Pilz: IndustrialPI – The Flexible and Versatile Industrial PC That Adapts to All Your Needs

November 5, 2024

With the IndustrialPI industrial PC, Pilz supports you in the implementation of the most varied applications in industrial automation. Thanks to its modular design, the open, Linux-based operating system and integrated interfaces, IndustrialPI is a true all-rounder.

IndustrialPI is versatile, whether purely as an industrial PC, industrial controller (soft PLC) or as an IIoT gateway for your data. It is thus ideally equipped to implement your IIoT, automation and motion projects in industrial automation environments.

The industrial PC is based on the familiar Raspberry Pi. The computer module was installed in a housing that was developed specifically for industrial use, including an expansion board for interfaces and connections suitable for industrial applications. As a result it is perfectly suitable for use in your industrial automation environment. Depending on the requirement, the base module can be expanded seamlessly using the appropriate digital and analogue I/O modules.

How to use the IndustrialPI:

  • IIoT gateway 

As a gateway for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), IndustrialPI collects data in the immediate vicinity of plant and machinery and connects the IIoT to cloud services. Used as an IIoT gateway, for example, IndustrialPI sends data from the configurable small controllers PNOZmulti to your cloud. You thus have access to your data from around the world, from any location! You can use and evaluate your data system-wide, in order to optimise your processes. It is also possible to set up interfaces to your own IT systems as well as to cloud solutions.
