DIN rail PLC RevPi Core 3+

Raspberry PiEthernetmodular

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. Like the RevPi Connect series, the RevPi Core series is also equipped with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4S or Compute Module 3+, depending on the variant. A Real Time Clock (RTC) with 24 h buffering ensures that the device always knows what time it is, even in the event of a power failure. As with all Revolution Pi base modules, a specially adapted version of Raspbian with real-time function is used as the operating system. For those who can do without features such as a second Ethernet interface or an RS-485 connection in their projects, the RevPi Core is an attractively priced alternative to the RevPi Connect without having to compromise on the expansion modules. Full power The power supply circuit is one of the most important parts of the RevPi Core. In order to get as small heat from power dissipation as possible we are using state-of- the-art high-efficiency DC-DC-converter (efficiency over all is greater than 80 %). These converters use 24 VDC input (which is the usual case in industrial applications) to produce all supply voltages needed for the Core. But our Core module does not only run on the standardized supply range of 20.4 V to 28.8 V but also runs on as little as 10.2 V input voltage*. That means you can even use car batteries or solar panels as power supply.
