MIO Raspberry Pi 3 Starter Kit is a modular expansion board compatible with Raspberry Pi 3. The I/O ports of the motherboard are led to the expansion board for a unified layout with the addition of four M5S modular components out of the box.
M5S modular components are components with integrated circuits aiming at versatile operation in industrial systems like regulators or programmable logic controllers. The modules are a connecting element between electronics on one side and the world of industrial control on the other. The modules are completely sealed, waterproof, fireproof, and dustproof. A universal wiring diagram allows all M5S I/O modules to be interchangeable without changing the internal or external wiring.
This kit supports a total of eight M5S modular components and comes with four M5s modular components. Smart Relay modules, switching value modules, analog quantity modules, and pulsed quantity modules can be freely selected according to the characteristics of the development board for users to access/drive peripheral devices.
By plugging different M5S modules, customer-specific input/output configurations can be achieved as well as the addition of functions to already rolled-out devices.
