TL;DR: Picking an industrial automation computer with legacy ports boils down to three questions. Is each COM, LPT or PCI interface native, bridged or adapted? Does its electrical behaviour match the field device? And does the board stay under its thermal ceiling...
TL;DR: A sealed industrial box PC overheats when its own heat plus the heat of its surroundings exceeds what the chassis can shed through conduction, natural convection and radiation. Stop thermal throttling in an industrial fanless PC by working out a dissipation...
Solid-State Storage in a Fanless Industrial PCTL;DR: Put an industrial fanless PC on a shaking machine, a vehicle or a pole, and the platters, heads and spindle motor are the first things to give out. Solid-state storage has none of them. It also sips power, so it...
