The KPanel S is designed for continuous use in industrial environments and combines a robust build with modern computing power. Depending on the requirements, it is available in a range of configurations, from efficient Intel Atom® processors to powerful Intel® Core™ CPUs, enabling computationally intensive visualizations to run in parallel with complex background processes.
The new 21.5" screen offers brilliant image quality and maintains excellent readability even in challenging lighting conditions thanks to its anti-glare and fingerprint-resistant surface. The PCAP touchscreen supports up to 10 touch points, allows for use with gloves, and minimizes accidental input through palm and drop detection. The hardened glass meets IK06 protection class standards and is designed for continuous industrial use, even under demanding conditions.
Like all variants in the KPanel S series, the new 21.5" version features full IP65 protection. Its enclosed metal chassis with passive cooling enables maintenance-free operation, a long lifespan, and high system availability. It is compatible with various mounting brackets, with I/O access via a hinged rear cover and a dual cable strain relief system.
An expansion unit can be optionally integrated for specific workstation configurations, incorporating switches, indicators, RFID modules, or emergency stop buttons.
The KPanel S-AML/ADN offers an attractive price/performance ratio with Intel Atom® x7000RE, Intel® Core™ i3 N, and Intel® N processors. For high-performance applications, the KPanel S-RPL is available with 13th generation Intel® Core™ processors.
Equipped with DDR5 memory, up to 1 TB M.2 SSDs (optional RAID 0/1), and an optional CF slot, these Panel PCs meet demanding storage requirements. They also support communications. wireless via WiFi 6 and Bluetooth.
The series includes two DisplayPorts, two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and four USB ports (two USB 3.2). On the KPanel S-AML/ADN model, one is USB-C. Optionally, a front USB port with IP65 protection and a power button with status LED can be added.
The completely flat, scratch-resistant design prevents dirt buildup and facilitates cleaning, a key feature in industrial production. The new 21.5" version expands the portfolio with a particularly clear HMI solution for demanding applications.
All KPanel S systems are based on 3.5" Kontron SBCs, facilitating the reuse of existing software and reducing maintenance costs.
Optionally, the QIWI toolkit allows the Panel PCs to be operated as intuitive web panels. Additionally, KontronOS, a hardened Linux®-based operating system for more demanding cybersecurity requirements, is available. A maintenance-free CMOS battery solution is also offered for RTC applications or extended temperature environments.
