Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Motherboard In DIN RAIL Enclosure With Optional CAN Bus Interface
Posted by
onThe Andino X2 by Clear Systems is a motherboard for the Raspberry Pi 3 in a DIN rail housing, equipped with a built-in 15-W power supply (85 to 230 VAC).
Alternatively, a power supply with 24 VDC is available. The X2 maintains numerous interfaces and can also extend to two expansion slots for additional interfaces such as CAN Bus.
The product has an Arduino-compatible controller for signal preprocessing, e.g., to take over the processing of the inputs.
In addition to the Raspberry's four USB ports and the 100 MBit LAN interface, the Andino X2 supports a range of additional interfaces.
