USB-connected modular I/O unit

Thank you for waiting! The CPI series of HAT-sized boards for Raspberry Pi(R) (Raspi) is now compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi OS February 2023. Under the motto "Making PC convenience available for FA!", Contec is quick to adapt to the current PC platform and will continue to contribute to the use of PCs in industrial applications. Our USB I/O units, Ethernet I/O units, sub-gigahertz wireless I/O units, and remote I/O (CONPROSYS nano) are also compatible with Raspberry Pi CPU boards. The device driver API-TOOL for Linux abstracts the differences in buses, allowing programming to remain the same regardless of the connected bus. This enables free selection of devices according to applications and purposes. Supported Raspberry Pi CPU boards: - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

We exhibited at the "24th Embedded/Edge Computing Expo Spring," held from May 26 (Wednesday) to 28 (Friday), 2021, at Tokyo Big Sight, Aomi Exhibition Hall. We sincerely thank everyone who visited our booth. For those who could not attend and for those who could not see everything, please rest assured. The Contec booth is fully recreated at contec.com! Our navigator will carefully guide you through new products and solutions in industrial computers, measurement and control, and industrial IoT (YouTube video). You can also download the exact same materials (PDF version) that were distributed on the day of the event. The web allows you to take your time and thoroughly view the content of the explanation panels and posters from the exhibition booth. We encourage those who attended the event to also take advantage of this. Please click the related links below and take a virtual tour of the Contec booth online!

Contec has developed a USB-connected I/O unit that allows for flexible combinations of I/O, and has started accepting orders for the new product in the PC-HELPER series of PC measurement and control components, the "Modular USB I/O Unit CC-USB271-CPSN4." When there are different operational circuits or sensors at a single endpoint and the overall number of I/O points is low, it is possible to configure the I/O unit by combining I/O modules with the net signal input/output points, which can reduce costs compared to conventional USB I/O units. The new product is a compact modular USB I/O unit that connects to a Windows PC's USB port using an attached USB cable (USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A to Type-C). It can use up to four versatile and low-cost signal input/output I/O modules from the Ethernet-based remote I/O "CONPROSYS(R) nano series (currently available)." Additionally, it can be powered via USB cable from a Windows PC. It features a safety design that alerts users with an LED flash if the power consumption exceeds the power that can be supplied by USB bus power.
