So something new is out utilizing Raspberry PI 3 Compute modules

https://revolution.kunbus.com/

Industrial PLC type device, UL, CE approved etc, 24V compliant etc etc

I have a set of these and am currently putting together a review (From a different distributor [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-10afea2e-ed1f-492e-b97a-94191dfea8fc/contentimage_5F00_2.png:16:16] ) but in the mean time, I thought I would show you the vendors site, these are awesome units and utilize a distributed processing architecture (Sub processors based on ST Micro microcontrollers in each expansion module) as well as Real Time patches to Raspbian to achieve its processing needs, it also utilizes many fully compliant IEC 61131-2 components

Definitely worth a look

Hi Shabaz,

Thanks for your write up on this device and summary of industrial ethernet - it's a great write up and good video too! [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-10afea2e-ed1f-492e-b97a-94191dfea8fc/6835.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

I could definitely see this being used in the factory I work in - I am tempted to buy one to try out.

It is a shame there is not a wider selection of I/O - it looks like currently, the only modules available are: RS232, RS485, Real Time Ethernet and Dig I/O unless I just have not found others!?

It is great that it utilises Node-Red. I started using it last year and was amazed how easy it makes it to connect stuff to the Cloud.

Hi Guys,

I can confirm that meanwhile netPI is out and available at Amazon.de.

Read on here for details https://www.netiot.com/industrial-raspberry-pi-3/netpi/

Seems very promising since it is working as a Docker Host where you can load any containerized software to it without compromising the Linux host. Industrial grade with max security, nice one.

IMHO this is probably the best variant than the traditional PI after the more "classic" DIMM-sized version. At a contained cost it seems a great option for industrial automation and control, especially for the incredibly large number of information and documentation we can find on the Internet for any kind of project. It will be interesting to explore the possibility to integrate this form-factor and electronic connections with some of the HATs already available on the market.

Some idea of pricing?

Another great job as usual, [mention:b0bc65b9ecdc4307bd967592f00e340a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-10afea2e-ed1f-492e-b97a-94191dfea8fc/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

I was impressed with the level of detailed attention paid to the product design and the software implementation to make it easy for developers and for deployment. I hope to see and experiment with more Hilsher technology in future, I like that they have found ways to make Real-Time Ethernet accessible for all.

That's it right there, bud.

I am impressed and i have not even see it up close and personal like you....

Thank you so much.

Nice write up Shabaz, they seem to have finished the Machine off well with good case finish and those intelligent interfaces look really clever.

Great find.

Someone has clearly seen a viable application for the technology and designed a very nice looking component to implement a network in a work environment.

Very cool.

Nice writeup and an interesting product. Real-time Ethernet sounds like a great replacement for custom parallel ports and massive wiring looms.

In related news, I saw that the CPC maker catalogue has metal cases for Pi and Arduino.

Hi Shabaz,

Thanks for the interesting insight into industrial Real Time Internet.

Looks very interesting.

We could have done with the Pi Hat some time ago when they were lookig for a SBC with dual ethernet.
