Overview¶
Important
Software included with this product is subject to a license agreement described here.
The Reach Technology G3 module family supports a variety of LCD panel sizes and resolutions. These are available with either PCAP or resistive touch sensors. Several models support extended industrial temperature ranges. Different models are based on NXP or ST processors and present many standards based I/O interfaces on low cost connectors. You can choose from a variety of supported software toolkits to easily design and implement a custom graphical user interface for your product.

Overall system safety and robustness must always be the top priority in end product application design. While Reach Technology makes every effort to engineer the utmost reliability into the G3 module, at its core, it’s based on a Linux single board computer. As such, the G3 module should never be designed into a system in a safety critical role. It’s just not possible to completely audit every line of code, nor was Linux designed to power safety critical components.
Typical Use Cases¶
Here are some typical use cases with brief descriptions of how the product fits.
Use Case |
Description |
|---|---|
A site gateway for a collection of sensors |
|
An integrated room or floor controller |
IIoT Gateway¶
There are many gateway products available for the Industrial Internet of Things market today. Very few of them have a local display so additional equipment is required if onsite monitoring or actuation is needed. With its rich set of industry standard interfaces, the G3 module offers a space, power and cost effective solution for this situation. It is suitable for pure telemetry monitoring or combined monitoring with set point and actuator control using standard protocols. It also has enough compute horsepower to perform onsite filtering and data transformations before pushing a telemetry result set to the cloud or your NOC.
Building Automation¶
Room or floor controllers need standard busses and/or wireless options to communicate with local sensors and actuators as well as wired and/or wireless networking to interact with the building central control system. A local touch screen display is needed to display local environmental and system conditions as well as allowing control of things like projection screens, multimedia sources, lighting levels and temporary environmental set point overrides. The G3 module offers the ability to engineer custom solutions for any project while maintaining a COTS budget and timeline.
