A Robust Open Source IPC Based on Raspberry Pi
The new RevPi S and SE series are based on the brand-new Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4S. The series are an intermediate step between the RevPi Core 3+ series and the RevPi 4 series. The RevPi Core S is the updated version of the RevPi Core 3+ based on the Compute Module 3+. The Core S supports all gateways, including the I/O expansion modules as well as the gateway expansion modules.
The quad-core RevPi Core S comes equipped with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4S for the ultimate in high performance for complex tasks such as image processing. RevPi Core S comes equipped with an adapted Raspbian Jessie with an RT patch. In addition to quadrupling the number of CPUs (Broadcom BCM2711), improvements to this latest version include 1 GB of RAM and 1.5 GHz clock rate, and 8 or 32 GB of eMMC flash memory.
Consisting of open hardware and software, the RevPi Core S IPC meets the EN61131-2 standard. Its modular design allows for it to be enhanced with digital and analogue I/O modules as well as appropriate fieldbus gateways. Mounted in a DIN rail housing, the RevPi Core S has USB, ethernet and HDMI ports, and runs on the standard industrial 24-volt power supply.
Lastly, the RevPi Core S has Master and Slave capabilities for the two highly popular communication protocols Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU. Expensive external gateways are no longer required. The RevPi Core 4S is therefore an economical and logical choice for use as an industrial PC.
