ARDIN - Arduino in a DIN enclosure
Dantheman:
We have made an Arduino in a DIN enclosure.
Please let us know what you think about this project.
This is the first version (T1) with the goal to make it affordable.
T2 will have better specs like 24V in and outputs but this will increase the price a little.
Ideas and suggestions are always welcome!

I see the concept of electrically/mechanically robust boards and the like on many products, while being "Arduino compatible".
But I don't get the Arduino part here. As a a firmware engineer myself, I would never run my production facility on an Arduino based firmware, just by considering the limitations the Arduino environment puts on me on debugging, the IDE, the code organization and the architecture ofthe Arduino framework. Plus all the safety related on how writing firmware, is just not there.
Sketching and running on not-safety relevant and hobby applications is ok for Arduino environment. Arduino is not an Atmega328 board.
Since I would use such board only WITHOUT any Arduino code on it, as the purpose seems to be an industrial controller and not a tinker thing, why calling it Arduino if not just for marketing?

I completely agree that Arduino as such or DIN-mount module with "naked" PCB is far from "industrial grade", yet DIN rail/enclosure does not automagically mean "industrial". I think this product may find it's use in many "maker" or DIY builds.

flip the board so the components are inside the case

That perspective makes more sense. But the product is called "Industrial Arduino", not just "DIL mounted Arduino"
