Form Factor

Flat-open

The use as a flat-open reflects the original idea of emBRICK: to replace one board with several small boards. This is also the most cost-effective variant, which can be installed in your own housing, on a rail or on a patch board.

Rail-box

The use as a rail-box is a classic modular control system: circuit boards are already installed in the housing.

Topology

Stand-alone single box controller

The Local Mode Operation is used for small and local systems, mostly complete deceives. The local-master is mostly the (only) main CPU of the device that controls also HMI, external communication and application.

Distributed

The Remote Mode Operation is used for mid and large size systems i.e. with distributed devices/nodes. Other applications are the adaption of hosts that cannot support a real or pseudo SPI.

controlling Master Platforms

From µC to IPC

emBRICK® can be adapted to all platforms with almost every footprint or performance. For master units, we offer different system implementations like μController and Computer platforms, as well as Host and Wireless Interfaces.

become part of Our philosophy

Discover the power of an open-source and free solution and become a part of our idea.

Without license costs, anyone can become a hardware supplier. The code for our slave and master bricks is fully open, so anyone can create drivers for their own environment.

Programming

Supporting over 5 programming methods

emBRICK® is compatible with all common programming methods including various systems, languages and IDEs (integrated development interface).

electronical adaptions

Connect actors, sensors and other electrical adaptations directly, without extra effort.

emBRICK covers a range of digital and analog in- and outputs, as well as other electronic adaptations in the fields of measurement, communication and control/actuation. The “build in” amplifier is already included. Direct control of IA’s via your own industrial control system without having to connect drivers or amplifiers.
