Mobile data communication with industrial Raspberry Pi with embedded 4G (LTE)!
IoT can be used outdoors and at sites without Wi-Fi

PiLinkTechnical

Have you ever wished you could plug a SIM card directly into your Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi)?On commercially available Raspberry Pi, a 4G (LTE) module can be realized with an extended HAT or with a USB-connected communication modem. On the other hand, did you know that there are Raspberry Pi products specialized for industrial applications that allow SIM cards to be inserted without modification? An industrial Raspberry Pi, housed in a rugged enclosure, can adapt to harsh environments such as factories. If possible, you want to keep both the SIM card and the 4G (LTE) module in it. PiLink offers a model that supports 4G (LTE) communication, so we borrowed…

How Industrial Raspai Increases Robustness with External Watchdog (WD)

PiLinkTechnical

When a system fails and freezes (hereafter referred to as “hangs up”), it is necessary to perform a task such as rebooting the system. It may be difficult to physically reset the system at a time when people cannot operate it, at a location where the system is not easily accessible by people, or perhaps due to a shortage of personnel, it may be difficult to find people who can handle the situation. Since the system is stopped, it is also difficult to operate it remotely. This is where the watchdog (WD) mechanism comes in.

Easy to connect cameras even on an industrial Raspberry Pi.

Many people may imagine a large machine and budget when they hear of the introduction of an image-based identification device for industrial use.Aside from custom programs, if the hardware is an industrial Raspi such as PL-R4, it can be built inexpensively by utilizing a general-purpose camera and various sensors.It does not seem unreasonable for small-scale applications. The product PL-R4 ComputeModule4 (“RPI CM4”) being tested is almost identical to the hobby-use Raspberry Pi 4 (“Pi 4”). We were able to try it with the usual USB-connected webcam and a camera module that is also available from official sources. We connected a camera to see the difference, including settings unique to industrial…
