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.

Equipped with the AdvancedMC module Kontron AM5010, the OM6062 is Kontron’s first fully-MicroTCA.1-compliant platform, and also supports any standards-compliant AdvancedMC modules. Compared to conventional MicroTCA platforms, customers benefit from greater robustness and higher shock and vibration resistance, as well as improved cost-efficiency due to the simplified design. Furthermore, the Kontron OM6062’s double-width form factor adds more PCB space and front panel space for additional features on a single AdvancedMC. Target applications include, but are not limited to: image processing, data processing, motion control, and process control, as well as test and measurement in markets such as medical, energy, industrial automation, and telecommunications.

The 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).
