IIOT device for Industrial Use that can replace PLC/Indutrial Computer

Pircks
Pircks over 2 years ago

Good day, does anyone know an IIOT device for Industrial use that is cheaper than PLC/Industrial computer.
Just for a small machine that needs to tracks its power on and power off time stamp.
I tried to look for boards like Arduino or Rasphberry pie but this boards are not design for industrial use. (24/7 operation with dry and dusty environment)

    those are pretty good units, i did a review on them a little while back www.youtube.com/watch Anyone who says you cant get to industrial strength with Arduino is fortunately mistaken... this is good…

    Another possibility is this Arduino PLC. The price is low. It is a plc that straddles the arduino and plc worlds. www.automationdirect.com/.../productivity_open_(arduino-compatible)

    It sounds like the Avnet SmartEdge IIOT (based on Raspberry Pi) might meet that description, but it looks like that's not being made anymore. Maybe there's a newer version?

    And I've seen the Siemens Simatic IOT2020, which is more Arduino based. I also can't find if that's still being produced.

    Also, pricing seems to be around $700, so I'm not sure if that meets your "cheaper than" requirements.
    Or, for half that price maybe a small form factor computer (like Intel NUC style) would work - I'm guessing there will be industrial versions of those available.

    Hopefully someone else will have some more up-to-date ideas that are still in production!

    The AVNET SmartEdge IIOT and Simatic IOT2020 are no longer active, indeed.
    Siemens had the bad luck that Intel withdrew their Quark processor family almost immediately after the IOT20xx release Cold sweat.
