Raspberry Pi CM4-based industrial panel PC provides 4G LTE, RS232 and RS485, M.2 NVMe SSD

EDATEC ED-HMI2120-101C is a Raspberry Pi CM4-based industrial panel PC with a ten.1-inch capacitive touchscreen show with loads of interfaces to cater to a variety of use circumstances from robotics to power administration and industrial automation.

The panel PC builds upon the ED-HMI2020-101C launched only a few months in the past, however provides a spread of options with twin Ethernet, RS485 and RS232 interfaces, and non-obligatory helps for an M.2 NVMe SSD and 4G LTE mobile connectivity. The system now helps a good wider DC enter vary from 9V to 36V and offers three 12V DC outputs to energy exterior {hardware} similar to an extra LCD.

As proven within the lengthy specs and block diagram above, the panel PC’s design is beginning to get fairly complicated with so many options, however I’d assume EDATEC should have had requests from their clients so as to add the additional options throughout the panel PC.

Similar to the earlier mannequin, the ED-HMI2120-101C industrial panel PC runs Raspberry Pi OS on the Raspberry Pi CM4 module with additional drivers for options that aren’t supported out of the field by the default OS. As famous within the earlier article, the show doesn’t have any ingress safety (IP) score so it’s not appropriate in environments the place the entrance panel could also be uncovered to liquids as with some competing RPi CM4 panel PCs such because the ComfilePi CPi-C070WR4C or WIN Enterprises PL-50300 that are rated IP67.

EDATEC sells samples of the ED-HMI2120-101C on Aliexpress for $269 plus transport though it’s unclear which actual configuration they’re promoting there…  Extra info could also be discovered on the product web page.
