Raspberry Pi Compatible
Over 23 million Raspberry Pi’s have been sold and the Raspberry Pi is likely to stay as a new standard in the industry. Official Raspbian OS is free operating system based on Linux Debian optimized for the Raspberry Pi comes with over 35,000 packages, pre-compiled software bundled in a nice format for easy installation. ModBerry devices are compatible with Raspberry Pi accessories, supported by Raspberry Pi Foundation. Now compatible with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.
The design of the ModBerry 500 allows for trouble-free operation in industrial conditions. It has a fanless case and is characterised by high resistance to external conditions and high reliability. The Raspberry Pi Linux system provides stable operation of the device.
ModBerry 500 CM4 can perform the following functions:
Data Logger
ModBerry 500 CM4 telemetry module offers you huge opportunities of registering and data access, using built-in input/output interfaces and communication channels, such as:
-
Serial ports
-
Wireless LTE/3G/GPRS/EDGE transmission
-
Ethernet
-
USB
-
ZigBee
Protocol and Interface Converter
Due to flexible configuration, the device can operate as a protocol and interface converter:
-
Modbus TCP
-
Modbus RTU
-
M-Bus
-
SNMP
-
1-Wire
In addition, due to the possibilities of the Linux operating system, each user can create their own protocols with the use of the available SDK.
Embedded Computer
The design of the ModBerry 500 CM4 allows for trouble-free operation in industrial conditions. It has a fanless case and is characterised by high resistance to external conditions and high reliability. The Linux system provides stable operation of the device.
Telemetry Module
ModBerry 500 CM4 is a multichannel telemetry module, providing constant uninterrupted access to data. It enables you to save the results of measurements and parameter values of connected devices - data can be saved to internal memory. You can also save data to internal and external databases.
ModBerry 500 CM4 can generate alarm signals and provide information on current parameter values. Built-in LTE/3G/GPRS modem enables wireless communication.
PLC
ModBerry 500 CM4 can operate as a typical PLC. The telemetry module can be programmed in ladder logic, which is easy to configure and allows for a quick start of an installation.
Due to the Linux operating system - ModBerry 500 CM4 is a stable central unit of an automation system.
Industrial modem and LTE/3G/GPRS router
With a built-in GSM modem, ModBerry 500 CM4 offers advanced functions and can be configured as an industrial modem and a router operating in GPRS, EDGE network as well as in 3G mobile network. You can easily get a backup connection mode and define routing.
You can build a VPN with ModBerry 500 CM4. You can access other devices with one telemetry module with a defined public IP. The VPN guarantees high security of data transmission.
3G technology provides higher speed and lower latency at packet data transmission.
I/O Expansion Module
Due to digital I/O and analog inputs, ModBerry 500 CM4 can successfully replace expansion modules.
The ModBerry 500 CM4 device allows:
visualisation at the monitoring point
remote control via a Web browser
transfer values via any user protocol (e.g. Modbus, SNMP).
GSM / GPRS / EDGE /3G Notify Module
With a built-in GSM modem, the ModBerry 500 CM4 industrial computer can operate as a notify module: it can send alerts when defined parameter values are exceeded (e.g. temperature, humidity).
You can easily and quickly configure the content of a message which is send instantly when the value is exceeded.
System supervisor will immediately receive SMS or e-mail notification.
GPS
GPS receiver allows to use the satellite navigation system. The system is widely used in vehicle monitoring (e.g. transport, railway industry or municipal communication). It allows to synchronize time in extensive industrial networks. It is also used to set a route for industrial machines.
Additional features
- iMod Platform Support. ModBerry 500 CM4 can be upgraded to iMod X500 version. It gives the device a functionality to work in iModCloud Ecosystem.
- iModCloud Ecosystem. A combination of a cloud service with a web user interface and special industrial devices that are fully manageable remotely.
