Kontron KBox B-203-RPL Embedded Box PC

The KBox B-203-RPL is a powerful industrial PC based on the mITX motherboard designed and manufactured in Germany, which supports 14th generation Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7/i9 processors. This enables performance-hungry applications such as high-end image processing, artificial intelligence or machine learning to be realised. An Intel® 300 desktop processor is also available for less demanding applications. A new mechanical concept focussing on flexibility and cost-effectiveness enables easy integration into customer-specific systems and devices, such as modern control consoles or complex laboratory and diagnostic equipment.

 

The industrial-grade KBox B-203-RPL has been specially designed for performance-hungry applications in an industrial environment. At the heart of the industrial PC, alongside the Intel® 300 processor, are the high-performance Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7/i9 processors of the 14th generation with up to 24 cores (8-Performance Cores and 16-Efficient Cores), which are based on the Intel® Performance Hybrid Architecture. These processors are characterized by impressive computing power and thus form the basis for demanding real-time applications, machine learning or the processing of large amounts of data.

 

However, the KBox B series from Kontron not only impresses with its high computing power, but also with its versatile expandability, compact design and low noise level (‘whisper quiet operation’). This is made possible by a special cooling concept developed by Kontron, which allows powerful desktop CPUs to be operated at an extremely low noise level.

 

Fast NVMe SSDs with up to 4 TByte are used for mass storage. With two GbE ports, including one with up to 2.5 GbE, and ten USB ports (including USB-C), the KBox B-203-RPL ensures high data throughput and connectivity. In addition, the system offers four DisplayPorts and a serial interface and, with an input voltage of 24 VDC or 230 VAC, is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Fast wireless connections via WiFi 6 are also possible.

 

The new industrial PC is versatile and space-saving thanks to its compact design and various mounting options. Customized adaptions can be implemented quickly and without design risk thanks to the modular design.
