RevolutionPi DigitalIO Module

Integrates the Kunbus RevolutionPi DigitalIO enhancement board into OpenEMS for digital input and output control with 14 independent digital input and 14 independent digital output channels.

Overview

This bundle provides integration for the Kunbus RevolutionPi DigitalIO enhancement board, a hardware module that extends the RevolutionPi platform with additional digital I/O capabilities. The component provides 14 digital input channels for reading digital signals and 14 digital output channels for controlling digital devices.

The DigitalIO board communicates directly with the RevolutionPi system using the native librevpi-dio library, providing efficient low-latency access to hardware channels. The integration enables real-time digital signal processing for industrial control and automation applications.

All digital I/O channels are managed through standard OpenEMS channel interfaces, allowing integration with controllers, monitoring systems, and automation logic. The component supports initialization of output states from hardware during startup for safety and consistency.
