Learn which use cases you can implement with Revolution Pi!

Control Processes

Soft PLC with CODESYS

Combine the reliability of a programmable logic controller according to PLC standard EN 61131-2 with the flexibility of Linux.

With CODESYS, you can program according to the IEC 61131-3 standard in languages such as Structured Text (ST), Ladder Diagram (LD), or Function Block Diagram (FBD). If required, you can add further software.

The real-time Linux operating system enables cycle times of up to five milliseconds. Your process image is created automatically when you configure your expansion modules.

You will find numerous RevPi I/O modules and supported protocols for your application.

Process Data Locally

Edge Device

With Revolution Pi, you don't just access machine and sensor data, you process it directly at the point of origin. Revolution Pi's powerful quad-core ARM architecture is perfect for demanding edge computing tasks.

With minimal energy consumption, you can intelligently analyze and filter data before it goes to the cloud – saving bandwidth and enabling faster responses.

Use Python NumPy and SciPy for calculations and complex models, and Docker containers for microservices.

Revolution Pi processes HD video streams from up to two cameras in real-time and performs sophisticated AI analyses with TensorFlow – ideal for industrial image processing and machine learning directly at the edge.
