With the introduction of the Revolution Pi RevPi Connect 5, industrial automation is on the verge of a remarkable evolution. Based on the powerful Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5), this latest member of the Revolution Pi family offers an impressive combination of flexibility, performance and scalability designed specifically for industrial applications.
Revolutionary control and communication solution
The Revolution Pi RevPi Connect 5 has been specifically designed to meet the growing challenges of industrial automation. A robust platform for control, computing and communication, it offers seamless integration into existing systems thanks to its Linux-based operating system and support for common industry standards.It combines the powerful technology of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 with the flexibility and reliability required for industrial applications.
It handles the most demanding tasks with state-of-the-art hardware:
- CPU: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor with up to 2.4 GHz
- RAM: Extremely fast data transfer with LPDDR4X-4267
- Interfaces: 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports and RS485 connect the field level with the IT systems
- CAN FD: For the first time, up to two separate CAN networks can be connected via robust 4-pin screw terminals
- Expandability: Inputs, outputs and fieldbus connections can be easily upgraded with a wide range of expansion modules.
The RevPi Connect 5 can be used for a wide range of applications. These include factory automation, production line monitoring and building automation. It can also be used to control power distribution systems. The device is also used for environmental monitoring. It is also used in intelligent transport systems. Accurate sensor data and reliable processing and communication of real-time data are essential. Thanks to CAN FD, the latest iteration is also better suited to the automotive industry than ever before.
Modular and robust for demanding applications
Thanks to its modular design, the RevPi Connect 5 offers great flexibility. This allows the user to configure and expand the system according to individual requirements. Whether through additional I/O modules, fieldbus gateways or special software adaptations – the RevPi Connect 5 adapts to the specific requirements of any industrial application.The hardware of the RevPi Connect 5 is designed for industrial use. It also impresses with its high resistance in demanding environments. This is partly due to the extended temperature range of -40 to +55 degrees Celsius. It is also easy to install on a top-hat rail. The design is also completely fanless. This makes the system ideal for continuous operation in harsh environments.
The RevPi Connect 5 complies with the industry standard EN 61131-2 and offers extensive communication options: Ethernet, USB, HDMI and optional integrated WLAN and Bluetooth provide a versatile and future-proof connection to machines, networks and peripheral devices.
Open software platform for developers
The software platform of the RevPi Connect 5 is another key factor in its performance. Users benefit from an open platform that supports a wide range of programming languages and developer tools, including CODESYS, Python, C and Node-RED. This allows developers to efficiently create complex applications and automation solutions.
A future-proof solution
The Revolution Pi RevPi Connect 5 represents a breakthrough in industrial automation. With its robust design, the high performance of the CM5 and its flexible, expandable architecture, it is the ideal solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Companies facing the challenges of modern industry will find in RevPi Connect 5 a reliable partner to increase their productivity and efficiency.
