EDATEC's embedded industrial computer makes the possibilities of parallax control systems endless

Parallax control system is a control system developed for the control and automation of audiovisual equipment, this system has three features:

1. Code-free user interface

2. Node-RED or C#

3. Control of any AV device

The Parallax Control System is built for control, with the ability to build user interfaces for iOS, macOS, Android, PC, and the Web, allowing users to control it directly from their existing tablets.

Watch the video to see how Parallax Control System builds mobile UI apps in minutes.

The Parallax Control System is written using Node-RED or C# to code the back-end logic. No code or code only gives you the option to control a/v devices with no code or all code. Write the back-end control logic using your favorite IDE. Upload console applications directly to the processor or wire directly into a web browser using Node-RED.

Parallax Control System's 4 major advantages:

1.Industrial Hardware: Parallax Control meets the needs of industrial and commercial applications. Ideal for corporate, hospitality, medical simulation, command centers, AR, VR, and any application that requires touch control and automation.

2. No-Code UI Wizard: The Scene Wizard places user interface elements in the canvas for you. These elements include buttons, sliders, pictures, and more. When you're done, press the Set Scene button to build the finished project.

3. Visual Programming: Write control system logic using Node-RED or C#.

4. Control any device: Support GPIO, Relay, RS232, RS485, TCP, UDP, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, WebSockets and MQTT.

The hardware control of the parallax control system is controlled by two industrial computers developed by EDATEC, one of which is based on the Raspberry Pi CM4 embedded industrial computer ED-CM4Nano, which is designed for industrial applications and high-performance, high-flexibility embedded computers, which takes full advantage of the flexibility of the CM4 in the structure to solve the problem of heat dissipation of CPU, wireless module and PMU, and through the external WIFI/BT antenna to improve the reliability of wireless communication and provide flexible expansion capabilities. It makes full use of CM4's structural flexibility to solve the heat dissipation problem of CPU, wireless module and PMU, and improves the reliability of wireless communication through external WIFI/BT antenna, and provides flexible expansion capability.

The parallax control system uses EDATEC's CM4 Nano as the hardware control mainly because of its high level of integration, small size, and minimal footprint, with options for wall-mounting, shelf-mounting, or rail-mounting. CM4 Nano has a 40-pin GPIO connector to work with Raspberry Pi Node- RED nodes, which comes with a wireless gateway to connect an iPad or Android tablet directly to the device. CM4 Nano has a full-size HDMI port, making it easy to apply directly to our 1080p digital signage applications. And it has a full-size HDMI port, making it easy to apply directly to our 1080p digital signage applications.

Another embedded industrial computer based on Raspberry Pi CM4, CM4 Industrial, can provide a variety of industrial communication interfaces and functions, such as multiple RS232, RS485, multiple high-precision ADCs, isolated IO inputs, relay control, battery-backed real-time clocks, and alarm buzzers, and its powerful communication functions can meet the various requirements of industrial scenarios. Its powerful communication functions can meet various requirements in industrial scenarios. It also provides powerful communication capabilities, certified 2.4/5.8G dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth, supports external antennas, and its system has very strong expansion capabilities.

CM4 Industrial's full-featured interface makes it the device of choice for parallax control systems:

• 2 x Isolated Relay: double-pole, double-throw DPDT relay
• 2 x Digital Inputs: Isolated DI with wet/dry contact support.
• 2 x RS485: 6-pin terminal block
• 1 x RS232: 3-pin terminal block
• 3 x Analog-to-digital converter: 12-bit ADC channel
• 1 x Full-size HDMI port: for 1080p digital signage applications
