Visitors of embedded world 2018 can learn more about how Kontron, together with the S&T group, supports companies in their digitization and IoT strategies down to the field level with the latest technology, products and services. The trade fair presence’s highlight is a Time Sensitive Networking starter kit. It enables companies to seamlessly connect the field level, operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). The starter kit consists of a KBox C-102 as the industrial computer for the central control through the integrated TSN networking card and the appropriate software.
TSN demonstration with Embedded Cloud components at the booth
Kontron presents a Embedded Cloud live demo based on a TSN system and OPC UA connected to various IoT and TSN devices such as an Embedded server at embedded world.
The TSN specification guarantees the timely, high-availability delivery of data packets. In industrial environments, such as machine control applications in production,
convergent, Ethernet-based TSN with guaranteed latency and Quality of Service (QoS) with time synchronization can replace proprietary fieldbus systems and seamlessly communicate through to the IT layer. This makes real IIoT or Industry 4.0 based on Ethernet protocol standards possible.
Embedded server with Intel Xeon processor
Tailored for its Embedded Cloud vision and Edge- and Fog computing, Kontron presents its first available Embedded server: the successor of the “Cube” evaluation platform already unveiled with a Single Intel Xeon processor in a compact, cost-optimized design with extended storage functionality.
HMI with touch control for industrial applications
In manufacturing lines and production plants, the trend is towards touch controlled visual user interfaces to control machines and systems. To withstand the rough conditions in industrial settings, Kontron offers two product families of industrial-suited HMI: FusionClient and FlatClient. Both families are on display at embedded world, equipped with the latest generation of Intel® CoreT i7 processors.
New IOT gateways based on Single-Board-Computer (SBC)
The latest KBox A-250 based on a PicoITX-2.5″-SBC comes equipped with the latest Intel Atom® processors. Its favorable price makes it especially well-suited for use as an entry IoT gateway and at low interface demand.
New from Kontron: Computer-on-modules with Q7 form factor
At embedded world Kontron will present for the first time ever, Computer-on-modules with a Q7 form factor, which be will offered alongside the COM Express® and SMARC 2.0T form factors going forward. These modules are already available with NXP i.MX and Intel Atom processors for SMARC. With its new Q7 form factor products, Kontron addresses customers using products of this format already, opening a migration path to the SMARC 2.0 standard.
