At the SPS/IPC/Drives trade fair, Kontron announced the launch of a new control cabinet IPC product family for automation. The new Kontron KBox IPCs have been designed for industrial control applications and offer outstanding scalability from entry to high-end level. All four new systems feature an industrial-grade design for common control cabinet installations, are available long-term and can be fitted with industrial I/Os, fieldbuses and/or Industrial Ethernet interfaces to meet individual requirements. Owing to the modular construction with Kontron standard components, the processor portfolio is highly scalable for individual design requirements and at all times up-to-date. Suppliers of automation equipment and OEM customers in machinery and plant engineering thus profit from particularly efficient customization options based on standardized building blocks.
Norbert Hauser, Head of Business Line Industrial Automation, on the customer benefits of the new product family: "Industrial box PCs in automation applications carry out a wide range of tasks. In the majority of cases, however, they are installed in control cabinets and in machine and plant components. Kontron has always supplied a wide range of products for these installation scenarios. Under the KBox brand, we are now bundling our control cabinet IPC product portfolio in order to achieve a uniform industrial box PC identity and look & feel. We are also extending the family to specifically target automation applications. This will further strengthen our position as one of the world’s leading industrial PC manufacturers."
