Kontron adds more options and flexibility to cost-optimized MicroTCA.1 integrated platform
At the SPS/IPC/DRIVES in Nuremberg Kontron introduces the next step in rugged MicroTCA platforms. The cost-optimized Kontron OM6062 MicroTCA.1 integrated platform is now available in a pre-validated configuration with the new MicroTCA.1-compliant Kontron AM5901 MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH), and Kontron AM5500 storage modules.
EquiThe Kontron OM6062 supports hot-swappable mid-sized AdvancedMCs with single-width and double-width form factors. In its basic configuration, the Kontron OM6062 features an AC power supply unit, so no extra AC/DC converters are needed. The new, integrated double-width MCH extends the configuration to be addressed with MicroTCA platforms. Kontron's latest MicroTCA.1 platform can be extended with the Kontron AM5010 dual-core processor board, which features sophisticated graphics and SATA HDD on board. The Kontron OM6062 can be shipped fully configured and tested, including a pre-installed operating system (Windows, Red Hat Linux or WindRiver VxWorks).
