Sfera Labs Iono Pi

Sfera Labs Iono Pi is a versatile Input/Output module with a very powerful computing core based on the Raspberry Pi 3. The Iono Pi features several digital and analog input lines, support for standard interfaces like 1- Wire and Wiegand, and power relay outputs typical of modern PLCs.

Iono Pi also has features essential for professional applications, like a robust power supply with wide voltage range (9÷28Vdc) capable of up to 2.5A output current at 5V to the Raspberry Pi board. The board has an optional real time clock with a lithium back-up battery. Typical applications for the Iono Pi are data acquisition and control, home and building automation, access control, hotel room control solutions, environmental monitoring, and many others.

The board uses Raspberry Pi software development with a constantly growing list of standard and proprietary software frameworks available. The Iono Pi can be used in industrial and residential environments, for professional applications where extreme reliability, ruggedness and compliance with technical and safety directives are required.

The fully assembled version is packaged in a compact DIN standard case with omega-rail mounts, and certified to the relevant CE standards, ready for use in professional installation. The bare board is called the Iono Pi Board, while the assembled unit is simply called the Iono Pi.

All versions are compliant with the 2014/35/UE (Low Voltage) and 2014/30/UE (EMC) CE directives and harmonized standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EN61000-6-2:2005), electrical safety (EN60664-1:2007), emission (EN61000-6-3:2007) and the RoHS directive for hazardous substances (2011/65/UE).
