Strato

Strato Pi is an expansion board developed by Sfera Labs for the Raspberry Pi computer board.

Strato Pi

Strato Pi implements a number of hardware features to expand the Pi and allow its use in professional applications:

• 9-28 Vdc extended-range power supply
• integrated UPS with external NiCd rechargeable battery
• real-time clock with dedicated back-up battery
• opto-isolated RS-232 or RS-485 serial port
• configurable hardware watchdog
• buzzer for audible feedback.

HSYCO Configuration

Add a STRATO I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters.

Note that the Strato I/O Server doesn't count in the I/O servers license total, so you don't need an extra I/O Server license to use Strato with HSYCO.

High Availability

• Shutdown when inactive: defaults to false.

Options

ID	Default	Values	Description
watchdog	false	true	enables the hardware watchdog and automatically generates the heartbeat signal
		false	disables the hardware watchdog
shutdown_minutes	0	0	no automatic shutdown after power failure
		int > 0	the driver will command the operating system shutdown and hardware power off after N minutes of back-up battery operations during a power failure. The Strato board will automatically power-up the Pi when power is restored
quiet	false	true	enables audible alarms on power failure
		false	disables audible alarms on power failure
