Monarco HAT.
Industrial grade I/O board for the Raspberry Pi
Mount your Raspberry Pi on a DIN-rail and interface with industrial sensors and devices directly. (I)IoT and Industry 4.0 ready, from prototype to professional product or solution.
Monitoring, archiving and control
The Monarco HAT is known to bring the best price to performance ratio in the following application areas:
- Data acquisition (DAQ), data logging
- Monitoring of machines and processes
- Collecting data from legacy PLCs
- (I)IoT gateway for legacy systems
- Communication gateway (e.g. Modbus RTU/TCP, Modbus/MQTT, etc.)
- Universal PLC for non-critical applications
The Monarco HAT has become an integral part of my toolbox for troubleshooting purposes in renewable energy and oil&gas automation. It gives me more freedom and possibilities than other way more expensive data loggers.

Developing solutions with the Monarco HAT
It's the software which brings any hardware device to life. Use the Monarco HAT with the software platform of your choice.
Professional software
Our first choice for programming is REXYGEN, a family of software products for projects in automation, robotics, data acquisition, process control and feedback control in general.
REXYGEN offers a graphical development environment for programming the algorithms. You can use standard desktop or laptop PC. You create the algorithms from the so-called function blocks. The library includes countless items (timers, comparators, filters, PID controllers and many more).
Open source
We understand the value of open source software and freedom of choice.
- Open source library for the C language
- Open source library for Node.js
- Open source library for Node-RED
- Complete documentation of the interface so that anyone can develop libraries for additional frameworks and languages (Python, C#, etc.)
GitHub repository
All the above mentioned Monarco HAT resources are available in public GitHub repository.
3rd party integrations
