IIoT gateways
Based on Raspberry Pi
With the RevPi-Connect, Kunbus is launching the latest member of its Revolution Pi product family onto the market. Designed as an IIoT gateway for machine and plant engineering, the device is housed in a top-hat rail housing.
It is equipped with two RJ45 Ethernet sockets, two USB ports, a 4-pin RS485 interface, a micro HDMI socket and a micro USB socket. The two Ethernet interfaces support simultaneous integration into both the automation and IT networks. This allows machine data from the store floor, for example, to be securely transmitted directly to the cloud or to a higher-level ERP system. Familiar protocols such as MQTT and OPC UA are available to the user for this purpose. Individual applications can be programmed via Node-RED, Phython or directly in C, among others. Thanks to its modular design, it is possible to equip the 45 mm wide base device with suitable expansion modules such as IOs, fieldbus gateways and wireless modules. These expansion modules can be connected to the base unit (without tools) via plug & play using a top-mounted connector and configured conveniently using the graphical user interface. A freely configurable hardware watchdog monitors the status of the IIoT gateway. A customized Raspbian with real-time patch is used as the operating system.
