The default input power for the ED-CM4IND is 12V. The power input range for hardware version V1.4 supports 9V to 36V, while hardware versions V1.1 to V1.3 support a power input range of 9V to 18V. The case is marked with "12V DC," and the connector is a standard 5.5*2.0 DC power socket with the center pin being positive and the outer sleeve negative.

3.1.2 1000M Ethernet

The ED-CM4IND includes one adaptive 10/100/1000M Ethernet interface, with the case marked as "1000M". It is recommended to use a Cat6 (Category 6) Ethernet cable when connecting to the network.

3.1.3 100M Ethernet

The ED-CM4IND includes one adaptive 10/100M Ethernet interface, with the case marked as "10/100M," used for network connectivity.

3.1.4 USB 2.0

The ED-CM4IND includes two USB 2.0 interfaces with Type-A connectors, supporting a maximum transmission rate of 480Mbit/s.

3.1.5 HDMI

The ED-CM4IND is equipped with one standard HDMI interface, featuring a Type-A connector, designed for connecting HDMI displays and supporting 4Kp60 resolution.

3.1.6 Micro SD Card Slot

The ED-CM4IND contains one Micro SD card slot for installing a Micro SD card, enabling system booting from the SD card.

NOTE

The Micro SD card is only required when using the CM4 Lite (without eMMC) core module to boot the system. If a CM4 module with eMMC is selected, the Micro SD card slot is unavailable.

3.1.7 SIM Card Slot

The ED-CM4IND includes one standard SIM card slot, supporting the optional 4G LTE module.

The size differences between a standard SIM card, Micro SIM card, and Nano SIM card are as follows: image-20241223183534043

3.2.2 Buttons

The ED-CM4IND includes two buttons: a Reset button and a User button.

3.2.2.1 RESET Button

The Reset button is a hidden button, marked as "Reset" on the case. Pressing the Reset button will reset the device.

3.2.2.2 User Button

The User button is marked as "User" on the case and is connected to the GPIO6 pin of the CM4 chip. By default, it is in a high-level state. When pressed, the pin goes to a low-level state, supporting user-defined functionality.

3.2.7 Relay

The ED-CM4IND includes one double-pole double-throw (DPDT) relay interface, using a 2.5mm pitch Phoenix terminal. The relay is controlled by the GPIO22 pin, with high and low levels determining its state. By default, it is normally closed (NC), with COM1 and NC1 connected, and COM2 and NC2 connected. When GPIO22 is high, the relay opens, connecting COM1 to NO1 and COM2 to NO2.
