Industrial HMIs for operating and monitoring

Posted by Saleem Mukati


Kontron announces its second generation of Micro Client industrial HMI: the Kontron Micro Client II. By focussing on intended use as an industrial thin client including touch functionality for operating and monitoring, the company says Kontron Micro Client II provides all the latest features required for thin client oriented HMI applications in a cost-optimised design that includes a modular IP65 protected front panel with touch screen.
The Kontron Micro Clients II can be implemented with SATA, CompactFlash or Ethernet boot functionality. Depending on the application needs, the fanless and scalable Kontron Micro Clients II are equipped with embedded processors ranging from the 500 MHz AMD LX 800 processor up to the 1.0 GHz Intel Celeron processor. The HMIs are available with a resistive touch screen in all prevalent display formats (7, 10.4, 12.1 and 15-in).


The units offer 2 x 10/100 Ethernet, 2 external USB 2.0 ports, 1 x RS232 with optional RS422/RS485, as well as an optional CAN bus interface. They also feature embedded graphics for intuitive GUIs, as well as touch-beep and optional AC97 sound for multi-media oriented operating and monitoring applications including acoustic feedback. The fanless design enables silent operation, reduced maintenance costs and lower total-cost-of-ownership due to the MTBF of over 40,000 hours.
