Okay？ Where's the good news? The so-called industrial control motherboard is a rough concept. Is a motherboard industrial, not single?
Formal definition of product specifications. As far as product technology is concerned, whether it is an industrial motherboard should be investigated from many aspects, and the key is its technology.
Whether the technical indicators meet the harsh industrial environment, whether the application characteristics are suitable for the professional computing field, and whether the service obtained can be better than this.
Consumer products are more professional, standardized and timely, and the supply of products is strictly guaranteed. The following is a detailed introduction of the differences between the two, and a detailed analysis of the products of industrial control motherboards and commercial motherboards: 1. Size specification: At present, commercial motherboards mainly adopt ATX architecture and micro ATX; In order to adapt to a variety of application environments, industrial motherboards have adopted motherboards of various sizes, including ATX, micro ATX, LPX,
POS, mini ITX and other specifications. 2. Support for expansion slots: Due to the limitation of PCI specifications, ordinary commercial motherboards can only provide four PCI slots, which is basically difficult.
Ensure that four PCI slots can be driven at the same time; Moreover, in the commercial field, ISA, which is widely used in the industrial field, has been abandoned.
Bus; Because the industrial motherboard is designed with industrial components, its support for PCI slots can be easily realized.
At present, five PCI are supported, which will not cause the attenuation of PCI driving ability. And may have an ISA slot, which may be authentic.
Now it has a good support for industrial ISA low-speed acquisition card and data card. 3.I/O interface and bus support: commercial motherboards lack I/O interface support in the industrial embedded field; The industrial motherboard will be embedded with GPIO bus, which can realize GPI and GPO functions and integrate multiple RS-232/422/485.
Serial communication interface, which can support LVDS, DVI and other display interfaces. 4. Components used: Due to the timeliness of products pursued by commercial motherboards and the market positioning of their own products, the requirements for component selection are generally only
It only needs to meet the service life of the system for 2 to 3 years, and only needs to meet the stability under the use frequency of 5*8 hours; The material of the industrial motherboard will be selected from the components that have been verified under long-term high standards to ensure that the products are under harsh conditions.
Under the requirement of high reliability. Such as some solid-state capacitors, closed inductors, etc. , only appears on servers and high-end commercial motherboards.
Widely used in industrial motherboards. Generally it can be used for 7*24 hours. 5. Working environment: Industrial motherboards usually work in harsh environments (long working hours, harsh climate, humidity, vibration, dust, radiation and high temperature).
And so on), and these environments are beyond the competence of commercial motherboards, and most of the current commercial motherboards can only run in stable environments.
(Short working hours, indoor, normal temperature). 6. Life cycle: The market of commercial motherboards is changing rapidly, so the life cycle of general commercial motherboards is only six months to one year.
Period; In the industrial market, taking Yanhua's products as an example, the general industrial motherboard can reach a five-year life cycle.
Even longer.
7. Product reliability: Due to the market positioning of ordinary commercial motherboards, their products generally only require CCC certification and Great Wall certification for electronic products.
Civil EMC certification; Because the industrial motherboard is aimed at the industrial market, it needs reliability. Before each motherboard goes public, it will
Do the test certification of CE EMC, FCC, QA real reliability, CCC, anti-vibration, anti-impact and other industrial requirements. 8. Manageability: Commercial motherboards only provide the simplest remote management. By connecting to the network, use third-party software, such as real VNC and PC.
ANYWHARE and other implementations; The industrial motherboard can not only provide similar remote connection management, but also realize remote unattended automatic power on and off.
Yes Through embedded AMT function, IPMI interface or professional SMNP module, the system can run in real time.
Information management, recording and sending functions. 9. Customization: Once the commercial motherboard is produced, it can no longer change according to the market demand, and there is no customized design at all; In the industrial field, industrial-grade motherboards can flexibly meet the subsequent special needs of some customers and meet the requirements of users.
Modify, customize, better and more perfectly match the customer's use demand environment. 10. storage interface: commercial motherboards only provide common storage interfaces ide and SATA；; Industrial motherboards can provide ide, SATA, SCSI, CF card, DOC and other storage interface requirements. 1 1. protection function: protection function not provided by any commercial motherboard; Through special design, the industrial motherboard can automatically restart the watchdog to prevent surge when encountering abnormal situations such as crash.
Strike and other functions, fully ensure the high stability of the system in harsh environment. 12. Working temperature: commercial motherboards can only be used in an external environment of 5-40 degrees; Conventional industrial motherboards can work stably between 0 and 60 degrees, but some industrial motherboards adopt wide temperature design, and the temperature
The range can reach military grade -20 ~70 degrees, even -40 ~80 degrees 13. Market-scale commercial motherboards are mainly standard products with large output and market scale, which can be easily converted into motherboards of other brands; Industrial motherboards are mainly customized products with small output and market scale, and the cost of converting them into motherboards of other brands is high; Generally speaking, through the above comparison, we can clearly understand that the industrial motherboard is in terms of specifications, dimensions, design, materials, hygiene and so on.
Production, manufacturing and market scale are all aimed at industrial-level professional fields to ensure the high reliability of industrial systems. It is believed that with the understanding of the characteristics of industrial motherboards, more and more industrial motherboards will replace suppliers in the industrial field.
Industry motherboard, the application is more popular.
