Page 8: Introduction
Introduction Strato Pi CAN enhances the Raspberry Pi Model B version 2, 3 and 4 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+ or Raspberry Pi 4 Model B in a standard DIN-rail case. -

appropriate turrets/spacers to firmly bolt the two boards together, ensuring that no conductive part of one board touches any part of the other board. Be particularly careful to ensure there is enough clearance between the Ethernet and USB connectors and the bottom of 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. - Page 12 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.

Page 13: Terminal Block
OPENING THE CASE OF RASPBERRY PI 4 MODEL B MODELS Terminal block Strato Pi CAN has an 11 positions terminal block, used for power, CAN, RS-485 and relay connections. The maximum conductor cross section is 1.5 mm (16 AWG), or 0.5 mm when using ferrules (highly recommended). -
Page 14: Power Supply
Power supply Strato Pi can be powered with DC voltage only: ✓ DC: nominal voltage range 9.0V to 65.0V. Respect the correct polarity shown in the schematic diagram (+ -). The power supply circuit implements reverse polarity protection using auto resetting fuses and surge protection up to ±500V/2ohms 1.2/50μs. -
Page 15: Relay Output
Relay output Strato Pi CAN has one relay with change-over (CO), Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) terminals. The relay itself is rated for a 6A maximum current but, due to the terminal block size and isolation requirements, the output contacts are rated for 0.6A maximum current at 65V (DC). -
Page 16: Software Installation And Configuration
Run the following commands to download and install the Strato Pi CAN utility: $ cd /usr/local/bin $ sudo wget http://sferalabs.cc/files/stratopican/strato $ sudo chmod 755 strato You can run the utility without arguments to print its options: $ strato... -
Page 17: Installing The Real Time Clock Software
$ 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:... -
Page 18: Can Bus
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. -
Page 19: Configuring The Serial Port
Save the file and reboot. Configuring the serial port On Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, the main UART (ttyAMA0) is used by default for Bluetooth, and the TX/RX pins on the GPIO connector are controlled by a limited function Mini UART (ttyS0). -
Page 20: Using Strato Pi Can
Using Strato Pi CAN Real Time Clock Strato Pi CAN 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. ATECC608A Secure Element Strato Pi CAN embeds the ATECC608A secure element chip from Microchip. - Page 21 The RS-485 lines are isolated from the Raspberry Pi’s serial lines using dedicated opto- couplers, and from the main power supply with a high-efficiency DC-DC converter. This configuration should prevent ground loops between devices connected via the RS-485 lines. The RS-485 TX/RX switching is implemented automatically in the Strato Pi’s micro- controller, based on speed and number of bits detection, and is completely transparent to the software controlling the UART on Raspberry Pi.

Page 22: Can Port
CAN port The CAN interface is based on the Microchip MCP2515 stand-alone Controller Area Network controller and the Microchip MCP2561 high-speed CAN transceiver. They implement the CAN specification version 2.0B, and support up to 1 Mbps speed. The CANH and CANL lines are available on the terminal block. The CAN transceiver’s TX and RX lines are isolated from the CAN controller with dedicated opto-couplers. -

Then setup the CAN interface at the appropriate speed, for example at 500 kbps: $ sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000 You can now check that the CAN interface is up, and send or receive data: $ sudo ifconfig can0 Link encap:UNSPEC... -

The watchdog is normally disabled. To enable it, set GPIO6 pin to high. While GPIO6 is high, the Strato Pi CAN micro-controller will watch for state changes of the GPIO5 heartbeat pin. You should ensure that GPIO5 flips its state between high and low faster than every 60 seconds. - Page 25 These configuration parameters can be accessed using the Strato Pi kernel module or implementing the underlying ASCII-based serial protocol described in the "Strato Pi Logic Controller Advanced Configuration Guide" document.

Page 26: Thermal Considerations For Strato Pi Can Server
Thermal considerations for Strato Pi CAN server The Raspberry Pi draws power and generates heat proportionally to CPU and GPU load. The Strato Pi main regulator also generates heat proportionally to the total amount of current that it has to supply to the Raspberry and, if present, external devices. The thermal behaviour of Strato Pi CAN server is dynamic and affected by operating conditions and the external environment temperature. - Page 27 35C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, LOW CPU LOAD 35C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, HIGH CPU LOAD Strato Pi CAN User Guide...
