Boards & Modules
Boards and modules provide building blocks for reliable industrial and embedded computing. From industrial motherboards, PICMG single-board computers and system-on-modules to multiport serial boards, add-on cards and peripherals, they offer flexible processing, connectivity and expansion for automation, edge, HMI and custom equipment designs.
Industrial and embedded motherboards give engineers a stable base for compact PCs, HMI systems, kiosks, edge gateways, and automation controllers. Long-life availability, rich display output, LAN, USB, serial, storage, and expansion options reduce redesign risk. They are chosen when continuity matters as much as performance.
PICMG single board computers extend the life of backplane-based industrial systems where replacement is costly or downtime is unacceptable. They bring modern processing, LAN, storage, display, and expansion support into established rackmount or control-system architectures. This helps upgrade performance without disturbing proven installations.
System-on-module platforms shorten development cycles by separating the processor module from the custom carrier board. They are useful for HMI, medical devices, industrial IoT, compact controllers, and edge systems where scalability, lifecycle planning, and future upgrades matter. The value is design flexibility without rebuilding everything each generation.
When a standard board does not expose the right interface, add-on cards and peripheral modules complete the system without forcing a redesign. They add I/O, LAN, audio, DIO, PCIe, Mini PCIe, converter, and vision connectivity for machine builders, control panels, kiosks, and embedded computers. This is often the fastest way to solve last-mile integration issues.
Many plants still depend on serial equipment, but modern PCs rarely provide enough native ports. Multiport serial boards add RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CAN, PCIe, PCI, UPCI, and PC/104 connectivity so PLCs, meters, sensors, drives, and legacy machines can communicate with current control systems. They preserve existing assets while modernizing the host platform.
