In the industrial field, the importance of motherboards is infinitely magnified. The automated production lines that run day and night in large factories, the precisely controlled smart grid systems, and the oil exploration equipment that can collect data stably in extreme environments all rely on industrial-grade motherboards and industrial control-grade motherboards. So what is the difference between industrial-grade motherboards and industrial control-grade motherboards?

‌Industrial-grade motherboards‌ are special motherboards designed for industrial applications. They can run stably in extreme environments and have high reliability and durability. They are commonly used in various industrial equipment in the fields of manufacturing, automation, medical, national defense, and energy.

‌Industrial control-grade motherboards‌ are computer motherboards designed for industrial environments, mainly used to control and monitor industrial equipment, such as robots and automated control systems on production lines. Unlike ordinary computer motherboards, industrial control-grade motherboards are designed with the special needs of industrial environments in mind, and have higher durability, anti-interference ability, and the ability to run stably for a long time. ‌

The main differences between industrial-grade motherboards and industrial control-grade motherboards are design purpose, application scenarios, durability, scalability, interface type, and cost and degree of customization.

First: Durability and stability

Industrial motherboards use durable components and materials, and can work normally in harsh environments such as extreme temperature, humidity, and dust. They have strong shock and vibration resistance to ensure stability in complex working environments. Industrial control-grade motherboards also have high durability and stability, can operate in a temperature range of -40 degrees to 85 degrees, adapt to strong electromagnetic interference environments, and ensure long-term trouble-free operation.

Second: Scalability and interface

Industrial motherboards have strong expansion capabilities, providing more PCI slots, USB interfaces, SATA interfaces, etc. to meet the connection needs of various external devices and sensors. Industrial control-grade motherboards are usually equipped with rich I/O interfaces, such as USB, serial ports, display interfaces, etc., support a variety of peripherals and expansion cards, and meet the needs of complex industrial applications.
