Open industrial PC for DIN rail mounting

Revolution Pi is an open, modular and cost-effective industrial PC based on the well-known Raspberry Pi. Housed in a slim top-hat rail housing, the three available basic modules can be seamlessly expanded with suitable I/O modules and fieldbus gateways.

The 24 V-powered modules are connected to each other in seconds via a top-mounted plug connection and can be easily configured using a graphical configuration tool.

In order to achieve genuine industrial suitability in accordance with EN 61131-2 or IEC 61131-2, the rather unknown Raspberry Pi Compute Module was used as the basis. The module, which looks similar to a notebook RAM bar, is limited to the essentials and does not have any external interfaces. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module provides the basis for equipping the Raspberry Pi with a robust and industrial-grade periphery developed by us, which meets all important industrial standards. On the software side, the Revolution Pi has a specially adapted Raspbian operating system, which has been equipped with a real-time patch, among other things. According to Kunbus, the use of Raspbian ensures that the majority of applications developed for the Raspberry Pi can also be used on the Revolution Pi.
