PIXTEND V1.3 ARTC Raspberry Pi Shield - PLC PiXtend V1.3 ARTC

PiXtend multiplies the connection and application possibilities of the Raspberry Pi and is the basis for demanding projects. In addition to numerous digital and analog inputs and outputs, PiXtend also features serial interfaces such as RS232, RS485 and CAN. The interfaces & I/Os are robust and comply with the standard for programmable logic controllers - PLC (IEC 61131-2). The PiXtend-µController (Atmel AVR) is freely programmable and offers countless features. Wired components make assembly, conversion or repair possible for everyone.

Possible hardware equipment

- 8x digital inputs, 3.3 / 5 / 12 / 24 V - 6x digital outputs, max. 30 V / 3 A - 2x PWM / servo outputs - 4x relay, max. 230 V / 6 A - 2x analog voltage inputs, 0..5 V / 0..10 V - 2x analog current inputs, 0..24 mA - 2x analog outputs, 0..10 V - Serial interfaces RS232, RS485 and CAN 2.0B - Real Time Clock (RTC) with battery buffering - Support of up to four temperature and humidity sensors - 433MHz Transceiver pluggable - Power supply 5 V / 2 A (supplies PiXtend and Raspberry) - up to four GPIOs - all interfaces & I/Os are short-circuit-proof - supply voltage with reverse polarity and overload protection (self-resetting fuses) - DIN rail housing (plastic) and stainless steel cover optionally available

This SPS-Shield is available in 3 different versions

Variant 1

The PiXtend raw PCB can be purchased in the simplest version. The result is a blank, two-layer printed circuit board. This is electrically tested and ready for soldering. Components are not included. The advantage of the raw board is that you can solder already at home existing components or only the components that you need for your project. All liberties are given with this variant.

Item No.: PIXTEND1.3 LP

Variant 2

Besides the raw PCB PiXtend is available as a kit. The unassembled printed circuit board and the corresponding components are delivered for self soldering.

Item No.: PIXTEND1.3 FULL (8x digital inputs, 6x digital outputs, 2x PWM / servo output, 2x analog voltage inputs, 2x analog current inputs, 2x analog voltage outputs, 4x relays, 4x PiXtend GPIOs, RS232 interface, RS485 interface, CAN bus, 4x supported sensors)

Variant 3

In a third variant PiXtend can be purchased already soldered. In comparison to the kit, all soldering work has already been completed and the components installed. Only the supplied ICs have to be placed into the corresponding sockets. The PiXtend ARTC package is fully equipped and therefore equivalent to the Full kit. The finished kit is ideal for users who want to get started right away or do not have soldering equipment.

Item No.: PIXTEND1.3 ARTC (8x digital inputs, 6x digital outputs, 2x PWM / servo output, 2x analog voltage inputs, 2x analog current inputs, 2x analog voltage outputs, 4x relays, 4x PiXtend GPIOs, RS232 interface, RS485 interface, CAN bus, 4x supported sensors)

possible applications - Control and regulation tasks - home automation - Learning and teaching platform for control technology, circuit technology and software technologies - Experimental setups in private and laboratory areas - Do-It-Yourself, hobbyist and maker projects - Amateur radio applications - Soldering exercise and training project for trainees

Frequently used peripherals such as... - 230 V devices - power relays - Temperature and humidity sensors - 433MHz Transmitter - Model building servos ...is supported by default and only needs to be connected or plugged in.

The integrated real-time clock with lithium battery buffers time & date. High-quality push-in connection strips enable safe and tool-free connection of sensors and actuators. The open source hardware and software and the native CODESYS V3 support make PiXtend the optimal learning and automation platform.

Software Quick Start with Linux Test Programs and Library

- the PiXtend test programs for Raspbian Wheezy ensure a frustration-free start. - all interfaces and I/Os can be called and queried directly from the Linux console. - The functions from the PiXtend-C library can be easily integrated into your own applications.

Programming like the pros, with CODESYS.

- The modern programming environment CODESYS V3 enables programming in all common languages for programmable logic controllers (PLC). - we provide device drivers and examples for CODESYS so that you can concentrate on your project. - Their programs can be transferred not only to PiXtend, but also directly to professional industrial controllers. - with the CODESYS Webvisu you bring your controls and displays on Smartphone, Tablet and PC. - Design your own control centre for home automation, as a weather station or many other applications. - Remote access via the Internet has never been easier.

know-how - all programs and libraries are open (GPL v3) and can be individually adapted or further developed by you. - Exchange your knowledge with like-minded people in the forum, developer blog or on Facebook.
