What Are Industrial Motherboards?
A motherboard is a printed circuit board installed in a computer and is the foundation of all computing functions including power distribution, central processing unit (CPU) communications, random access memory (RAM) operations, along will all other internal components. The need for computers within industrial applications and environments has paved the way for a robust ruggedized version of a standardized motherboard. Industrial boards are typically designed with more durable and flexible characteristics in comparison to their office-based counterparts offering features such as:- Streamlined form factors for low profile/footprint space saving
- Lower audible level operations promoting reduced noise
- Enhanced environmental monitoring support for surrounding ambient conditions
- Robust temperature and humidity thresholds to withstand industrial areas and operations
- Increased port inclusion supplying multiple serial communication ports (COM ports), USB 3.0 ports, dual LAN ports, and along with various configurations
- Performance expansion options for scalability to accommodate for future growth
- Reduced power requirements for energy efficiency
- Decreased per-unit cost for added savings
