Do you know what an industrial computer is used for?
Industrial control machine that industrial control computer, it is between the server and the computer in the middle of a device, it is a kind of data bus structure, on the production process and electromechanical equipment, process equipment for detection and control of the tool in general.
Industrial control machine has important computer attributes and features, such as a computer motherboard, CPU, hard disk, memory, peripherals and interfaces, and operating system, control networks and protocols, computing power, friendly human-machine interface. Its motherboard integration according to different functions, some slots are more, there are PCI, PCI-E, serial ports, etc., support for more systems (can be pre-installed according to user needs, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Linux, Android and other systems).
Industrial control industry products and technologies are very special, belonging to the intermediate products, is to provide stable, reliable, embedded intelligent industrial computers for various other industries. Has been widely used in all aspects of industry and people's lives. For example, it is used in intelligent medical equipment, transportation, artificial intelligence, commercial office, CNC machine tools, robots, industrial factories, monitoring system background.
Industrial Controls have many types according to different functional requirements, there are IPC (PC bus industrial computer), PLC (programmable control system), DCS (decentralized control system), FCS (fieldbus system) and CNC (numerical control system). For example: 4U rack-mounted industrial computer, multi-serial industrial computer, multi-network industrial computer.
While industrial controllers have some of the features of home desktop computers, there are some differences between them. First of all, from the appearance of the industrial computer is different from the home computer, because industrial computers in the real use of the environment will be more harsh, so the industrial computer shell is to take high-density aluminum material (tin) made of, and is fully enclosed body, to prevent the infiltration of dust and oil, and the opposite of the home computer in the home or office environment, the body requirements are not as strict as industrial computers (home desktop computers) The chassis is hollow body, fewer expansion ports, fan cooling), from the physical picture comparison we can see that the industrial computer in extreme environments can still be very stable operation, with 365 days 24 hours a day stable operation, easy to cope with a variety of industrial and commercial places.
According to the different functions, the price comparison is very different, the general price of a few thousand dollars to more than 10,000 yuan.
