Revolution Pi
Open source, modular, cost-effective. Your tool of choice for implementing your IIoT & automation projects
Revolution Pi is an open, modular and inexpensive industrial PC based
on the well-known Raspberry Pi. Housed in a slim DIN-rail housing, the three available base modules can be seamlessly expanded by a variety of suitable I/O modules and fieldbus gateways. The 24V powered modules are connected via an overhead connector in seconds and can be easily configured via a graphical configuration tool.

No lazy compromises when it comes to industrial suitability
To achieve a real industrial suitability according to EN 61131-2 or IEC 61131-2, the rather unknown Raspberry Pi Compute Module was used as a basis. The module, which looks like a notebook RAM bar, is limited to the essentials and does not have any external interfaces. With the Raspberry Pi Compute Module the foundation has been laid for equipping the Raspberry Pi with a robust
and industry-compatible 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 is equipped with a real-time patch. The use of Raspbian ensures that most of the applications developed for the Raspberry Pi can also be used on the Revolution Pi.
Further information and all technical data on hardware and software can be found on the product pages of the individual modules.

RevPi Core
Powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, the base modules
are the core of every Revolution Pi modular system.
The RevPi Core is with 22.5mm only half as wide as the RevPi Connect, but has twice as many PiBridge connectors, namely two. This means that
the RevPi Core can be upgraded with up to 10 expansion modules.

RevPi AIO – Analog I/O Module
Besides three different digital I/O expansion modules, an analog I/O expansion module is also available. By using RevPi AIO, a Revolution Pi system is expanded by 4 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs and 2 RTD channels. Like all I/O modules RevPi AIO features a 28-pin I/O connector at the front. Inputs, Outputs and RTD channels are galvanically isolated to each other
and to the logic circuit. RevPi AIO is protected against interference according to EN 61131-2 requirements and may be operated from -30 °C to 55 °C ambient temperature. Furthermore, the analog I/O module is UL certified (UL-File-No. E494534).

Integrate your Revolution Pi system in a fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet network.
It is not easy at all to integrate a device into an industrial network. Special protocols are often used for data transmission, such as Profinet or Profibus.
Whenusing our gateways — called RevPi Gate — integrating Revolution Pi into an industrial network is however no problem.

Digital IO modules
Expand your Revolution Pi system by adding digital I/O expansion modules.
To transform Revolution Pi into an industrial control unit, various digital I/O modules can be connected to the base module RevPi Core. The I/O modules come in three versions. All have the same 28-pin I/O connector at the front (connector with two rows of 14 pins each – two suitable 14-pin socket connectors with spring clamp contacts for the connection of up to 1.5 mm² stranded hookup wires are supplied). Apart from the standard version with 14 digital inputs and 14 digital outputs, there are also two special versions that exclusively have either 16 digital inputs or 16 digital outputs.
