This unit
The Kontron/PEP CP604-PM is a CompactPCI single board computer engineered for demanding industrial and embedded applications requiring hot-swappable capability. This Peripheral Master (PM) variant enables board removal and replacement within a running system without operational disruption. Built around the Intel Mobile Pentium III processor (BGA 400/500/700/850 MHz), it delivers reliable computing power across harsh operating environments with extended temperature support.

Kontron / PEP CP604-PM — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Kontron / PEP CP604-PM. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Kontron / PEP CP604-PM faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
Kontron / PEP CP604-PM price
This Kontron / PEP CP604-PM is listed at $1,100. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Kontron / PEP CP604-PM calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Kontron / PEP CP604-PM is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
