Advantech IPC - Precautions when selecting the motherboard of the IPC

When selecting the industrial control board, the main considerations are nothing more than the following points: motherboard layout, CPU, interface configuration, and workmanship raw materials!

Motherboard layout

The layout of the industrial computer motherboard is mainly reflected from the arrangement of each component and the wiring of the circuit on the industrial computer motherboard. A good IPC motherboard looks like a beautiful work of art in the eyes of connoisseurs. Now some industrial computer motherboard manufacturers in order to save costs, reduce prices, can gain a firm foothold in the market, not only reduce the number of layers of the board type, but also in the industrial computer motherboard materials and accessories also have corresponding adjustments, only to meet the basic performance requirements of the chipset, this way of reducing costs is a test of the manufacturer's industrial computer motherboard design and layout capabilities. Put the same number of expansion bits in a smaller space, but also to maintain stability and limit interference, so that the rationality of the structural arrangement and design of the industrial computer motherboard is particularly important, a little unreasonable design will lead to a crash, in this point the weak manufacturers are easy to make mistakes in these places, the motherboard is unstable, poor performance is caused by this! Therefore, when we choose a manufacturer, we must choose a manufacturer that has been doing it for many years and a manufacturer with strong technology.

　　CPU

The choice of chipset is the first consideration in the selection of motherboards, the support provided by different motherboard chipsets is different, at the same time, the price is also different, you can't choose a high-end and you can't use it at all to use its high-end motherboard, nor can you choose a motherboard that is not suitable for your needs because of the cheap picture, the principle of motherboard selection is: "suitable for yourself, meet your own needs".

Interface configuration

The interface part, many times also reflects the positioning of a motherboard and the functions provided, although for most users, the interface provides dual network ports, multi-serial ports, etc. may not be able to use, but for users in need, this point is more important, at the same time, the number of USB interfaces will sometimes affect the feeling of use. In the interface part, it is very good to illustrate the positioning of a motherboard, the interface provided on the high-end motherboard is relatively rich, and on the low-end motherboard, it can be saved, such a province is not a bad thing, after all, any function ultimately needs the user to pay, there is no need for the interface that is not needed, but if necessary, you must pay attention!

Raw materials for workmanship

The workmanship materials of the industrial computer motherboard are mainly from two aspects: 1. The workmanship of PCB (printed circuit board). The color of the PC board with guaranteed quality is basically the same, the finish is good, and the general quality that looks oily and shiny is better. The general standard for the number of layers of PCB board is 4 or 6 layers, of course, the quality of 6 layers is much better. 2. Workmanship of SMT (surface mount) components. It is mainly by observing the placement accuracy of some components to determine whether the production process of the motherboard is sophisticated, and the standard component placement positioning is accurate and there is no offset.
