Cyber-Physical Production System Platform

Description

RELY-CPPS platform meets the needs of critical applications, in terms of reliability, availability and security. It combines in the same device sensor data acquisition, high-availability networking and Edge computing capabilities.

The RELY-CPPS family simplifies connectivity in the Edge by combining sensor data acquisition and networking in the same equipment. These devices implement a flexible multi-vendor input switchboard to support communication with OT devices. Additionally, direct connection with digital and analog sensors can be included in the platform. The connectivity with the IT world is carried out by IT and IoT protocols like OPC-UA and MQTT. This flexibility in the output switchboard reduces significantly the workload for integration with Enterprise and Cloud-based applications

Expansion Modules

Sensor Module

The Sensor Module has been designed to provide in a single board a wide range of input and output signals commonly used in the Industry, in order to interact with the environment. The inputs and outputs available in this module are:

• 3 x Digital inputs: Isolated 0-24 VDC
• 1 x Analog input: 4-20 mA
• 1 x Potential-free relay output 250 VAC max
• 1 x Three-wire RTD (PT100) temperature sensor interface
• 1 x Thermocouple Type K sensor interface
• 1 x Integrated electronic piezoelectric (IEPE) accelerometer input
• 1 x RS422 (optional)
• 1 x RS485 + 1 x RS232 (optional)

To extend the capacity of input/output switchboard, it is possible to connect a second Sensor Module to one of the non-used slots.

High Speed Data Acquisition Module

The High Speed Data Acquisition Module covers the requirements of demanding applications where high sensitivity and high speed are needed. The main features of this modules are:

• 4 x 24 bit ADC input channels
• Selectable analog input: +/- 10 VDC or 4-20 mA
• 30 kSps sampling rate
• Independent power isolation for each channel

Data Logger Module

Many Industrial applications require the storage of large data volumes locally. For example, there are many remote premises without or with limited access to Internet. Additionally, complex applications and services running in the Edge may demand extra massive storage disk.

In such cases, RELY-CPPS can be supplied with the Data Logger Module, which includes an industrial temperature grade 256GB SSD Disk. To extend the capacity of RELY-CPPS up to 500GB, it is possible to connect a second Data Logger Module to one of the non-used slots of the equipment.

Wireless Module

The optional Wireless Module offers a seamless integration of RF communication media within the networking and computational infrastructure of RELY-CPPS. The communication standards supported by this module are:

• WIFI 802.11 b/g/n
• Bluetooth v4.0 (backwards compatible with Bluetooth v2.0, v2.1 and v3.0)
