IoT

One of the new challenges arising with the use of edge, fog, and cloud architectures is the connection of components to each other and to the public cloud. An important element of developing a solution capturing all pieces is the IoT framework susietec

At the field, or edge level, data is collected by industrial computers, e.g. by gateways, which process, filter, analyze and act on these data in real-time right at the device.

Edge, fog and cloud applications demand increasing computing power. The interfaces to sensors or machines often require non-standard solutions. Especially in smaller machines, space is limited or restricted in some dimension and need a special solution.

Today, the connection from the sensor device to the embedded cloud takes place via real-time data communication, on sensor and edge level - for example Industrial Ethernet or fieldbuses - and gateways , which provide the transformation of real time data into the informational area.

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.

As a partner for industrial hardware and software, Kontron offers system solutions such as the Connect IoT Bundle, consisting of our compact industrial-grade PC KBox A-251-AML/ADN and the FabEagle®Connect integration software for industrial interfaces. This allows to obtain hardware with pre-installed software ex works to reliably equip small to large series of machines with modern, industrial-grade IoT gateways.

For a secure and scalable IoT infrastructure, Kontron offers the ManagedEdge IoT Bundle - a perfectly coordinated combination of proven hardware, the secure and hardened KontronOS operating system and the powerful KontronGrid IoT device management solution. This complete solution meets the highest cybersecurity requirements through effective application isolation, uninterrupted over-the-air updates and comprehensive device management with secure remote access.
