Raspberry Pi minicomputer

• The popular Raspberry Pi minicomputer can serve well as the CPU unit for your automation project.
• Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity are ideal for using the Raspberry Pi as a communication gateway or IoT node.
• With external circuitry connected to GPIO pins, you can in fact turn it into a PLC/PAC.
• SPI, I2C and UART allow for further expansion (A/D, D/A converters etc.), turning the Raspberry Pi into a superior embedded controller.
• Excellent platform for proof-of-concept prototyping and for low-cost or DIY automation projects.
• All Raspberry Pi models supported: B+/2/3/3B+/Zero W

No more hand-coding

The runtime core of the REXYGEN system turns your Raspberry Pi into a programmable device which will run your algorithms.

The REXYGEN system offers a graphical development environment for programming the algorithms. You can use standard desktop or laptop PC. You create the algorithms from the so-called function blocks (*). The library includes countless items (timers, comparators, filters, PID controllers and many more). Learn more about REXYGEN Studio.

*) The IEC 61131-3 standard defines Function Block Diagram (FBD) as one of the PLC programming techniques.

Input and output signals, external devices

• Direct inputs and outputs (via GPIO pins)
• Modbus TCP or RTU devices (input-output units, energy meters, servo drives, ...)
• Siemens PLCs (LOGO! and S7)
• SQL database import/export (via ODBC)
• Third party devices with generic TCP or UDP communication
• Third party devices with generic UART serial interface
• Third party devices with SPI or I2C bus
• 1-Wire sensors and actuators (temperature sensor DS18B20 etc.)
• Cloud services (REST API, HTTP GET/POST)

Human-machine interface (HMI) for your project? Checked!

• The built-in webserver of the REXYGEN runtime core turns the device into an all-in-one solution.
• With the official Raspberry Pi touchscreen display you have a low-cost local interface for the human operator.
• Our HMI frameworks rely on HTML5 and work in all common browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
• You can use an automatically generated HMI for your desktop, tablet or smartphone. You are also free to design your very own HMI.
