MicroATX 965MTX Motherboard

Industrial motherboards sure do pack in a punch when it comes to offering heavy duty performance for high-stretched operations, and the MicroATX 965MTX motherboard is no exception. As a long-life industrial motherboard, the 965MTX motherboard comes backed up with multi-core processor technology and PCI Express, even as the Intel Q965 Express chipset breathes life into it. As a vital component of industrial computers, the 965MTX motherboard has all that is required to work under harsh industrial conditions and give in untiring performance for complex embedded applications. In fact, its abilities have been put to test in a wide variety of fields, such as the medical industry, security and surveillance, industrial automation and manufacturing industries.

The motherboard’s multi-core processor technology allows it to be compatible with Intel Pentium 4, Intel Celeron D 440, and Intel Core 2 Duo processors. The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3000 graphic card offers a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 with a single DB15 connector. With a temperature setting that allows the CPU to sustain under temperature conditions ranging between 0°C to +55°C to -40°C to +70 °C under extreme conditions, it is ideal for industrial computers that are exposed to really severe work environments. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons, coupled with its flexible and dependable platform, which make the 965MTX motherboard such a popular choice among various industries.

LegaSys440 Embedded Systems

The LegaSys440 embedded system has been built around the Raptor ATX long life industrial motherboard and is one of the best examples of embedded computer systems that back up the high performance abilities of industrial computers. A LegaSys440 computer has all the attributes of a task oriented computer system owing to the Intel 440BX AGPset that breathes in unperturbed power into the system to function under various work conditions. Taking a step ahead towards the future of embedded technology, the LegaSys440 takes over from its predecessors, the 386 and PIII non-RoHS systems. Designed to provide the most complex embedded solutions, this system comes in a dimension of 16.8 inches x 8.3 inches x 17.4 inches and features a 100MHz front side bus.

A 12 cm fan that has been mounted at its rear end makes sure that the system remains cool even in the harshest of work environments. The LegaSys440 has the capacity to operate in temperatures that may range between 0°C to 50 °C, while it can sustain a temperature of -20°C to 80 °C in a non-operational state. With a system memory of 256MB PC100 SDRAM that supports three PC100 SDRAM modules up to 768MB, the LegaSys440 embedded system is powered by the Intel Pentium III (Socket 370) 850MHz processor. As an improvised version of the previous models, the LegaSys440 is compatible with all your existing controllers, testers, and installed devices and supports Windows 98Se, Windows 2K, Windows XP and DOS operating systems.

The LegaSys440 embedded system belongs to the breed of the latest embedded systems that are built to offer high performance and an infallible durability since it comes with a five to eight year production life cycle guarantee. This helps you bring your redesign and recertification costs down to a great degree and increase your return on investment in the process. The sturdy frame of the LegaSys440 showcases the motive of the maker behind its construction, which is obviously the functioning of the system under diverse work environments with the utmost ease and flexibility. Fulfilling the RoHS compliance standards, this embedded system is a proof of all the tests that it has passed through to be a much preferred choice in the category of embedded computer systems.

Industrial Computer

The requirements of an industrial PC are there fore a lot different to that of the needs for an office computer. The needs of an industrial computer will also vary dramatically depending on the industry itself. Computers used in food manufacture may have to be waterproof and intrinsically sealed to prevent explosions in potentially explosive and dusty atmospheres whilst also being made of stainless steel or other easy to clean material yet computers in heavy industry may have to also protect from dust and dirt but be able to withstand excessive temperatures, knocks and vibrations.

Demands are high for computing in industry.Industrial machines have to cope with many hostile elements whilst also providing reliable computing. Traditionally industrial computers have been specific, bespoke machines. These industrial computers tend to run old hardware and versions of software. Whilst this has the advantage of making the machines stable and reliable, the out-dated technology may mean the processes controlled by the machine are not done as efficiently. These machines are also very expensiveand have to be replaced periodically as the hardware and software willeventually become obsolete.

Food industry and Industrial Copmuters

The food industry does pose unique challenges when it comes to automation and computerisation such as the prevalence of water in food production areas. Various laws and good working practices mean that food production areas are regularly washed or hosed-down. This can cause obvious problems to computer or touchscreen if they are used nearby as water will have catastrophic effects on any computer system.

Many food production of manufacturing areas turn to waterproof computer enclosures to protect their computer systems from wash down. Industrial computers designed to international guidelines to ensure they can operate safely in washdown environments with the waterproof PC enclosure even allowing the systems to be hosed down themselves.

Single Board Computer

When we talk of computers, topics usually range from desktops, laptops and notebooks. Sometimes, our ideas and discussions about computers seem to go on forever. However, we seldom hear talk about single board computers. We may not be familiar with the term, though many of us have used single board computer at one time or another.

A single board computer is a complete computer that stands on a single circuit board. It is a circuit board that contains all the components to make a complete computer, such as the processor, memory (RAM), I/O, processor clock and audio and video interfaces. Single board computers may be used as stand-alone units, embedded units or backplane units.

Today, single board computers have found wide use in industrial processes. These small-form factor computers are often used in industrial machines in a rack-mount format that performs complex processes.
