EM2000

EM2000 Programmable IIoT Module

The EM2000 is a full-featured Tibbo BASIC/C-programmable Industrial IoT Module with four UARTs and Ethernet, as well as optional Wi-Fi*, BLE** (Bluetooth Low Energy), and cellular*** connectivity. The module offers substantial speed and functionality improvements over its predecessor — the original EM1000 device.

The module runs Tibbo OS (TiOS), our highly reliable operating system that achieves exceptional stability thanks to radical OS structure simplification, static memory allocation, full ownership and meticulous curation of the code base, as well as complete sandboxing of the user’s application.

The device’s capabilities are further enhanced by the onboard flash memory hosting a hardened fault-tolerant file system, as well as the EEPROM and RTC.

The EM2000 has 56 general-purpose I/O lines and can control an externally attached LCD, keypad, buzzer, card readers, serial devices, and other circuitry. Device pins have the standard 2.54mm (100mil) pitch. This makes the module ideal for use not only in production devices but also for prototyping.

Module testing and evaluation can be performed on the EM2000EV board. The EM2001 board, a close relative of the EM2000, is also available.

The EM2000’s unbeatable combination of robust, field-proven hardware and a highly streamlined OS results in an IIoT module facilitating the creation of “install-and-forget” products for mission-critical industrial applications that “just work.” Meanwhile, the simplicity of Tibbo BASIC/C — aided by the Cody code generator and Tibbo IDE software — ensures timely and cost-effective development of stable, dependable applications.

* Requires the WA2000 add-on, which can be connected externally or piggybacked on top of the EM2000. Using the WA2000 also makes possible over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates for the EM2000.

EM2000 is Supported by Cody, the Template Project Generator

Cody is a template project generator that produces working Tibbo BASIC code from the information you provide via a few simple-to-understand configuration screens.

This web-based app allows you to quickly create a working project that contains proper peripheral, port, and socket initialization. With Cody, you can also swiftly pour in huge chunks of your future product’s functionality: persistent storage of parameters (setting), data tables, multi-level onscreen setup menus, and much much more.

No less important is that Cody generates a template project with the right structure. Software developers know that all programming platforms have (a few) right and (many) wrong ways to structure the code and get things done. Choosing the wrong path usually makes the code slow, inefficient, and unreliable. Cody prevents you from getting lost by giving you the right scaffolding for your project.
