30-April-2024 - Compulab introduces IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS - an industrial IoT gateway, offering rich functionality and exceptional modularity in a miniature, DIN-rail housing. Built around Compulab's own UCM-iMX8M-Plus System-on-Module, IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS features the NXP i.MX8M Plus SoC coupled with up-to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
The base IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS unit provides a wide range of features required in typical IoT control and monitoring applications:
A Truly Modular Solution
Each IoT project presents different connectivity requirements that cannot be addressed with a single hardware configuration.
To allow users to easily adapt the gateway to different use cases and installations, IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS can be expanded with an assortment of stackable I/O Expansion Modules:
I/O Modules are interconnected using the Compulab proprietary StackLink expansion interface. Up-to eight modules can be stacked, allowing the user to implement the following additional functionality in a single gateway:
I/O modules are automatically detected and configured on system boot, enabling completely seamless module installation and removal.
Additional I/O modules are in development. Custom, application specific modules will be offered on demand.
Optimized for Industrial Deployment
IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS is designed to address the requirements of IoT integration in industrial environments:
Software Support
Compulab provides IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS with ready-to-run Debian Linux with built-in Docker support and easy-to-use deployment tools, allowing customers to focus on application development.
Customers who prefer to configure a custom O/S image can leverage the IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS Yocto BSP which includes Linux kernel 5.15, Yocto Project 4.0 and U-Boot boot-loader. OTA updates are supported using a pre-configured Mender layer.
In addition, IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS supports popular IoT frameworks such as Docker, Microsoft Azure IoT and Node-RED.
