Kontron Embedded Box PC CB 752 with Intel Atom N270 Processor now available for extended ambient temperatures
Eching/Nuremberg, Germany, August 12, 2010 – The Kontron Embedded Box PC CB 752, introduced by Kontron in November 2009, is now available for ambient temperatures from -15 °C to +60 °C. The electronics are equipped with particularly robust specified components and the whole system was fully tested in the climate chamber. Customers benefit from improved reliability in a wider range of harsh environments thanks to the expanded capabilities of the Kontron CB 752.
The improved temperature tolerance makes the compact
Kontron Embedded Box PC CB 752 suitable for particularly demanding
applications in transportation, automation, medical, POS and digital signage, as
well as in many other unheated and non air-conditioned work environments that do
not necessarily require the industrial temperature range (E2) -40°C to +85°C.
Applications where the temperature range -15°C to +60°C is sufficient benefit
from the extensively tested, cost effective and validated long-term available
system design with high security. The use of the Intel Atom N270 processor
technology and low-cost chipset makes the Box PC very attractive with regard to
price, compared to systems with full E2 approval.
The energy-efficient Kontron Embedded Box PC CB 752 features a fan less
design in a rugged aluminum chassis for extremely high MTBF (Mean Time Between
Failures) 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 industry-standard
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.
