SPIDER Automation EDATEC CM4 IO Industrial Computer | 1GB RAM 8GB eMMC | Metal Enclosure
Description
SPIDER Automation EDATEC CM4 IO Computer is an industrial-grade embedded computer series built around the powerful Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 and IO board architecture. Configured with 1GB RAM and 8GB eMMC storage, this model (ED-CM4IO-1108-C) is engineered to deliver reliable performance in commercial, automation, and IoT applications.
The system features dual standard HDMI connectors capable of 4K high-definition output, Gigabit Ethernet with PoE capability, and certified 2.4G/5.8G dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity. Housed inside a rugged, protective metal casing, it includes a smart one-click power control button, an onboard battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) for scheduled wake-ups, and a PWM-controlled silent cooling fan to maintain optimal thermal performance under load.
Key Features
- Compute Module 4 Integration: Powered by Raspberry Pi CM4 with 1GB RAM, 8GB eMMC storage, and optional microSD card booting.
- Dual 4K HDMI Outputs: Supports two standard HDMI ports capable of crisp, high-definition video output.
