Safety information Carefully and fully read this user guide before installation and retain it for future reference. Qualified personnel The product described in this manual must be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task and installation environment, in accordance with all relevant documentation and safety instructions.
Safety instructions General safety instructions Protect the unit against moisture, dirt and any kind of damage during transport, storage and operation. Do not operate the unit outside the specified technical data. Never open the housing. If not otherwise specified, install in closed housing (e.g. distribution cabinet).
Battery This product uses a small lithium non-rechargeable battery to power its internal real time clock (RTC). WARNING Improper handling of lithium batteries can result in an explosion of the batteries and/or release of harmful substances. Worn-out or defective batteries can compromise the function of this product. Replace the RTC lithium battery before it is completely discharged.
Introduction Strato Pi CM is an extremely powerful and compact industrial server based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, suitable for use in professional and industrial applications where reliability and service continuity are key requirements, and housed in a compact 2 modules DIN rail case.
Features Strato Pi CM, all versions: ✓ 9-28Vdc power supply, with surge and reverse polarity protection, and 1.1A resettable fuse ✓ up to 1.9A max continuous current (3A peaks) to the 5V Raspberry Pi Compute Module power supply input pins (at 24Vdc) ✓...
Device identification The device can be identified with the information provided in the rating and identification plate, permanently attached to the side of the case. EXAMPLE RATING AND IDENTIFICATION PLATE Strato Pi CM User Guide...
Hardware Setup STRATO PI CM CONNECTION DIAGRAM For the initial set-up, the plastic DIN rail must be removed to access the circuit boards and internal connectors. The case also needs to be opened if the factory configuration of the RS-485 termination resistors must be changed (see below).
Closing the case 5. Replace the circuit boards assembly inside the case; ensure that the USB/Ethernet connectors are aligned with the opening in the case 6. Replace the case bottom, inserting the side opposite to the DIN rail hook first, then gently push the other side in place 7.
How to flash the eMMC In order to flash the Compute Module's eMMC memory, an additional board, like the Compute Module IO Board V3, shall be used. Use the latest RPIBOOT utility from Raspberry Pi and refer to its documentation for installation and usage details. Alternatively, if using the Compute Module 4S (or a Compute Module 3/3+ with USB host boot mode previously enabled ) you can boot the unit from USB , access via SSH, and flash the eMMC which will be available as a local mass storage device.

Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge, do not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C and protect from direct sunlight, moisture and condensation. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and the battery manufacturer's instructions.
Terminal block Strato Pi CM has a 5 positions terminal block for power and serial connections. The maximum conductor cross section is 1.5 mm (16 AWG), or 0.5 mm when using ferrules (highly recommended). Recommended stripping length is 5 mm. Screw thread is M2.
Dedicated GPIO pins Strato Pi CM uses some of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module GPIO pins. These pins should not be used for other functions. GPIO pin Direction Description GPIO2/SDA C SDA line for the real time clock GPIO3/SCL C SCL line for the real time clock GPIO14/TXD serial TX line GPIO15/RXD...
Run the following commands to download and install the Strato Pi utility: $ cd /usr/local/bin $ sudo wget http://sferalabs.cc/files/stratocmduo/strato $ sudo chmod 755 strato You can run the Strato Pi utility without arguments to print its options: $ strato...
$ sudo apt-get install i2c-tools With these prerequisite installs completed, you should download and run Strato Pi’s installation script: $ cd $ wget http://sferalabs.cc/files/strato/rtc-install $ chmod 755 rtc-install $ sudo ./rtc-install If the script completes with no errors, delete the installation script and reboot:...
If the returned date and time is not correct, or “hwclock” returns an error, use the “-w” option to set the hardware clock to the current time: $ sudo hwclock -w Then recheck the time stored in the hardware clock to ensure it matches. Linux may have failed to automatically update the hardware clock after the last reboot if its internal registers contained invalid values.
Using Strato Pi CM Real Time Clock Strato Pi CM has a hardware real time clock with a dedicated long-life non-rechargeable back-up battery. Once the RTC modules and configuration files are properly installed, you will simply use the date and time commands to control the hardware clock. RS-485 serial port Strato Pi CM uses the Raspberry Pi standard UART TX/RX pins on the GPIO connector to implement a standard RS-485 port.
RS-485 JUMPERS AND SWITCH POSITION USB ports power management Strato Pi CM has two USB ports, USB1 (bottom) and USB2 (top). USB PORTS Both ports are individually controlled by the MIC2076, a power distribution controller with circuit protection. The MIC2076 is internally current limited and has thermal shutdown that protects the device and load.
USB1 on: $ sudo strato usb1 on USB1 off: $ sudo strato usb1 off GPIO0 and GPIO1 return the fault state of USB1 and USB2. These lines will be high in normal conditions, or low when a fault is present. Print “1”...
Push button There is a recessed push button that is easily accessible removing the front panel. When this button is pressed, the Strato Pi CM controller will set GPIO38 high, so that an application can easily detect it by simply polling this GPIO line. Strato Pi CM has an on-board LED that can be controlled using GPIO16.
Note that Strato Pi CM will reset the Raspberry Pi Compute Module even if GPIO18 is not set high. In this case the power cycles occurs 120 seconds after the heartbeat timeout. The Strato Pi utility can be used to control the watchdog from your own application. Enable the watchdog: $ sudo strato watchdog enable Disable the watchdog:...
