We have continued to support the expansion buses and operating systems that have evolved, contributing to the development of industrial use of PCs. In April 2021, we developed the “CPI series” HAT size board for signal input/output that is compatible with Raspberry Pi, the global standard for board computers, and applied the high cost performance and customizability of Raspberry Pi to the field of measurement control. We have developed peripheral devices for use. The new product is a small embedded PLC (programmable controller) that implements the world’s most used software PLC “CODESYS” on our original board computer based on Raspberry Pi’s latest embedded module Compute Module 4 (CM4). ) is. You can build a variety of control applications using the world standard PLC language that complies with IEC 61131-3 by utilizing the vast amount of peripheral equipment assets for Raspberry Pi, including our “CPI series.” The main features are: The fusion of Raspberry Pi and CODESYS’ global standard technologies through new products will bring immeasurable benefits to our customers. Highly compatible with Raspberry Pi 4
