Nowadays, industrial computer motherboards are widely used in various fields of modernization, especially in industrial automation occasions. Regardless of whether it is a commercial computer or an industrial computer, the core is the motherboard. The industrial motherboard has a wider range of applications. Now some industrial computer motherboard manufacturers can gain a firm foothold in the market in order to save costs and reduce prices. The number of model layers is reduced, and there are also corresponding adjustments in the materials and accessories of the industrial computer motherboard, which only meets the basic performance requirements of the chipset. This cost-reduction approach is an improvement to the manufacturer's industrial computer motherboard design and layout capabilities. test.
So how should we choose the motherboard when we buy the industrial computer motherboard, and how to determine the pros and cons? Twilight will share some experience here with years of customized production experience of industrial tablet computers.
When we choose an industrial computer, the important thing is to choose the configuration and development software of the industrial control motherboard. The industrial computer motherboard almost determines the quality of the industrial computer. Brand, I/O interface, integrated motherboard, upgrade and expansion, motherboard quality inspection and other eight aspects. Below we will focus on the four aspects of chipset, motherboard form factor, I/O interface, and integrated motherboard:
The I/O interface part often reflects the positioning of a motherboard and the functions it provides. Although for most users, the dual network cards and 1394 interfaces provided by the I/O interface may not be able to be used, but for those who need it For users, this is more important. At the same time, the number of USB interfaces sometimes affects the experience of use. interface. In the I/O interface part, it can explain the positioning of a motherboard. The interfaces provided on high-end motherboards are relatively rich, while on low-end motherboards, you can save or save. Such a province is not a bad thing. After all, any function ultimately requires users to pay for it, and there is no need for interfaces that are not needed, but you must pay attention to it if you need it.
chipset
The choice of chipset is a consideration for motherboard selection. The support provided by different motherboard chipsets is different, and at the same time, the price is also different. You cannot choose a high-end motherboard that you can't use at all. , And you can't choose a motherboard that doesn't suit your needs just because the picture is cheap. The principle of motherboard selection is: "Fit for yourself and meet your own needs."
Integrated motherboard
Integrated motherboard is a very cost-effective choice, because users can get an integrated graphics core when the price of non-integrated motherboards is not big or even there is no price difference. For those who do not play games or play small games occasionally For users, the integrated motherboard is sufficient. Of course, for users with a small budget, playing some large-scale games on the integrated platform is just a stopgap. There is no alternative. For users who use a discrete graphics platform, the 3D performance of the integrated chipset does not need to be considered. The integrated motherboard not only selects a highly integrated chipset, but also integrates a sound card, a graphics card, and even a modem chip, so that the layout of the motherboard is simpler, the manufacturing cost is lower, and it has the advantages of high integration and high cost performance.
raw materials
The materials used in the workmanship of the industrial computer motherboard are mainly viewed from two aspects: 1. The workmanship of the 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 shiny is better. The general standard for the number of PCB layers is 4 or 6-layer boards, of course, the quality of 6-layer boards is much better. 2. The workmanship of SMT (surface mount) components. It is mainly by observing the placement accuracy of certain components to determine whether the production process of the motherboard is sophisticated, and the standard component placement is accurate and there is no offset.
Motherboard type
Motherboards are divided into large boards and small boards. Even in the large boards, there are several differences in models. We will not go into details here. What you need to know is that different versions of the motherboards are in terms of PCB cost. There are differences, and there are also differences in expansion performance. What will eventually affect the motherboard's price and expansion performance. The layout of the industrial computer motherboard is mainly embodied from the layout of the components on the industrial computer motherboard and the wiring of the circuit. A good industrial computer motherboard looks like an exquisite work of art in the eyes of experts. Users can make choices according to their needs.
