Factor 201 Raspberry Pi Industrial IoT Gateway

Main Features of the Product

RASPBERRY PI GOES INDUSTRIAL

The Factor 201 is an ultra-compact industrial ARM computer, powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4). In contrast to the standard Raspberry Pi 4, the CM4 uses industrial, fully standardized components with longer lifecycles and better thermal management. Integrating the CM4 allows the Factor 201 to bring the flexibility, ease of prototyping, and palm-sized performance of Raspberry Pi to the industrial edge. At the heart of Factor 201 is a Quad-Core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC. You can configure the system with up to 8 GB of RAM, 32 GB of onboard eMMC storage and an M.2 SATA drive up to 2 TB. Factor 201 is ideal as a general purpose computer, industrial controller, edge gateway or IoT device.

ENGINEERED FOR RELIABILITY

Raspberry Pi has long been a popular choice for prototyping industrial projects. But once those solutions move to mass production, it's traditionally been necessary to transition to a platform designed specifically for industrial use. The Factor 201 overcomes that need by providing an industrial-grade Raspberry Pi solution, engineered for challenging industrial applications. Fanless, solid state construction, an operating temperature range of -20° to 60°C, wide input power range, and industrial components with long lifecycles make Factor 201 an ideal industrial deployment platform. In order to make installation even easier, the system offers power over ethernet (PoE) power delivery, meaning power and networking can be provided to the system over a single cable.

INDUSTRY-FOCUSED I/O

Connectivity is key to any industrial project. Our custom carrier board inside Factor 201 gives you dual 1 GbE LAN ports, 1 RS-232/422/485 terminal block connector, 1 USB 3.2 port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 HDMI port, and 1 USB-C management port used to configure the CM4 module. Integrated DIN rail and wall mounting options let you install Factor 201 anywhere you need it.

Factor 201 meets OnLogic's industrial controller requirements for EMC according to Industrial/Scientific Equipment EN 55011, IT Equipment EN 55032 & 35, Medical Devices 60601-1-2 (4th ed.), and Maritime IEC 60945. Safety evaluations have included NRTL Safety Listings and CB schemes for IT equipment, and Industrial/Scientific/PLC equipment (IEC 62368-1, IEC 61010-1, 61010-2-201). Wireless compliance for FCC and European RED includes single transmitter use with either LTE or Wi-Fi/BT. Geographical compliance includes USA, CA, AUS/NZ, JP, and China

CELLULAR CONNECTIVITY

This system can be configured with an integrated cellular modem, pre-certified to operate on many of the world’s most popular cellular carrier networks using a SIM card. Our 4G capable hardware is ideal for today's mobile, edge computing, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. The wireless connectivity has been tested to operate reliably in challenging Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) environments (EN 300 328, EN 301 908-2, EN 301 489-17, EN 301 489-52). Many of our systems also include co-location options allowing you to implement Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, in addition to cellular connectivity, at the same time. To take advantage of cellular connectivity, simply configure your system with one of our available cellular modems and then contact your carrier to activate.
