In our lives, we often hear the words industrial motherboard and commercial motherboard, but do you know what are the differences between industrial motherboard and commercial motherboard? How do you choose between the two? Why is the price of industrial motherboard higher than that of commercial motherboard?

As the name suggests, the industrial motherboard is used in industrial occasions installed on the industrial computer motherboard, which can provide current transmission for the industrial computer, achieve information transmission of various components, and ensure stable and efficient work. Industrial motherboard use environment requirements are high, in the selection of components to take into account the wet, high temperature environment, and can work for a long time high load, long service life, motherboard anti-interference ability; Commercial motherboard upgrade fast, low requirements for the use of environment and product stability, do not need too long service life, basically choose cost-effective components, reduce costs.

The demand for industrial motherboards is less than that of commercial motherboards, mainly based on customized products, the output and market size are small, and the cost is relatively high. In order to meet the conditions of industrial use, the parameters of the industrial motherboard need to reach the industrial level, such as the working temperature can reach -40 degrees to 80 degrees, the working humidity can reach 0-90%, can continue to work in the metal dust environment, can also work in the strong electromagnetic interference environment, which is the typical difference with the commercial motherboard.

Industrial motherboard because of the use of scenarios, interface design is rich, PCI slots, such as LVDS interface, eDP interface, HDMI interface, MIPI interface, VGA interface, and commercial motherboard generally only graphics card slots. In terms of function, the industrial motherboard is specially designed, in the event of a crash or abnormal situation, the watchdog system will restart to ensure that the system can still work stably in the abusive environment, the commercial motherboard in order to save costs, there is no protection function.

Compared with the working environment of the commercial motherboard, the industrial control motherboard makes the working environment high temperature, which has differentiated requirements in terms of heat dissipation function, and the industrial control motherboard needs to carry out heat dissipation design to cope with the harsh environment.

There are also different differences in size specifications, detection process, line design, CPU power consumption, etc. The main reason for these differences is the difference in the use environment. Industrial motherboard is mainly used in transportation, medical, industrial robots, warehousing, artificial intelligence, intelligent equipment, security monitoring, instrumentation, mechanical equipment and other fields, to our life has brought a lot of convenience, with the continuous development of science and technology, the use of industrial motherboard more and more scenarios.
