Kontron CB 511/CB 753 embedded box PCs

Kontron has announced two robust and fanless embedded box PCs that feature a range of industrial interfaces, the ultra-compact embedded box PC CB 511 and the embedded box PC CB 753.

The PC CB 511 has been developed to operate in especially tough environmental conditions and is equipped with an Intel Atom N270, has good energy efficiency and is designed for the extended temperature range of -15 to +60°C.

The CB 753 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor offers a compact construction with a high level of performance. It features two PCI slots and a PCI Express mini card slot for flexible configuration, making it suitable for a wide range of OEM applications which could previous only be addressed by 2U servers.

The devices offer long-term availability and reliability. With an extensive range of industrial interfaces, they can be integrated into a broad range of OEM applications in the fields of automation, digital signage, gaming and infotainment.

If rotation-free, flash-based storage media are used, the operating noise is 0 db, which makes the box PCs suitable for noise-sensitive applications in medicine where equipment is close to patients. The mean time between failures has been specified at about 50,000 h.

The CB 511 has the 1.6 GHz Intel 945GSE embedded chipset and up to 2 GB of DDR2-RAM. The standard version of the CB 511 comes with the following range of industrial interfaces; 1x RS232, 2x GB LAN, 4x USB and VGA. Optionally, it can be equipped with 1x e-SATA, 1x DVI-D, 1x RS232 and Wi-Fi. If required, it can also be extended with a Mini PCI Express extension slot and a CF socket for data storage.

The CB 753 offers high performance for data-intensive applications with an Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile P8400 processor with 2.26 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB and up to 8 GB of DDR3-RAM.
