Raspberry Pi CM0-powered low-cost industrial box PCs offer RS-485, 4G LTE, and wide DC input options

EDATEC ED IPC1100 and ED IPC1000 low cost industrial box PCs

EDATEC has recently released the ED-IPC1000 and ED-IPC1100 Raspberry Pi CM0-based industrial box PCs with DIN-rail mounting options. The ED-IPC1000 is the low-cost version, featuring standard connectivity options such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. In contrast, the ED-IPC1100 offers RS-485 and 4G CAT-1 connectivity, along with a wider power input, making it suitable for more advanced industrial applications. As a reminder, the Raspberry Pi CM0 is a solder-on module based on a Broadcom BCM2710A1 quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU with 512 MB RAM, optional 8 GB/16 GB eMMC flash, and optional 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. It’s only available to manufacturers in China; expect finished products like the ED-IPC1000/IPC1100 box PCs can be sold worldwide. Other features of the computers include 1080p30 HDMI output, dual USB 2.0, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, an integrated RTC with CR2032 backup, a watchdog timer, 5V USB-C power input, passive cooling, and DIN-rail mounting.

Raspberry Pi CM4-powered CODESYS industrial controller supports EtherCAT, Modbus, up to 32 I/O modules

EDATEC ED-PLC2010 is an industrial controller powered by a Raspberry Pi CM4, supporting EtherCAT and Modbus interfaces, up to 32 I/O modules, and preloaded with CODESYS runtime for real-time core and visualization capabilities. DIN Rain-mountable Raspberry Pi CM4 industrial controllers are not exactly new, with products such as Modberry 500 CM4 and Edgebox-RPI4 announced shortly after the launch of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 in 2020. More recently (2024), Seeed Studio introduced the reComputer R1113-10 IoT gateway, and Sfera Labs launched the Strato Pi Max. TECHBASE also upgraded the Modberry 500 with a more powerful CM5 module. EDATEC ED-PL2010 mostly differentiates itself by shipping with a licensed version of CODESYS runtime for industrial automation. It’s also possible with other vendors, but the license might need to be purchased separatly. EDATEC ED-PLC2010 specifications: SoM – Raspberry Pi CM4 SoC – Broadcom BCM2711 CPU – Quad-core Cortex-A72 SoC @ 1.5GHz GPU […]

Raspberry Pi CM5 review with different cooling solutions (and camera tribulations)

Raspberry Pi CM5 IO board cooling heatsink active cooler

The day of Raspberry Pi CM5 release, I published a mini review of the Raspberry Pi Development Kit for CM5 showing how to assemble the kit and boot Raspberry Pi OS, and I also ran sbc-bench benchmark to evaluate the performance. Sadly, the Broadcom BCM2712 CPU did throttle during the test meaning cooling was not optimal when the CM5 IO board was inside the IO Case and the Compute Module 5 was only cooled by the fan. So today, I’ll repeat the same test with other cooling solutions namely the official Raspberry Pi Cooler for CM5 (that’s a heatsink only), and EDATEC’s CM5 active cooler similar to the active cooler for the Raspberry Pi 5, but designed for the CPU module. But before that, I’ll do some house cleaning so to speak since last time, I booted Raspberry Pi OS from an NVMe SSD and I noticed the camera did […]
