Announcement of the general sale of the Raspberry Pi 4-based compact all-in-one PLC for embedded use.

A compact embedded PLC implementing CODESYS based on the Raspberry Pi module CM4 board computer.

Contec has been contributing to the development of industrial use of PCs since 1982, when it launched its interface boards necessary for building PC-based measurement and control systems, with the catchphrase "Bringing the Ease of PCs to FA." The company has continued to innovate and adapt to expanding buses and operating systems. In April 2021, it developed the "CPI Series," a HAT-sized board for signal input and output compatible with the Raspberry Pi, which is the global standard for board computers. This series leverages the high cost performance and customization capabilities of the Raspberry Pi for applications in the measurement and control field. The product is a compact embedded PLC based on our original board computer using the latest embedded module CM4 from Raspberry Pi, and it implements the world's most widely used software PLC, "CODESYS." Utilizing our extensive asset of peripherals for Raspberry Pi, including the "CPI Series," users can build various control applications using the IEC 61131-3 compliant world standard PLC language.

In civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheet boards are used for temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways. Traditional steel plates are heavy, which can require large cranes or heavy machinery for installation and removal, increasing the workload depending on site conditions. Hyper CLT sheet boards are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil use. The 5×10 board weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which allows for easier installation without the need for large cranes. They also contribute to reducing the burden of transportation, installation, and removal, as well as improving maneuverability on site. Recommended as a registered technology by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," it is suitable for companies considering civil engineering, civil use, and civil CLT. This material is easy to use for creative proposals in public works, such as alternatives to steel plates, common temporary structures, temporary roads, and curing for material storage areas.

Fukuda Co., Ltd., which develops, manufactures, and sells leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing performance, provides a technical document that clearly explains the methods and theories of airtight testing, titled "Technical Manual." We are offering it as a PDF file. Please take this opportunity to download and view it!

What is an Air Leak Tester? An "Air Leak Tester" is a device that pressurizes the inside (or outside) of a sealed workpiece with air and determines the presence of leaks based on pressure changes. When a master with no leaks and a workpiece with leaks are pressurized, the pressure on the workpiece side decreases, creating a pressure difference between the two. By measuring this pressure difference, the presence of leaks can be determined. Generally, differential pressure air leak testing is widely used, but Fukuda also offers products that utilize direct pressure leak testing and flow meters according to the leak rate, in addition to differential pressure leak testers. Since the air leak tester uses air as the measurement medium, it incurs no running costs and is environmentally friendly.
