Industrial computers and servers; Notebook; Workstation; What's the difference between a desktop or something? Does the IPC have a serial port (232 ports)?

IPC is different from other computers (such as servers, notebooks, workstations, desktops, etc.). ). Industrial computer is a kind of computer specially used for industrial control, which is usually used in industrial fields such as automation control, data acquisition and monitoring.

The following are some differences between industrial computers and other computers:

Application scenario: Industrial computer is mainly used for industrial control and data acquisition, while other computers are mainly used for office and personal entertainment.

Hardware configuration: Industrial computer usually adopts special hardware configuration, such as low-power processor, high-performance I/O interface and compact chassis. To adapt to the harsh industrial environment. Other computers pay more attention to performance and appearance.

Reliability: Industrial computer usually adopts redundancy technology and fault detection mechanism to ensure stable operation in harsh environment. Other computers seldom consider these factors.

Interfaces and slots: Industrial control computers usually have a variety of interfaces and slots to meet the needs of various industrial applications. Other computers usually have fewer interfaces and slots.

As for serial port, most industrial computers are equipped with serial ports (232 ports) to communicate with other devices.
