qCape-iCOM

Description

The qinno iCOM extension module is a CAPE specifically designed for the Beagle Bone Black (BBB). The iCOM provides different interfaces and digital I/O for direct usage in industrial environment. The iCOM cape can be fed with a variable input voltage from 12V DC up to 45V DC. It provides a regulated 5V output voltage for power supply of the Beaglebone, and potentially other capes.

Designed and manufactured in Germany by company qinno www.qinno.de, custom specific variants can be offered.
