A TouchBerry project starts from what the operator has to see and do, and ends with a Panel PC with Raspberry Pi running on site. Each project on this page shows the problem, how it is solved and the hardware it uses.
Four steps, from the first message to the first controller on site.
Inputs, outputs, sensors and what the system must do. A rough list is enough to start.
Run the closest simulator and break things on purpose: network cuts, faults, peaks.
Take a project pack or a recipe from the PLC Solution Library and adapt it.
We check the I/O count and the communications with you and you get a quote.
Industrial Shields engineers answer your questions from the first contact. The wiring and the start-up on site are done by your team or your integrator.
Five jobs for a Panel PC. Each card links the simulator, the code and the installations where it already runs.
TouchBerry · Own I/O · Node-RED
A small station needs control and a screen, and two devices would be too much.
How it is solvedThe TouchBerry runs the station on its own I/O and shows it on its own screen.
TouchBerry · UART · Graphs
A measuring device needs to read its sensor and show the result, without developing its own electronics and screen.
How it is solvedThe sensor connects over UART and the TouchBerry shows the result as a graph and a number.
TouchBerry · Ethernet · User levels
The PLC runs the machine, and the operator needs a screen with user levels that does not touch the control logic.
How it is solvedThe TouchBerry connects to the PLC over Ethernet and shows the process, with a login for each level.
TouchBerry · Rooms · Kitchens
Staff or guests need a clear screen where the service happens, and it has to follow what the controller knows.
How it is solvedA TouchBerry on the network shows orders in the kitchen or the controls of a room.
TouchBerry · MQTT · Dashboards
Several controllers each hold part of the picture, and the plant needs one screen and a log it can export.
How it is solvedThe PLCs send MQTT to the TouchBerry, which runs the dashboard and keeps the logs.
Free material to design, test and supervise the project before you order anything.
Free course · 9 lessons
Your PLCs send data over MQTT or Modbus. This course shows how to turn that data into screens, alarms and history with Node-RED.
Tell us what the system must do and which signals it has. An Industrial Shields engineer will answer with the model and the next steps.
