Scalable out-of-the-box IIoT device for your Industry 4 journey
With over thirty years experience providing some of the most robust communications in the industry, Brainboxes continue their commitment to improving solutions with the BB-400 NeuronEdge Controller
Power Input
- 5 pin colour coded and labelled removable terminal block
- +5 to +30 VDC dual redundant power supply
8 Digital IO lines
- Software selectable as input or output
- All lines either NPN or PNP
- LED status for each line
- Input up to +30VDC
UPS Uninterruptible power supply
- UPS consists of two large capacitors, acting as batteries to provide back-up power
- When supply is interrupted the UPS provides enough power for the Compute module to shutdown cleanly, preventing corruption of the disc
- Shutdown is triggered automatically when the UPS is activated
- 4 LEDs show the status of UPS
Ethernet ports
- 2 standard Ethernet Magjack ports
- Both with status and link LED indication
- Ethernet ports are separate (not a switch)
- Separation can help simplify set up
- Provides network engineers with administrative options
- 1 provides an uplink for transferring data onto the corporate network or beyond
- 1 provides LAN for linking devices on the factory floor
- Link LED, green, indicates there is a connection made between the device and something capable of communicating, the status of this LED is controlled by the hardware
- When Link LED flashes green information is being transmitted
- Status LED for LAN port indicates 10/100mpbs off=10 on =100
Wi-Fi
- 802.11 b/g/n standard Wi-Fi
- Alternative to the uplink port
- Enables an internet connection where cable can’t be run
Pi Compute Module 3
- An industrial module made by Raspberry Pi
- Provides the processing power
- Familiar Linux CLI terminal software/interface
Realtime clock
- Time and date stored – timestamping preserved if shut down
- Battery backup keeps chip running
- Battery is replaceable
Use in conjection with other Brainboxes devices to customise and expand your application.
User friendly Software
- Easy configuration through web based dashboard
- Open source, Linux system, provides accessible programming and customisation options
- Use with ASCII and JSON, Websockets and REST
- Free APIs, such as .NET with more being added.
- Benefit from large developer communities using the open source software.
