Power supply section
There are two ways to provide the power supply to the CM3-PANEL-7-POE.
- Through the Power Over Ethernet connector (Up to 48 VDC. Mode A and Mode B are supported)
- Through the separate power-in connector (from 12VDC to 48 VDC)
On board buttons
- A cold reset button (P1)
- A Shutdown and Restart button (P2)
Serial debug port interface
The debug port works also without active network but it needs to be activated adding this line in /boot/config.txt file:
enable_uart=1
and adding this line in /boot/cmdline.txt file:
console=serial1,115200
The default serial speed is 115200,N,8,1. The signal levels are at 3.3 Volt.
An USB to 3V3 serial converter is requested to link this port to your computer.
As serial terminal software it can be used:
RS232 - RS485 - RS422 serial port
The physical interface used is a Max Linear SP335 IC that can be configured alternatively via dip-switch as:
- RS232 port at ±12 volt
- RS485 half duplex
- RS422 full duplex
GPIO Lines
On these pins are also available the power supply lines at 5VDC and 3.3VDC. The signals level of any logic line is 3.3 volt. Don't plug boards with 5 volt line voltage to avoid damage to the Raspberry Pi CM3 module.

Relay
Power safe supervisor
A Microchip ATTiny88 microprocessor is mounted on the CM3-Panel-7-POE to monitor and manage the power supply and power safe circuitry.
This chip performs many management tasks including:
- Power state monitoring
- Charge state of Supercap
- Raspberry wake-up after a touch event
For the first factory default firmware programming a ICSP port is available. After that the ATTiny firmware can be changed directly by the Raspberry Pi module.

Introduzione alla CM3-Panel 7 POE (only in Italian sorry...)
Mercoledì 31 Marzo 2021 – Ore 21:30
Officine Robotiche (https://www.officinerobotiche.it/) ha organizzato
un evento in live streaming su Youtube dove:
- Amedeo Asquini (progettazione hardware)
- Roberto Asquini (progettazione hardware)
- Mauro Tocci (progettazione firmware)
- Sergio Tanzilli (definizione delle specifiche del prodotto)
hanno presentato la nuova CM3-Panel 7 POE. Il Panel PC Power Over Ethernet basato su Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ disegnato per applicazioni di domotica e automazione industriale.
