Versatility and compatibility of inputs or outputs
Having the latest I/O configuration isn't always perfect for industrial applications. One of the drawbacks of commercial motherboards is that they only focus on the latest I/O trends, such as adding a lot of USB Type – C input. However, in industrial applications, there are many situations where computers and machines require a variety of I/O options that support traditional technologies. Traditional technical support is important because it can reduce upgrade costs and increase compatibility issues in industrial systems. As a result, industrial motherboards can be configured to support a variety of I/O options for legacy technologies that are not typically supported by commercial motherboards. These legacy I/O inputs are still supported on industrial motherboards, which include DIO, GPIO, VGA, DVI, PCI slots, ISA slots, COM ports, serial ports, and more. What's more, the industrial motherboard also supports connectivity by adding upgrades to Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and 5G connectivity with external cards via Mini PCIe slots, which are routed to onboard SIM card slots. This is a testament to the capabilities of a versatile and compatible industrial motherboard in industrial applications.
Industrial motherboards have a longer lifespan
Unlike typical commercial motherboards, industrial motherboards are constructed of durable and reliable industrial-grade components for extended lifespan. Carefully select all the parts used to make an industrial motherboard, including selecting items such as specific capacitors, resistors, reactors, and many more. Even when deployed in harsh environments, industrial motherboards can provide better electrical performance and more stable system performance. As a result, industrial motherboards can last up to 5 to 7 years by using industrial-grade components. These additional steps help reduce RMA, extend product lifecycles, and lower total cost of ownership.
It can be used within the extreme temperature range
To survive in the harshest environments, industrial motherboards can withstand extreme temperatures. Extremely low temperatures and extremely high temperatures are a concern for regular commercial motherboards, as they are constructed to withstand this kind of hot and cold stress. In contrast, industrial motherboards can be deployed in cold winters, where temperatures can be as low as -40°C, and can also survive in hot environments up to 85°C. To ensure its durability, industrial motherboards are tested in controlled devices using temperature and humidity test chambers to ensure that they are not limited by extreme temperatures and humidity.
Conformal coating enhances motherboard durability
Some industrial motherboards also have the option of using conformal coatings to increase the durability and longevity of the motherboard. Conformal coating is a method of coating a PCB with a thin film of polymer to increase the protection of printed circuit board components. This coating enhances the motherboard's resistance to dust, moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Conformal coating on the motherboard is only required for specific applications and deployments, as doing so can be costly.
