We have released a video demonstration of equipment failure indication detection using the industrial Raspberry Pi PL-R4 and acceleration sensor. This time, it is a wireless configuration assuming a large number of equipment or a long distance.
Raspberry Pi Connect allows secure remote access without network knowledge
The biggest advantage of Raspberry Pi Connect is that screen sharing can be done in a very simple procedure. You can access your Raspberry Pi OS desktop at home not only locally, but also via mobile communication such as a smartphone.
AI Camera and AI Accelerator Hailo trial on Industrial Raspberry Pi
We tested the official Raspberry Pi AI camera module on an industrial Raspi (with CM5) connected to the AI accelerator Hailo.
How to turn a Raspi into a Wi-Fi access point using only NetWorkManager
The current OS allows the Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi to be converted to an access point without using other applications with NetworkManage.
Image file compression with PiShrink
How to backup using RPI BOOT and dd command
For industrial raspi, the procedure is a bit more complicated, but it is convenient to backup with the dd command and compress with PiShrink to shorten the write time. For general Pi 4 and Pi 5, the dd command is used to backup the entire system as an image file, as in this case. Please refer to the following.
Mobile data communication with industrial Raspberry Pi with embedded 4G (LTE)!
IoT can be used outdoors and at sites without Wi-Fi
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…
Booting CM4 from SSD drive! For industrial applications, separate the system area from the data area.
We will show you how to mount an NVMe-connected SSD drive in the industrial Raspi “PL-R4” and treat it as a boot drive.
How Industrial Raspai Increases Robustness with External Watchdog (WD)
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.
Quick Start
Introduction to the quick start procedure for first time booting using the original factory image
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…
