It means that like any other consumer electronic product, if you come back in two years and ask to buy one just like the one that is in your machine tool, they will laugh at you and ask why you want an antique. The consumer electronic world changes so fast that stuff is obsolete before the industrial world even has a chance to design it in. For machines that are expected to last a decade or two, that can be a nightmare. Their answer to that is usually a separate product line, that has half the performance at five times the price, but will remain in production for a long time. In that paragraph they are saying that if you need "an extended production life", then this board is not for you. Get your wallet out and go to the expensive industrial department. But if you won't need to worry about replacing it a couple years from now, then it would be good for an industrial application. -- John Kasunich jmkasun...@fastmail.fm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
