I-CONNECT · I/O ROUTING · 31 BOARDS

i-Connect Boards

The I/O interface-routing layer of the FlexCore™ three-board architecture ── RS-232/422/485 serial · USB · VGA / HDMI · GPIO · 4G/5G · power management. 31 COB / EXB / CES expansion boards let you change interfaces within the same enclosure without retooling, with small-batch customization from 5-50 units.

6 I/O EXPANSION CATEGORIES

6 I/O Expansion Categories

i-Connect boards are organized into 6 categories by interface type, covering the vast majority of I/O and communication needs on the industrial floor. They plug straight into the i-Core mainboard with no chassis redesign required.

ABOUT I-CONNECT

About the i-Connect Board

The layer of the FlexCore™ modular architecture closest to the field ── it centralizes every interface between the industrial PC and field equipment, turning interface configuration into a plug-in choice rather than a hard-wired commitment.

The design philosophy of the i-Connect board: by swapping different i-Connect boards, a single industrial PC can quickly change its interface configuration for different industries ── no new tooling, no recertification and no new firmware release. Customers buy not a fixed SKU, but a configurable industrial platform.

  • Plug-in connection ── mates with the i-Core mainboard through standard connectors, no soldering required
  • No retooling to change interfaces ── keep the same chassis and simply swap the i-Connect board to change the interface mix
  • Small-batch customization ── customize the interface mix from just 5-50 units, cutting project lead time by 60%+
  • Industrial-grade stability ── anti-interference, anti-static and wide-temperature operation, compliant with industrial EMC standards
  • Works with i-Function ── i-Function provides function expansion while i-Connect provides interface routing, together forming a complete FlexCore™ solution

"Every industrial site has different I/O needs ── we turn changing the interfaces into a simple board swap rather than a from-scratch tooling project."
