KBox A-251-AML/ADN

The KBox A-251-AML/ADN is characterized by a particularly compact design, powerful processors and exceptional flexibility. Thanks to the space-saving system design of just 137 x 50 x 95 mm, the device is ideal for applications where space is at a premium without having to compromise on performance. At the heart of the PC are the latest generation Intel Atom® x7000RE processors, Intel® N97 or Core™ i3-N305 processors, which are characterized by high energy efficiency and impressive computing powerand thus create the basis for real-time applications, machine learning or the processing of large amounts of data.

The special feature of this industrial PC is the so called “IO door” on the left-hand side of the system, which can be used to offer a variety of additional interfaces. For example, serial or LAN ports, fieldbuses or even digital IOs can be added as required and made available to the customer.

On the system front the KBox A-251-AML/ADN offers a DisplayPort and two 2.5GbE interfaces as well as three USB 3.2 ports, including a USB-C port, and a serial RS232 serial interface. Via the two internal M.2 expansion slots, the KBox A-251-AML/ADN can be expanded with a wide range of functionalities, for example to integrate SSDs, fieldbuses and LAN ports, as well as wireless technologies such as 4G/5G or Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.

The fanless, robust system design guarantees an extended service life and high system availability, even in harsh industrial environments. The KBox A-251-AML/ADN can be operated in the range from 0 °C to +60 °C or optionally also in the extended temperature range between -40 °C and +60 °C.
