RUGGED DESIGN FOR EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
The Karbon 523 features a passively cooled, fanless design and a low-profile form factor optimized for DIN, Wall, VESA, and even rack mounting, making it suitable for space-constrained and dynamic industrial settings. It is built to withstand continuous vibration and shock (MIL-STD-810H), ensuring reliable performance in mobile or high-impact applications. The system has an industry-leading operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. It is UL, RoHS, FCC, and CE certified, and has undergone extensive Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing for industrial, medical (60601-1-2), in-vehicle, rail, and maritime applications. Crucially, the Karbon 523 also features automotive power input with programmable ignition timing (12-48 VDC, 5-pin Terminal Block), making it ideal for direct integration into vehicles and mobile platforms requiring both extreme durability and customizable connectivity.
UNRIVALED I/O FLEXIBILITY & WITH MODBAY
The Karbon 523 distinguishes itself with two ModBay expansion bays, providing exceptional flexibility to integrate a variety of additional I/O and functionality as needed, such as 10 GbE LAN, PoE, M12, or additional USB. The front panel includes 4x 2.5 GbE LAN, 6x USB 3.2 ports, and 2x USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 ports. The side panel provides 2x Display Ports, as well as a range of optional connectivity including 4x COM ports (RS232/422/485), CAN, and DIO.
