What happens when you need to replace an Industrial Computer that uses an old technology like ISA? Commercial Computers aren’t appropriate and don’t support older expansion technologies and Off-The-Shelf Industrial-Grade systems may need heavy modification to meet your needs.

An experienced Industrial Solutions Provider will be able to offer you systems that can support the following hard to find technologies:

-Multiple Serial Ports (COM), as many as 4

Most systems would require the addition of a plug-in card to provide this many ports, using up a valuable device slot in the process.

-Multiple ISA Slots, which have been phased out and are hard to find support

The ISA format has been phased out and support has become harder to find. A good provider will be able to evaluate your devices for compatibility and connectivity.

-Numerous 32 bit PCI Slots, for all your device needs

Though the market is quickly moving towards newer PCI standards, it’s still possible to support

Industrial Computing rarely has a “one size fits all” solution. When it comes to hard to find hardware specifications & configurations, it’s important that your provider have extensive engineering experience and the highest levels of customization and support. Many of these standards are becoming hard to find in new Industrial-Grade units. Make sure you select a provider who understands the challenge of integrating older devices with modern systems. You’ll save time, money and downtime. A new system will provide you with available support, more power, more ISA Slots, more PCI Slots, and less trouble!
