INTRODUCTION
The MBox-R/V is a very compact Embedded PC based on Intel® Atom™ processor series E3800 (Bay Trail-I) for embedded
applications. The highly reliable hardware in combination with the rugged housing design enables the application in industrial
and harsh environmental conditions.
The MBox-R/V focuses to meet individual configurations depending on customers demand. Functionality and interfaces can
easily be added by internal Mini PCIe cards. Typical applications are embedded server and gateway applications, entry level PC
systems for automation, visualisation and monitoring and all applications, which place high demands on quality, durability and
long-term availability.
The name “MBox-R” refers to the MBox with a “robust” housing. The “MBox-R” comes in one height with or without serial ports.
The name “MBox-V” refers to the MBox with a “variable” housing. The “MBox-V” is available in two different heights, with serial
ports (higher housing) or without serial ports (lower housing).
