The IoT gateway for easy integration of data interfaces in production
Are you looking for a reliable solution to easily connect your machines and equipment? The Kontron susietec®® Connect IoT bundle offers exactly that: an optimized combination of the KBox A-250 Box PC and FabEagle®Connect integration software. This is how you can integrate data interfaces quickly and easily.
Thanks to the low code configuration dialogs, you can get started in no time. After just a short period of training, you will be able to configure standardized interfaces for your IoT applications. With a certain level of expertise, you can also develop your own components for additional logic or data transformation for individual requirements that go beyond the standard.
Whether you use standard protocols or prefer an open framework, the Connect IoT bundle gives you every opportunity you need to bring your digital manufacturing projects to life.

Low-code integration: configuring data interfaces instead of programming them
FabEagle®Connect is a powerful interface integration solution. With reusable components and guided configuration dialogs, you can create functional interface configurations in the shortest possible time. The software is based on a modular principle with prepared components. Each component takes on a specific task, be it the implementation of an interface protocol or the conversion of message types and structures or the free programming of individual components with C# code.
By combining these components correctly, you can efficiently connect data sources and sinks and translate between protocols. This flexible architecture makes it easy for you to get started with standard applications and at the same time allows you to implement complex solutions for special requirements. This means you are ideally positioned for the growing challenges of your production.
Data interfaces in production
FabEagle®Connect offers you complete standardization of the integration level between store floor and IT systems – all in a single solution. This considerably simplifies the integration and maintenance of a wide variety of interfaces. Even if your company uses specific systems with non-standardized interfaces, FabEagle®Connect supports you with freely programmable code components to seamlessly connect your special solutions.
Data interfaces in production In addition to the interface protocols, IT infrastructure and data architecture are also crucial to your success in digitalization. The multitude of these requirements can make it difficult to introduce new solutions during ongoing operations or to integrate them into existing software. That‘s why we not only offer you the FabEagle®Connect low-code integration solution, but also support from experienced teams of experts in the areas of interface integration and data architecture for your integration projects. This allows you to concentrate fully on your core business while we take care of the technical integration for you.
Gateway integration on the machine
Based on a pITX 2.5” SBC with Intel Atom® processors from the E3900 series, the fanless KBox A-250 was developed as a cost-optimized gateway for IoT edge applications. The main areas of application are in industrial automation.
The compact KBox A-250 off ers you numerous interfaces for networking your various communication levels. A serial interface (RS232) is available for local data acquisition and the connection of sensors or machines. If you want to connect your IT environment, you can use the integrated Gigabit Ethernet interfaces or add the optional WiFi support. A GPIO interface off ers additional application possibilities. The KBox A-250 also supports wireless technologies such as LTE (4G) and GSM (2G/3G). An integrated LTE module can be added if required to increase connectivity even further.
