Find out what are the differences between the Unipi Patron and Unipi Axon product lines.
Unipi Patron and Unipi Axon product lines represent compact and powerful controllers suitable for a wide range of applications. Both product lines are designed for industrial automation and other demanding environments (photovoltaics, use in SCADA systems etc.). The Patron line is the direct successor to the Axon line, retaining all advantages of its predecessor. Thanks to the new computing module based on the NXP i.MX 8M Mini CPU, the Patron line also features a significantly higher computing power. Both product lines are equipped with an onboard 8GB eMMC memory. On this link, you can also download the comparison in PDF format.
