Low installation height, simple and efficient installation, good access, the possibility of another superstructure, this and other tweaks were the goal of our design.
Part of this board is an integrated patented mcSMARTCON solution providing power supply to the display without additional cables and the use of main connector pins. This solution ensures convenient and quick installation.
Passive POE solution is simple, but it is necessary to solve the separation of power supply from data. Here we have created a user-friendly and again structurally minimalist solution, using a standard data cable with RJ45 connectors on both sides.
Providing power from the passive input is one of the main tasks of this product. The RJ45 connector on the fan side is used for this function, see figure. This ensures easy installation of the electrical installation. The power supply is primarily built for 12 and 24V supply voltages with a maximum input of up to 48V.
Part of our solution is protection against polarity reversal. The wrong polarity of the input power supply is indicated by a red LED. This signaling also serves as an indication of the presence of AC voltage, which is also undesirable.
The board is equipped with a connector that allows two uses. The first is used for external power supply of the entire system, for example for use in switchboards and communication via WiFi. The second use is to output passive voltage from the POE to other peripherals.
Realtime clocks are an integral part of industrial applications and at the same time the missing link in the raspberry pi product. Losing the notion of time in industrial applications is a big problem and therefore our solution complements it. There is also a standard replaceable CR2032 battery, providing time updates even when switched off.
For active cooling for cooling at higher and long-term loads, we chose a quiet and maintenance-free maglev fan. Maglev is a system where the rotor is carried on a non-contact magnetic field. For its control, the processor uses a continuously adjustable linear voltage source to prevent incorrect control and reduced service life. It is thus possible to connect a fan to this output which does not support direct pwm control.
The passive heat sink increasing the thermal capacity of the processor is an integral part of our product in the package. It provides increased resistance of the processor to heating under dynamic load and thus ensures quiet and smooth operation of the entire cooling system. Its size is a balance between flat and low development.
The full-featured 40-pin through-out connector is used to connect additional expansion boards designed for the Raspberry Pi. This allows full use of the system in any already designed project.
Although the products are offered for wider use separately, many of them have been developed together to form an ideal and comprehensive connection for any end application. If you have doubts or you are interested in combining specific products, write to us.
