Kontron's industrial platforms offer more
than just one solution
Industrial Computer Platforms (ICP) are playing an increasing
critical role in today’s industrial automation landscape. They
are the central component to the control, interaction and connection of either the machine or process. An ICP provides similar functionality as Box PC’s or Industrial PC’s. As a global leader of embedded computer technology, Kontron works closely
with customers to define new standards in industrial computing.
The last area of innovation is to ensure that ICP’s are
“Internet of Things (IoT) ready”. Kontron’s latest ICP’s have
multiple connectivity possibilities. They can act solely as a
gateway or combine for example motion control, human machine functionality and IoT gateway in one platform.
Kontron is working with an extensive network of partners and
other suppliers to ensure that the ICP’s are qualified on different IoT platforms.
Kontron focused their innovation around
three major topics:
Modified Standard (MoSt)
Silicon innovation with “Forever Young”
Kontron believes that a range of standard products is required
as every company or application has an individual need.
Kontron’s modular embedded computer designs bring new
meaning to innovation. As the leader when it comes to standards like SMARC and ComExpress Kontron ensures that it is an
early adaptor for the latest processor technology. This unique
position is used for building the Kontron Industrial Computer
Platforms. All new models are based on a modular design based
on either SMARC or ComExpress.
This concept provides some advantages:
» Break the CPU obsolescence barrier, easy upgradeable with
the latest processor technology. The interfaces and the mechanical parts remain untouched while upgrading the core
technology by replacing the module.
» Unlimited scalability, by just replacing the core “PC” technology with another module the whole system is adjusted to the
requirements.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership with “Wartungsfrei”
“Wartungsfrei” is not a feature but a way of thinking as Kontron
designs ICP’s. What can be improved to reduce the Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO). This starts simply as a battery free or fanless
design but ends beyond how can we build in remote diagnostics
or self-healing capabilities.
With the MoSt services, Kontron offers the unique combination
of leveraging a standard but modified to your individual needs.
Some advantages:
» Rapid prototyping and application testing
» Fast time to market, ground up custom design not required.
» Individual look and feel; corporate identity, special features
Kontron MoSt specialists work with customers to design individual solutions.
Kontrons “Maintenance Free” or “Wartungsfrei” covers different design features which reduce the the “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO) of computer boards or systems used in an industrial, medical or retail environment. Based on the required feature
set or performance there are different levels of “Wartungsfrei”
defined. It is the focus of Kontron to maximise the level of
“Wartungsfrei” in all products.
No moving parts
Remote system diagnostics
» No internal or external fan is required to cool the unit in
order to operate at the designed CPU frequency with 100 %
CPU load within the specified environmental temperature,
without impacting the life cycle of the used components.
» The KBox family provides the capabilities to remotely
monitor all critical parameters. The system is capable to run
at a defined time schedule system diagnostics and automatically provide a status report. Alarms are automatically generated in case of a pre-warning.
» The option to operate the unit without the need of rotating
storage media such as HDD’s. Instead storage options such as
SSD’s or CFasts will be used.
No battery required
All maintenance free KBox IPC’s are able to operate without the
use of a battery.
» The “real-time” clock is able to operate for a minimal period
of 40 days without the use of an external power source.
During these 40 days the real-time clock continues normal
operation and all semi static information like BIOS-settings
are always stored in a non-volatile memory and remain available even after this period is over.
» Optional data can be stored in non-volatile memory without
the use of a battery and an external power source.
Hold up
» In case of an external power failure a hold up time should be
available of at least 10ms to ensure a secure power off operation.
» Manageability features via Embedded Web Server (such as remote control, System Event Log viewer, firmware upgrade).
» Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) hardware
monitors power, voltages, memory and all critical components’ temperatures. Extensive sensors monitoring (around
100 IPMI sensors) and event generation base on thresholds
and discrete reading.
Remote save software update
» Robust BIOS remote flash update with rollover capability;
Fail-safe field updateable BIOS.
Rescue Button (RSQ) Operation
» In the event the system does not properly start-up or gets
hung-up and restarting (cold booting) the system does not
help, it is possible to switch to a backup boot flash and then
restart the system.
Power On/Off options
» The system design allows the system to power on automatically after loss of power.

The IEEE 1588 Standard
Modified Standard (MoST)
Internet of Things (IoT)
Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
Tailor made solutions based on Kontron proven standard
portfolio and building blocks.
Simply connected
The IEEE 1588 Standard or Precision Time Protocol (PTP) defines a method to synchronize distributed real time clocks in
a packet-based network. By using this protocol it is even possible to synchronize with an accuracy of less than one microsecond.
Just take the proven and tested standard system building
blocks, add your demanded features, and get your ready to go
application ready platform.
Based on our partner network, Kontron offers a unique combination of technologies. Using Kontron hardware and skilled
developers, our IoT offerings range from connectivity to the
units in field, network components, integration to existing
ERP / CRM systems, server products and even solutions for
cloud storage or big data analyses.
Industrial control systems require increasing levels of synchronization and accuracy, in applications such as robotics
or machine-tools the drive synchronization has to be highly
precise.
PTPs high accuracy and best performance is enabled using a
hardware that offers hardware-based time stamping. Previously special and expensive FPGA implementations were used and
now Ethernet controllers such as the Intel® I210 LAN controller support this functionality. To enable cost-effective solutions with optimized performance, Kontron’s entire Embedded
Box PC Family utilizes the Intel I210 LAN controller.
» No NRE
» Fast time to market
» Reduced TCO
» Proven building blocks
» No risk on design
» Fast demo units / EFT
» 4 weeks from idea to first demo unit
Go for IoT
To offer you the best-in-class combination
we provide ready-made solutions for:
Kontron designs all main parts like BIOS, HW, Firmware,
Mechanics, Middleware. With our expertise any modification
on the Kontron standard portfolio can be done easily and
quickly based on Kontrons available building blocks.
to the customer.
On top of that the precise timing also provides a solid basis
for real time Industrial Ethernet. Therefore also industrial field
busses such as Profinet, Powerlink or also Ethernet/IP rely on
the functionality the IEEE1588 standard offers.

Software Services
Beyond hardware, Kontron offers a wide range of software
development and services. Matching Board Support Package
(BSP) are available for most common embedded operating
system and enables the customer to build project-related
application fast and smoothly.
Support for real time operating systems and even custom-specific BSP and driver development for your operating system can
be offered through a strong and experienced software team.
Kontron’s developers have experience in low level programming on major microcontroller, ARM, PowerPC and x86 processor families. The close concurrent engineering of software
and hardware designers, and excellent relationships to partners like Intel®, Freescale, Texas Instruments, Microsoft, and
WindRiver, enable Kontron to develop integer and sound embedded systems. Kontron offers matching bootloader, board
support packes and full operating images. With professional
software service and support, Kontron helps customers bring
their solution to market faster.
Kontron hardware with multi-core CPUs offer great change in
OS virtualization: several operating system running on only
a single physical hardware platform, each having allocated
a CPU core. Visualization with Windows and real-time OS for
mission-critical operation can be realized cost-effectively.
