The CM4 Sensing is an industrial computer designed to address the specific requirements of IoT and data acquisition applications. Leveraging the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4), this compact device offers a versatile and reliable solution for industrial environments.

As its name implies, this new EDATEC industrial computer is based on the Raspberry Pi Computer Module 4. The company mentions that the device can be configured with 1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB RAM and 8GB/16GB/32GB eMMC.

• Broadcom BCM2711 — Quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A72 (up to 1.5GHz); H.265 (HEVC) (up to 4Kp60 decode); H.264 (up to 1080p60 decode, 1080p30 encode)

The CM4 Sensing is equipped with comprehensive industrial interfaces, including a 4G/LTE module, RS485 and RS232 channels, CAN bus, Gigabit Ethernet, an alarm buzzer, and a battery-powered real-time clock. The device supports Raspberry Pi’s official 7″ touch display through the DSI interface, while the standard HDMI interface allows for 4K HD video output.

EDATEC states that this device was designed to withstand harsh environments and to operate reliably with a wide power input range of 8V to 28V DC. Its compact form factor and efficient cooling system ensure optimal performance, even in high-temperature conditions.

Installation and mounting options are convenient with the inclusion of four M2.5 screw holes and support for DIN rail mounting. Moreover, the CM4 Sensing is certified with CE and FCC compliance.
