Overview

The RPi-X PIAC is experimenter add-on board for small industrial control projects using the Raspberry Pi.

OK what does PIAC stand for?

PIAC = Pi Industrial Automotive Controller

It’s a Pi expansion shield that has 4x Change Over (CO) relays, 4x Opto Isolated Digital inputs and 4x Analogue Inputs. There’s also a RS485 interface* to communicate with industrial networks.

You can use it to learn about industrial control or perhaps even use it on your own small control projects.

Details

• 4x Relay CO, 1A, 30V AC/DC
• 4x Opto Isolated Digital inputs (30V max Input Voltage)
• 4x Analogue Inouts (0V to 10V)
• 1x RS485 Serial Comunications interface
• Easy to Connect Screw Terminals
• Raspberry Pi B 26-Pin expansion connector
• Board Dimensions: 66 x 99mm

Use Cases

• Industrial Control
• Robotics
• Mechatronics

NOTE: RPi-X PIAC is larger than the normal Pi footprint and is intended to be used with a case. Suitable cases include PiBow hackable laser cut case RS485 uses GPIO4 to control direction of serial data

RPi-X PIAC is compatible with the Raspberry Pi B.
