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.

Bringing the ease of Raspberry Pi to FA and measurement control! A HAT expansion board that supports up to 8 connections creates new possibilities for Raspberry Pi.

【What's Different Here! Contec's Raspberry Pi Solutions】 ● Independently extended HAT specifications, enabling stack connections of up to 8 units FA control and measurement control systems require numerous signal inputs and outputs. Contec has expanded the standard HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) specification, which typically allows only one connection, to support multi-tier connections. With our unique Board ID system, we enable stack connections of up to 8 units, catering to systems that require a large number of signal inputs and outputs. ● No waste of development assets, multi-platform compatibility If you want to partially replace a PC-based system with a Raspberry Pi-based one, or scale up a Raspberry Pi-based system to a PC-based one, Contec allows for migration with minimal program changes. Our integrated driver software absorbs the differences in hardware, ensuring high compatibility at the API level. 【Product Lineup】 ● RAS function expansion ● Digital input/output / Relay output ● Analog input/output ● Counter

Introducing the production process of a model railway controller that can be remotely operated via smartphone using a Raspberry Pi and Contec I/O board!

Using a Raspberry Pi makes it easy to implement electronics projects linked to the internet. This document explains the process of creating a "Raspberry Pi Model Train Controller" that can be operated from a smartphone's web browser, divided into Part 1 through Part 3. It covers how to turn the model train on and off from the Raspberry Pi, easy programming with Node-RED, noise countermeasures using Contec's highly reliable I/O board, all explained with photos. Additionally, it includes software implementation, operation from the dashboard, usage instructions, and a summary of automatic control for model trains at the end. We encourage you to read it. 【Products Used】 Expansion board to add 8-point/8-point opto-isolated digital input/output to Raspberry Pi - CPI-DIO-0808L *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
