reTerminal DM Hardware Overview
reTerminal DM is A 10.1" open-source industrial HMI - an Integrated Device Master to unify data flow and manage the onsite device.
Based on Raspberry Pi CM4, and as a Panel PC, HMI, PLC, IIoT Gateway all-in-one device, reTerminal DM is a new generation of interactive sensing hub with an IP65 industrial-grade large screen.
It is equipped with rich scalability and hybrid connectivity, supporting CAN bus, RS485, RS232, Gigabit Ethernet port, and other interfaces, as well as powerful wireless communication capabilities such as 4G, LoRa®, WiFi, and BLE.
*4G and LoRa® modules does not come with reTerminal DM by default, please purchase the relevant modules accordingly, for 4G bundle
