CB 752 embedded box PC
Kontron has announced that its CB 752 embedded box PC is now available for ambient temperatures from -15C to +60C for applications in transportation, automation, digital signage and more.
The electronics are equipped with particularly robust specified components and the whole system was fully tested in the climate chamber.
The improved temperature tolerance makes the compact Kontron embedded box PC CB 752 suitable for medical and point of sale applications, as well as in other unheated and non-air conditioned work environments that do not necessarily require the industrial temperature range (E2) -40C to +85C.
The CB 752 uses Intel Atom N270 processor technology and low-cost chipset.
It features a fan-less design in a rugged aluminium chassis for extremely high mean-time between failures (MTBF) specified at approximately 100,000 hours, which corresponds to continuous operation of about 11 years (24/7).
In addition to standard PC interfaces, the Kontron embedded box PC CB 752 offers interfaces such as RS232, RS422/485, digital I/Os, an optional CAN interface and two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
For wireless communication, the box PC is also available with an optional wireless LAN.
Custom extensions are also possible via a Mini PCI Express slot.
The Kontron CB752 measures 75 x 250 x 160mm and offers two Gbit LAN, four USB 2.0, two RS232, VGA and optional DVI, one CAN bus and RS422/485 on the front housing.
On the back side, the box PC features two USB 2.0 ports and is HD audio ready.
The embedded box PC optionally integrates a WLAN with two rear-facing antennas and non-volatile NVRAM.
The embedded box PC with 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 and 533 MHz FSB supports up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM.
For data storage, a bay is available for a shock mounted 2.5in Sata HDD or SDD and a CF socket.
The Kontron embedded box PC CB 752 is CE certified, UL suitable and is available now.
Supported operating systems include Linux, Microsoft Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded and Windows CE 6.0.
