IoT

One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec

At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.

Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.

Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

AL Pi-Tron CM4

Compact Box-PC, Broadcom BCM2711, 4x Arm® Cortex®-A72 @1.5 GHz

Specifications

Memory: LPDDR4-RAM, Compute Modul CM4 Lite, 1x microSD Card Slot, FRAM
Communication: Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS485, CAN, DIO, WLAN/Bluetooth
Operating system: Raspbian Linux (not preinstalled)

The Pi-Tron CM4 is based on the new fourth-generation Compute Module and features the Broadcom BCM2711 4x Arm® Cortex®-A72, 64-bit SoC @1.5 GHz, a significantly faster processor than the previous generation. It has more memory with 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB LPDDR4-3200 SDRAM, depending on the variant. There are also options for an eMMC memory with 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB available. Additionally, the board offers an optional pre-certified wireless LAN/Bluetooth connection.

An M.2 B key slot with PCIe connection enables the use of standard modules with the corresponding interface. For example, individual AI solutions for machine vision and machine/deep learning can be implemented with the very powerful Hailo-8™ AI modules or the Google Coral AI Edge TPU. For the integration into IoT solutions, the Pi-Tron has been prepared to use LTE modules with SIM cards and an external antenna connection.

The range of functions of the interfaces has been significantly expanded. The Automation Line AL Pi-Tron CM4 is available in a housing, allowing for universal application and making it especially well-suited for industrial applications.
