The embedded industrial computer is a compact computer specially designed for industrial sites. It is a reinforced industrial computer that can operate reliably in the industry as an industrial controller. Common embedded industrial computers include box-type industrial computers and fanless industrial computers. Embedded IPCs have reliable performance, fanless layout, compact size and low price, and are becoming more and more common in IPCs. Especially in recent years, with the development of embedded technology, embedded industrial computers are also growing rapidly, and are quickly used in various fields, and occupy more and more important.
What are the differences between embedded industrial computer and ordinary computer
So compared with ordinary industrial computers, what is the difference between embedded industrial computers? Where is the disadvantage?
1. The advantages of embedded industrial computer in product performance
1. The function of the product has good adaptability, and the function of the tested and controlled object is almost completely allocated. It has certain scalability but does not take expansion as a secondary goal, so the product is cost-effective;
2. Miniaturization of installation is one of the main manifestations, which is manifested as a compact design. There is no scale for reference in the layout design. It is necessary to fully consider the external interface and the reasonable operation of the installation space;
3. Reliable and high performance requirements. On the basis of the reliability of electric energy, it is necessary to carefully consider the reliability design content of heat dissipation design, electromagnetic compatibility design, dustproof and waterproof design, and anti-vibration design;
4. Ultra-low power consumption without fans is envisaged as a tributary. Because the installation is miniaturized, the heat dissipation capacity is unlimited, and the MTBF (average trouble-free working time) requirements of the embedded system are also very high, especially in the unattended use, the ultra-low power consumption fanless design becomes necessary.
Second, the difference between embedded industrial computer and ordinary industrial computer
First of all, the embedded industrial computer is located in the entire measurement and control system, which is often at the front end. The upward connection of the embedded industrial computer is often the ordinary industrial computer. The computing power, software resources, database support and other aspects of the ordinary industrial computer are all embedded. The industrial computer is difficult to reach;
Secondly, in the establishment of large-scale systems, the system expansion capability and collection and communication capabilities of common industrial computers are also difficult to replace with embedded industrial computers;
In addition, in the fields of visualization design, process embedded IPC, data statistics, scientific computing, prototype simulation design, in-loop simulation, etc., ordinary IPCs have inherent advantages.
