Description

Want a multifunctional integrated industrial control device? Pi Terminal, a new star in the industrial world, is looking forward to serving you! The 7-inch Pi Terminal with 1024*600 resolution is a multifunctional industrial control device based on Raspberry Pi CM4. It combines powerful hardware configuration with rich software ecology and is designed to meet the needs of diverse industrial applications. It is equipped with the powerful Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 as the main control, with excellent real-time performance, and can quickly respond to and process real-time control and monitoring tasks. A highlight is the rich industrial interfaces and functional modules, including CAN bus, RS232/RS485, isolated digital IO, differential input ADC, relay control, etc., which fully meet the communication and control needs with various sensors, actuators and other devices. In addition, it also reserves speaker, headphone, microphone sockets and 4 programmable button interfaces, which makes it convenient for users to customize functions according to actual needs, increasing the interactivity and flexibility of the device.

Communication capability is another highlight of Pi Terminal. It integrates WiFi, BLE, and reserves Mini PCIE interfaces for 4G and LoRa. At the same time, it provides two GbE LAN (Gigabit Ethernet) to ensure high-speed data transmission and remote monitoring between devices.

Not only is the hardware outstanding, the software is also not inferior. Pi Terminal supports a rich software ecosystem based on Raspberry Pi and is compatible with the Node-RED programming tool, giving users the ability to easily create and manage IoT applications. Support for the OpenGL ES 3.0 graphics library makes it even more capable in graphics processing.

Pi Terminal adopts a semi-open structure with acrylic shell and excellent protection performance. The IP65 front panel effectively resists dust and water droplets, the electronic components support high-temperature operation, and the industrial-grade design can operate stably even in harsh industrial environments, easily coping with the challenges of harsh industrial environments.

CM4 Pi Terminal adopts a multi-functional integrated design, integrating HMI, PLC, gateway, tablet PC and other functions, unifying data flow to create a full-function integrated platform. Its 7-inch 1024*600 IPS screen, 5-point capacitive touch operation, and flexible and diverse external installation methods meet the usage and assembly needs of different types of occasions. This powerful device is widely used in many fields such as industrial intelligent manufacturing, construction machinery, artificial intelligence factory automation, smart cities, industrial workshops, etc. It has high adaptability and flexibility and is a true integrated industrial Internet of Things gateway device.

Self-developed by Elecrow with exclusive design. Customization can be discussed for bulk orders. (Eg: removing acrylic case, changing Raspberry Pi model, and etc.）
