An Intel® 300 desktop processor is also available for less demanding applications. A new mechanical design focused on flexibility and cost-effectiveness allows for easy integration into customer-specific systems and devices, such as modern control consoles or complex laboratory and diagnostic equipment.

The industrial-grade KBox B-203-RPL and KBox B-204-RPL systems have been specifically designed for high-performance applications in an industrial environment. At the heart of these industrial PCs, alongside the Intel® 300 series processor, are high-performance 14th generation Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7/i9 processors with up to 24 cores (8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores), based on the Intel® Hybrid Performance Architecture. These processors are characterized by impressive computing power and thus form the foundation for demanding real-time applications, machine learning, or big data processing.

However, the Kontron KBox B series impresses not only with its high computing power but also with its versatile expandability, compact design, and low noise level ("silent operation"). This is made possible by a special cooling concept developed by Kontron, which allows powerful desktop CPUs to operate at an extremely low noise level.

For mass storage, fast NVMe SSDs of up to 4 TB are used. The KBox B-204-RPL also offers an easily accessible drive bay, allowing for the integration of a 2.5-inch SSD and a 3.5-inch HDD or two M.2 SSDs (RAID 1), enabling a maximum storage expansion of up to 20 TB.

For greater flexibility, the KBox B-204-RPL offers one or two PCIe slots (1x PCIe x16 or 2x PCIe x8). This allows for the integration of network cards up to 10 GbE or PCIe graphics cards.

With two GbE ports, including one supporting up to 2.5 GbE, and ten USB ports (including USB-C), the KBox B-203-RPL and KBox B-204-RPL ensure high-performance data throughput and connectivity. Both systems also feature four DisplayPorts and a serial interface, and with an input voltage of 24 VDC or 230 VAC, they are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Fast wireless connections are also possible via Wi-Fi 6.

The new industrial PCs are versatile and space-saving thanks to their compact design and diverse mounting options. Customized adaptations can be implemented quickly and without design risk thanks to the modular design.
