Description
The Kontron AL Pi-Tron CM3+ is an industrial DIN rail computer from the Kontron Automation-Line series, built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ to deliver the extensive software ecosystem, community-driven tooling, and cost-effectiveness of the Raspberry Pi platform in a robust stainless steel chassis engineered for control cabinet integration. Developed by Kontron as an official Raspberry Pi Design Partner, the AL Pi-Tron CM3+ houses the Broadcom BCM2837B0 quad-core Cortex-A53 processor at 1.2GHz with 1GB LPDDR2 RAM and eMMC storage options of 8GB or 32GB, alongside a microSD slot on the Lite variant for the operating system. Communication interfaces include two 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports, two USB 2.0 Host ports, one USB 2.0 OTG for eMMC programming, RS-232, RS-485, CAN 2.0, and four 24V digital I/O channels at up to 800mA, providing a comprehensive set of industrial connectivity options for automation controllers, IoT gateways, and M2M communication devices. The unit runs Raspbian Linux and benefits from the large Raspberry Pi developer community providing extensive software examples, fully translated packages, and active support resources that significantly reduce development time for industrial applications. Additional I/O can be added via Kontron multifunctional I/O modules connected via the CAN interface, with up to 16 modules supported for digital, analogue, and temperature I/O expansion. The stainless steel IP20 housing measures 111 x 25 x 76mm and mounts on standard 35mm DIN rail per EN 60715, operating from 0°C to 55°C on 24V DC at a maximum of 9.6W. FCC, UL61010, and CB report certified. Available from Recab, your Nordic partner for Kontron Automation-Line Raspberry Pi industrial computing solutions.
