Sfera Labs has introduced the Iono Pi Max, an industrial-grade server with integrated PLC functionality and advanced power management. The combination of a server and programmable controller makes the solution an all-in-one solution for industrial control.
The solution joins the company's existing range of industrial controllers and servers based on open source platforms. By using its domain expertise in this area, the company has pulled together many of the features offered separately in its existing portfolio, into a single, optimised and powerful product.
The Iono Pi Max is based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module single-board computer, with added hardware to deliver a complete solution based on open source technology. This puts the solution in a disruptive and competitive position, providing all of the features of a proprietary and more expensive industrial PLC at a much lower price point.
The solution is compliant with the FCC and IC electromagnetic emissions limits for usage in residential, industrial or commercial environments, and with the European Market electromagnetic emissions and immunity standards for residential, commercial and light-industrial environments.
"We believe that open source solutions are reshaping the IIoT marketplace," commented Ulderico Arcidiaco, co-founder and CEO, Sfera Labs. "The Iono Pi Max is unique in its offering, as no other solution combines as much functionality with as many features in a single package."
