I want to count rising edges with the RevPi Compact module, is that possible?
Yes, look here:

What is the sampling rate or cycle time of the analogue inputs?
There is a discussion in the forum here, but it is in German
https://revolutionpi.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=2945#p10564
Finally, the sampling rate is one second with piControl.
Higher sampling rates are possible without piControl

I want to read out an analog PNP sensor with Python - how can I do that?

Have a look at the BitMirror example:

Can the digital inputs work as counters?
No, this is not an integrated function of the RevPi Compact.
Can the digital outputs be used for PWM?
No, this is not an integrated function of the RevPi Compact.
When I look at the /var/log/kern.log, i am seeing a flood of messages "piControl i/o: missed xx cycles". Why is this error? How can we stop this error?

I want to connect RS485 to PLC by I/O RS485 at Pin P and N (not USB) , What I have to do?
Have a look at our tutorial

There are two different supply voltages - device and IO channels. Is there a sequence to be observed?
No, the sequence does not matter. However, external devices should only be connected in a de-energized state and checked for correct wiring before commissioning to avoid destruction.
Digital Inputs and Outputs (Compact) - Industrial Raspberry Pi
I want to set a GPIO pin high and I don't use piControl. Why does the pin always go low?
The digital outputs are equipped with a watchdog. A watchdog is a component that monitors the functioning of other components in a system. In this case the digital outputs must be rewritten at least every 9 milliseconds. If this does not happen, the watchdog sets the digital outputs to “low” to establish a safe state! As the system might have crashed.
There is an undocumented interface on the RevPi Compact, can this be?
The HDMI interface is present but is not considered a warranted capability, therefore we do not warrant or support the HDMI interface.
Can the RevPi Compact be expanded, e.g. with I/O modules?
No, the RevPi Compact is not expandable.
Can the RevPi Compact handle measurements of negative Voltages?
No, the range is 0 - 10 V.
