Raspberry Pi CM4-based server provides optimised and reliable industrial solutions

Sfera Labs has announced the first shipments of its new Strato Pi Max flexible and expandable industrial controller, which is based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module (CM) 4.

The module stands out with its modular design, DIN rail mount, Wi-Fi and BLE wireless connectivity, dual Ethernet ports, dual SD, eMMC, and/or SSD storage options, and two USB ports. It is a versatile module that can support up to four embedded expansion boards, expanding its capabilities to include serial (RS485/RS232) and CAN bus interfaces, digital I/O, additional wireless connectivity, and support for a UPS.

The module retains the same watchdog, isolated RS-485 port, and USB ports with independent power control and fault detection built into existing members of the Strato Pi family and complies with all relevant industry standards for electrical safety, EMC and sustainability.

Further models of expansion boards will add new functionalities during 2024.
