CPI Series HAT-sized board compatible with Raspberry Pi
Bringing the ease of Raspberry Pi to FA and measurement control! A HAT expansion board that supports up to 8 connections creates new possibilities for Raspberry Pi.
【What's Different Here! Contec's Raspberry Pi Solutions】 ● Independently extended HAT specifications, enabling stack connections of up to 8 units FA control and measurement control systems require numerous signal inputs and outputs. Contec has expanded the standard HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) specification, which typically allows only one connection, to support multi-tier connections. With our unique Board ID system, we enable stack connections of up to 8 units, catering to systems that require a large number of signal inputs and outputs. ● No waste of development assets, multi-platform compatibility If you want to partially replace a PC-based system with a Raspberry Pi-based one, or scale up a Raspberry Pi-based system to a PC-based one, Contec allows for migration with minimal program changes. Our integrated driver software absorbs the differences in hardware, ensuring high compatibility at the API level. 【Product Lineup】 ● RAS function expansion ● Digital input/output / Relay output ● Analog input/output ● Counter
basic information
【Main Features】 ● Easy-to-wire push-type block terminal block adopted Adopts a convenient and user-friendly block terminal that allows for push-type wiring without the need for tools or crimp terminals, and can be attached and detached while connected. ● Supports up to 8 stacked connections Expands address ID settings for HAT specifications, allowing for a maximum of 8 stacked connections. * It is possible to mix with other companies' HATs. * When stacking connections, please use our RAS function expansion board to ensure stable power supply. ● Free download of API & sample programs compatible with Python Linux driver (API-TOOL for Linux) is available for free download. Sample programs for Python and GCC are provided, allowing you to start programming immediately. ● API compatibility with expansion boards for PCs Compatible with our PCI Express / PCI / USB / Ethernet type measurement and control devices. Development assets can be reused across multiple platforms.
