The new generation of Kontron's high-end industrial computers in Box PC format, the KBox C-104-TGL family is based on the 11th generation Intel® Core™ or Intel® Xeon® W processors, improves determinism in Industry 4.0 environments with integrated TSN and Intel® Time Coordinated Computing (Intel® TCC) functionality, and enables various real-time applications. The CPUs used have up to eight processing cores and are especially suited for demanding edge workloads and high-end applications with high bandwidth.
All systems of the KBox C-104-TGL family are specially designed for use in control cabinets in the automation environment. In this context, the KBox C-104-TGL serves as a universal platform for various applications such as machine control, inspection and AI-based vision applications, optionally also with additionally integrated Hailo-8™ AI accelerator. By means of the optional NVRAM module as well as the integration of fieldbus extensions, it can also be used as a soft PLC platform. The four 2.5GbE interfaces with TSN functionality can also support time-critical, control-relevant tasks and thus also meet future real-time requirements in the smart factory.
The maintenance-free system enables fanless operation up to +65 degrees Celsius; the Goldcap equipment and optional redundant power supplies as well as the recovery functionality guarantee maximum system availability and a long service life.
In addition to up to three display ports and four 2.5GbE interfaces, the four variants of the new KBox C-104-TGL family also feature up to two COM ports incl. RS485 option, three USB 3.0 and three USB 2.0 ports each as well as up to four SATA slots.
