“When Raspberry Pi unveiled the CM4, they mentioned that over half of the Raspberry Pi computers sold were being used for industrial and commercial applications,” said OnLogic product manager Mike Walsh.

 

Factor 202 (FR202) measures 201 x 121 x 54mm, can mount on a wall or DIN rail, and adds 16x digital inputs, 16x digital outputs, 4x analogue inputs, 2x analogus outputs and a 2.7in capacitive touchscreen to the physically-smaller Factor 201 launched earlier this year.

 

It “takes everything that makes the Factor 201 special and adds additional connectivity and a built-in user interface”, said Walsh.

 

Cooling is passive, and operation is from 8 – 24V and over -20 to 60°C. For single-cable installations, power can also come through an Ethernet connection using Power-over-Ethernet Power Delivery (PoE-PD).

Aside from the interfaces above, specs include the Pi’s Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A72, up to 8Gbyte LPDDR4, up to 32Gbyts eMMC flash, up to 2Tbyte of M.2 2280 SATA storage, 2x Gbyte Ethernet, 1x USB 3.2, 2x USB 2.0, HDMI for video, a RS-232/422/485 port, I2C, SPI and 1x USB-C for CM4 management. Wi-Fi or 4G LTE are optional.

 

“The system meets RoHS, FCC, CE, VCCI, RCM, UL, and CB regulatory requirements, as well as EMC requirements for IT, Industrial, and medical applications,” according to the company.
