Sfera Labs Strato Pi Max is now powered by the Raspberry Pi compute module 5
Sfera Labs has announced the latest evolution of its Strato Pi Max platform, incorporating the latest Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5).
Strato Pi Max is a versatile Raspberry Pi Controller and features a modular design, a hybrid CPU/MCU architecture, and extensive customisation options. This adaptability enables the Strato Pi Max to support bespoke requirements of all industrial automation projects, as well as to evolve with them.
Housed in a compact, 9- or 6-module DIN-Rail case, Strato Pi Max features two Ethernet ports, SSD, eMMC and dual SD card storage options, as well as two USB 2.0 type-A ports, with individual power control and fault detection. The platform also incorporates a slate of robust reliability and security features, including redundant storage, secure element chip, tamper detection, and hardware watchdog.
The Strato Pi Max can be easily expanded via its X2-Series expansion boards in order to meet the specific needs of industrial automation projects. These expansion boards can add up to 16 RS-485 or RS-422 ports, 4 CAN V2.0B ports, digital and analog I/O, UPS, and LTE to provide a flexible, scalable and future-proof solution.
Strato Pi Max is designed to adapt to unique requirements, offering the flexibility to create hardware tailored to specific needs. Its modular design supports both standard expansion boards and custom-built boards, enabling the integration of specialised sensors or the development of application-specific interfaces. This ensures full control over automation projects.
Additionally, Sfera Labs provides custom provisioning services, including preloaded OS images, firmware, and branding, delivering ready-to-deploy devices to customers.
