Backplanes for Industrial Rackmount PCs

Industrial Computer System

Backplanes allow for control of the Industrial Computer (IPC) system by inserting a Single Board Computer (SBC) into a dedicated PICMG 1.0/1.3, PISA, PCI, ISA or PICOe slot. Expansion slots allow for additional card types such as Motion Controllers, I/O cards, Vision cards and many others. Backplanes are standard components of Industrial Computers. Backplanes range from 2 slots to 20 slots from a variety of PCI, PCIe, ISA, PISA, PICOe and PICMG 1.0/1.3 configurations.

Backplane SBC/Bus Interface

SBC/Bus Interfaces are communication pathways to other devices. The SBC is plugged into the backplane via the SBC/bus interface. The backplane will provide expansion capabilities specific to your application and SBC/bus interface.

Computer Backplane Slots

Slots are the hardware sockets on the backplane. These sockets are used for single board computers (SBC) and expansion cards.
