration and a separate configuration software Pictory. The Industrial Raspberry Pi uses 24V power supply commonly used in industry, which is more stable, and is equipped with load protection and so on.
The core of the Industrial Raspberry Pi and the ordinary Raspberry Pi computing module are exactly the same, both are BCM CPU, Raspberry Pi 1 generation is BCM2835 CP chip, single-core, 700Mhz, 500M RAM and 1G flash memory, and the Raspberry Pi 3 generation is BCM2837 CPU chip, 4-core, 1.2Ghz, 1G RAM and 4G ROM. The Raspberry Pi 3+ version is the BCM2837 CPU chip, with the same configuration as the 3rd generation, but with new 8, 16, 32G ROM versions to choose from.
Industrial Raspberry Pi can be used in temperatures from -40 to 55℃, compared to ordinary Raspberry Pi, it has been designed with a wider temperature range, at 65℃, Industrial Raspberry Pi can also run, but it can't run at full speed, it will be downclocked, and the frequency may be downclocked to 0.4GHz. In addition, Industrial Raspberry Pi's own casing design has taken into account the heat dissipation, with ventilation holes at the top and bottom of the plastic casing, and horizontal mounting to ensure that air can flow through RevPi modules and cool electronic devices (the chimney effect). The horizontal mounting ensures that air can flow through the RevPi module and cool the electronics (the chimney effect). Alternatively, we can install a fan in the control cabinet or water cooling, etc. For higher cooling requirements, the supplier can also provide OEM customized designs.
Industrial Raspberry Pi is widely used in various fields of industry with its open source characteristics. At present, the industrial Raspberry Pi is used in more fields such as data collection and uploading, small control, combined with software as soft PLC, gateway to industrial IoT, and can also be used for some edge computing applications, etc. The industrial Raspberry Pi has been widely used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace, industrial automobile, and automotive.
Industrial Raspberry Pi is combined with third-party software to be used as a PLC, such as Codesys, LogiCAD and other software, which is essentially a soft PLC functionality, installing third-party software runtime in the Industrial Raspberry Pi, and configuring the software to run the soft PLC capability can be used as a master station for EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, CANopen, and other protocols. EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, CANopen and other protocols.
Industrial Raspberry Pi itself can expand the IO module to directly collect some digital analog data; furthermore, Industrial Raspberry Pi itself has Modbus function, which can act as the master and slave of Modbus RTU and TCP, and can collect Modbus data; finally, Industrial Raspberry Pi can expand its series of gateway modules, which include some mainstream field bus and industrial Ethernet, such as Profibus, CANopen, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, etc., and can collect data of various control layer networks in the industrial field through the gateway. Profibus, CANopen, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT and so on, can collect data from various control layer networks in the industrial field through the gateway.
The core module of the Industrial Raspberry Pi connects to our expansion modules via PiBridge or ConBridge, which are internal communication. The modules are DIN-rail, and the PiBridge or ConBridge are plug-in connectors, making them very easy to connect.
RevPi allows users to write their own programs, which can be run on the Raspberry Pi 4B. If it is a pure software program (without calling the hardware), it can be directly ported to the software under the Linux environment. If the program uses hardware such as IO, it needs to be modified for the hardware.
High-speed computing depends on hardware and software, the highest configuration of RevPi is 1GB RAM+32GB ROM for hardware, and software depends on user's program. Regarding the sampling frequency, the RevPi DI module has a maximum sampling rate of 2kHz, which can capture the data from the encoder, and how to handle it depends on the user's program.
RevPi does not have built-in NVRAM, so after an accidental power failure or reboot, the data is stored on eMMC. In addition to saving data via USB connection, users can also burn programs or save data files via SD card.
