The biggest difference between industrial computers and ordinary computers is that industrial computers are a highly reliable and stable computer system specially designed for industrial control applications, while ordinary computers are more suitable for general Office, entertainment and other purposes.
The following are the main differences between industrial computers and ordinary computers:
Durability and reliability: Industrial computers use industrial-grade hardware components, which have higher durability and reliability. Able to adapt to harsh environmental conditions. In contrast, the components of ordinary computers are relatively fragile and prone to failure due to environmental influences.
Adaptability and stability: Industrial computer operating systems often use various embedded operating systems such as Windows or Linux. The system is stable and highly reliable. At the same time, they also have better real-time performance and adaptability. Able to meet the requirements of control applications. In comparison, ordinary computer systems are more complex, and the real-time performance and reliability of the operating system are not enough to meet the needs of some strict industrial control applications.
Extensibility: Industrial computers can customize various expansion modules and interfaces according to application requirements, thereby meeting various industrial control application requirements. In contrast, ordinary computers have limited expansion capabilities and can usually only be expanded through standard interfaces such as USB and PCI.
Application fields: Industrial computers are widely used in various industrial application fields such as industrial control, Internet of Things, robots, intelligent transportation, and medical equipment, while ordinary computers are more used for general purposes such as office and entertainment.
In short, industrial computers have higher stability, reliability, durability, adaptability and scalability, and are more suitable for industrial control and various special application fields than ordinary computers.
