ADLINK IMB-M43H ATX industrial motherboard

ADLINK Technology has announced its latest industrial ATX motherboard, the IMB-M43H, featuring support for both 6th Gen Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processors and and 7th Gen Intel Core processors, as well as compatibility with Windows 7. It improves on the previous generation with a computing power increase of as much as 10% and graphics performance increase of up to 30%, benefiting multiple simultaneous complex motion and vision processes.

The device’s dedicated mainstream expansion slots include one PCI Express Gen3 x16 slot, one PCI Express Gen2 x4 slot and five PCI slots, providing PCI Express expansion options for frame grabbers, digitisers and high-resolution dynamic signal acquisition and generation modules. Multiple PCI expansion options for motion and I/O control enable instant implementation of machine vision and industrial automation operations. From traditional machine automation applications in the semiconductor and flat panel display (FPD) industries where motion control, machine vision and optical inspection operations are critical, Industrial IoT solutions where collaboration between machines, humans and enterprise systems is essential, there are a number of industrial automation applications that can benefit from the product.

The unit features I/O ruggedness to enhance operational stability, including a power design that ensures stable power for each USB port at 5 V ±5%, with all USB ports able to achieve full loading, even from a 300 W power supply. IEC 61000-4-2~6 (Performance Criterion A) immunity performance ensures no degradation during operation, while EN 55032 Class B-certified EMI emission performance is said to enable 10 dB less radiation compared with most competitors.

The product accommodates integration of ADLINK’s full spectrum of frame grabbers, motion controllers and data acquisition cards, delivering an application-specific platform with versatile ADLINK I/O cards for automation applications.
