Linux-Based AggreGate Project System
Our Linux-based AggreGate Project System (LAPS) is a highly configurable and affordable hardware automation platform. Its flexibility is based on miniature hardware modules that implement specific I/O features, allowing you to build a custom PLC or an Industrial IoT gateway.
The "brain" of LAPS is a fully functional AggreGate Server. Having AggreGate as a core runtime environment allows LAPS to inherit its advanced technology features related to data acquisition, storage, processing, visualization, and integration into higher-level systems, such as SCADA or BMS.
When AggreGate runs embedded into LAPS, it gets full control of all expansion modules, including DI/DO, ADC/DAC, relays, RS232/422/485 ports, GPRS modems, Wi-Fi modules, CAN bus, SPI/I2C ports, sensors, LEDs, buttons, IR transceivers, Wiegand and clock/data inputs, 3-axis accelerometers, potentiometers, RTC + NVRAM, SD card slots, and more.
AggreGate Linux-Based Modular IoT Gateway
LTPP3 is a Linux-based AggreGate Project System (LAPS) board with Ethernet, as well as optional Wi-Fi and GPRS connectivity. The board is based on a powerful 1GHz Cortex-A8 Sitara CPU and has four UARTs, as well as two CAN controllers.
The LTPP3 is ideal for applications that require no onboard human-machine interface (HMI) while calling for a significant number of I/O lines and/or functions. Offering 7 tiles for a total of 14 module and 14 connector sockets, the LTPP3 can be used to construct devices with up to 25 relays, or up to 47 opto-inputs, PWM outputs, open-collector outputs, or other I/O.
The product can be used as a bare board or assembled into a size 3 AggreGate Project Box (APB3).
The LTPP3 is supported by our Online Configurator, allowing you to define and order a custom APS device with modules and options of your choice.
