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

Strato Pi

Strato Pi implements a number of hardware features to expand the Pi and allows 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

Datapoints

ID Value R/W Description
battery 0 R power supply is available
1 R power supply failure, running on UPS battery
beep 0 R buzzer is off
1 R buzzer is on
off W turn buzzer off
on W turn buzzer on (continuous tone)
<duration> W turn buzzer on for <duration> seconds (decimals allowed)
<duration>;<pause> W turn buzzer on for <duration> seconds, then pause for <pause> seconds (decimals allowed)
heartbeat 0 R heartbeat line is off
W set heartbeat line to off
1 R heartbeat line is on
W set heartbeat line to on
shutdown 0 R shutdown line is off
1 R shutdown line is on
W set shutdown line to on (Strato will wait approximately 60 seconds, then execute a power off-on cycle. Once the shutdown line is set to on, the power cycle procedure can't be reset
timeout 0 R hardware watchdog timeout line is off
1 R hardware watchdog timeout line is on. Strato will set this line to on, then wait approximately 60 seconds and execute a power off-on cycle
watchdog 0 R hardware watchdog is disabled
W disables the hardware watchdog
1 R hardware watchdog is enabled
W enables the hardware watchdog. When enabled, Strato should see an off-on transition on the hearbeat line at least every 60 seconds, otherwise a power cycle will be initiated, setting the timeout line on, then waiting 60 seconds, removing power to the Pi for 5 seconds, and finally restoring power
