  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction Strato Pi CAN enhances the Raspberry Pi Model B version 2 and 3 computers with several hardware features to make it suitable for use in professional applications where reliability and service continuity are key requirements. It is available as a bare board or fully assembled unit including a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or B+ in a standard DIN-rail case.

    Strato Pi CAN circuit board. NOTICE The GPIO connector of the Strato Pi CAN board must be perfectly aligned to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins. Turning on the Raspberry Pi and/or the Strato Pi CAN board with the GPIO not correctly connected will damage both the Raspberry Pi and Strato Pi CAN board.

    The battery is only used to power the RTC chip when the main power is not available (when the Raspberry Pi is off). Depending on operating conditions it should last up to three years if the Strato Pi board is not powered, more if the Strato Pi CAN receives external power.

  • Page 13: Power Supply

    When a Strato Pi CAN board is used, never connect the Raspberry Pi micro-USB power plug. The Strato Pi CAN power supply stage is optimised to deliver up to 2.5A at 5V to the Raspberry Pi. Because Strato Pi CAN has two parallel 650mA resettable fuses (polyfuse) on the power supply line, the maximum current that its regulator can deliver is also limited by these fuses, and depends on the input voltage.

  • Page 16: Software Installation And Configuration

    Software installation and configuration All features of Strato Pi CAN, except the real time clock and the CAN controller, are controlled via dedicated GPIO pins and can be used with any operating system and programming language that supports the GPIO pins control on Raspberry Pi. The real time clock is interfaced via the I C serial bus, while the CAN controller uses the SPI lines.

    If the RTC address is not detected, the cause could be a hardware problem, on the Strato board or the Raspberry Pi. If you have another Pi or Strato board, try swapping them to isolate the faulty board. Strato Pi CAN User Guide...
