Product Brief Industrial Computer KCO Series 2U KCO-2000 & 3U KCO-3000 Series of Certification Ready Industrial Computers The world has significantly changed in the past decade, with technology advancing rapidly, digitalizing many of the products and services that we use daily. Industrial computers have been embedded into all types of devices, making them more intelligent than ever before. Making ordinary devices intelligent via embedded computers allows businesses and organizations to deliver better customer service by predicting customers’ needs before they arise, allowing them to act quickly and precisely to address their needs. That said, bringing compute power closer to the source of data generated from sensors and smart devices requires purpose-built computing devices that offer the processing power, rich I/O, connectivity, and reliability required for such deployments. For this reason, we have launched our 2U KCO-2000 and 3U KCO-3000 Series of Certification Ready Industrial Computers ready for mass deployment, easily scalable into final system-level configuration. The KCO-Series delivers blazing-fast performance powered by multi-core Intel 9th Generation Celeron, Pentium, and Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors. The KCO-2000 and KCO-3000 Series of industrial computers are based on Premio’s industrial-grade Micro-ATX motherboard. The micro-ATX size motherboard features the LGA 1151 socket, offering support for Intel’s Q370 chipset, providing better performance, stronger security, and quicker I/O connectivity to peripherals, IoT devices, and PCIe Gen 3 expansions. Furthermore, the KCO-Series is Certification Ready, enabling system integrators and platform builders to achieve a faster time-to-market. These industrial computers hold CE, FCC, and UL Certifications, offering a perfect solution for sub-assembly computer integration and product introductions for enterprise IoT deployments. Key Applications When it comes to applications, the KCO-Series is ideal for deployment for the following applications: interactive kiosk machines, ATMs, security and surveillance, metrology and automation inspection, and mobile medical carts. The KCOSeries is a great option because it comes equipped with extensive USB resources to accommodate the large number of varied peripherals that IoT devices must connect to. IoT peripherals include cameras, barcode scanners, magnetic card readers, RFID card readers, fingerprint scanners, bill readers, receipt printers, and many other peripherals.

KCO Series Key Features Powerful Processing Power The KCO Series of industrial computers supports Intel’s 9th General Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors, capable of delivering powerful multi-core performance in a compact solution that does not sacrifice I/O availability. For complex and demanding workloads that require powerful processing power, the KCO-Series can be configured using Intel’s Core i3, i5, and i7 processors, offering plenty of processing power thanks to the availability of multiple cores with high clock speeds. For example, the KCO-2000 and KCO-3000...

USB Type-A Ports - x13 USB Ports • Serial COM Ports RS-232/422/485 • Wired LAN Ports • VGA, DVI, DP Rich I/O The KCO-Series is jampacked with I/O ports, allowing your system to connect to new and legacy devices. Here are all the I/O ports that you will find on the KCO-Series of industrial computers: • USB Type-A Ports The KCO-Series comes configured with 13x USB Type-A ports (7x USB 2.0 ports & 6x USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports), accommodating sensors, cameras, barcode reader, bill scanners, card readers, fingerprint sensors, and a variety of other peripherals that utilize USB Type-A ports. USB 3.1...

Hot-Swappable 2.5” SATA Drive Tray and m.2 NVMe On-Board The KCO Series comes standard with a hot-swappable drive tray that offers support for solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs). Hot-swappable drive trays allow organizations to quickly swap out drives, reducing the downtime an organization may experience due to having to swap out a failed or failing drive with a new one. In addition to removable storage drive bays, the KCO Series also features on-board NVMe storage in m.2 form factor that can support NVMe PCIe x 4 in 2242, 2260, 2280 dimensions. KCO-2000 Series 1x...

PCIe Gen 3 Expansion Slots The KCO-2000 Series comes with a single PCIe Gen 3 x16 slot, allowing system integrators to add a low-profile add-in card to the system. On the other hand, the KCO-3000 series comes with 3x PCI Express slots (one PCIe Gen 3x 16, and two PCIe Gen 3 x4), allowing users to add multiple add-in cards to the system. Shock & Vibration Resistance Both the KCO-2000 and KCO-3000 Series come with some shock and vibration resistance that makes them better suitable for deployment in challenging industrial environments than regular desktop computers. Both solutions can...

Industrial-Grade Chassis & Dust Filter The chassis of the KCO-Series is built using heavy-duty metals while maintaining practicality and ease-of-use, forming an excellent housing for the sensitive internal components. Additionally, the KCO Series comes equipped with an external dust filter that lowers the amount of dust that can make its way into the industrial computer. Dust is the number one enemy of computers, so by adding a dust filter, we’ve reduced the number of dust particles that enter the system and damage the sensitive internal components. A key design feature is the washable dust...
