ADLINK Launches New IMB-C Value Series ATX Motherboards

ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, and a global supplier of industrial PCs and motherboards, announces the launch of the new IMB-C Value Series of ATX motherboards, extending the IMB series motherboard range with new, more affordable, options for users seeking high-performance at a lower price point. The IMB-C value series comes with processor options ranging from Gen 10 to Gen 14 Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3 and includes features such as 2.5 Gbe, PCIe 4.0, DDR4, and USB 3.0, to suit applications in warehousing, industrial automation, smart manufacturing, and new energy.

The IMB-C series expands the IMB ATX motherboard range, providing a cost-effective alternative to the high-performance IMB-M series. Tailored for budget-sensitive projects without sacrificing essential features, the IMB-C models support DDR4 and PCIe 4.0, catering to applications that require solid performance with cost efficiency. Conversely, the IMB-M series is designed for top-tier performance, supporting DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, ideal for cutting-edge industrial use. The IMB-C series offers a comprehensive portfolio from Intel's 10th to 14th gen processors. Specifically, the IMB-C46 and IMB-C46H models come equipped with the Q470 and H420E chipsets respectively, optimized for 10th Gen Intel Core processors. Meanwhile, the IMB-M47 with the Q670 chipset, and the IMB-M47H with the H610 chipset, both support the 12th to 14th gen Intel Core processors, aligning with advanced system requirements and higher performance expectations.
"The IMB-C series broadens our ATX motherboard lineup to include budget-conscious models that maintain our standard for durability without the hefty price tag," said HC. Lin, ADLINK's Product Manager of Edge Computing Platforms BU. "By leveraging the latest technology with more conservative specifications, we've achieved an optimal balance. The series includes essential features for industrial applications—such as PCIe, 2.5GbE, and a range of Intel Core processors—while keeping costs low with DDR4 and PCIe 4.0. These choices ensure our customers can access high-quality, cost-effective solutions that are also fully compatible with ADLINK's pre-validated expansion cards, paving the way for future innovations in edge computing.

The ADLINK IMB-C series of industrial ATX motherboards offers cost-effectiveness without sacrificing performance. Fully compatible with ADLINK's range of pre-validated expansion cards for motion, vision, and I/O, this series streamlines system integration and speeds up deployment. The IMB-C Value Series employs well-established technology instead of cutting-edge options to ensure reliability and effectiveness. Supporting Intel Core processors from the 10th to 14th generations, and equipped with PCIe x16 plus multiple PCI or PCIe slots, up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory, 2.5 GbE LAN, and AI enablement, it boosts productivity and drives innovation in Edge AI applications.

Green PCB, VGA, PS/2 (DIN-6) and 32-bit PCI. Yep, industrial is where 1998-standards live forever, gotta love it. :laugh:

You dont replace a 20 million dollar machine every week. My company from time to time has to give support for machines that were bought in the 60s.

Not just yours, the one I am at does too, which is why I was praising this launch. ;)
Though, you've got to admit that the generational clash between something like PCI-e 4.0 and Plain'ol PCI gets more entertaining as the years go on. :laugh:

All my CNC machines run on DOS 2.0! Finding floppy disks has been fun......

Careful, this one is mini-DIN. If you need DIN (the one that the first IBM PC keyboards had), you'll have to make an adapter.

Are FDD simulators not an option for you?

But why does a machine from the year 2000 need a very advanced CPU such as the i3-10100 to run its proprietarx software, which is same age?

I understand that replacing old with old is sometimes necessary but replacing old with new seems like a recipe for many problems. Will DOS or Windows NT 4 run sufficiently well in a VM? Will non-native PCI work? What about RS-232?

intel dropped support for native PCI after X79/C60x
