Industrial Personal Computer (Industrial Personal Computer) is simply a computer designed for industrial sites. The operating environment of industrial computers is very harsh, and some good brand computers (Advantech, Micro Embedded, etc.) can indeed be stable in the same environment. However, it cannot guarantee long-term stable operation. Many industrial computers work in a no-man’s land, and no errors are allowed. Therefore, stability is more important than performance.
Industrial tablet PCs have to be different from general commercial PCs in terms of the materials used for electronic components, which also causes the difference in cost between them, and the market population will also be different. The interface of some industrial computers has been eliminated a lot in today's home computers, but industrial computers are still used and a bit out of the norm. The system architectures are not all the same, just because the industrial computer has made some special designs to keep the hardware interchangeability between them and ordinary personal computers. , In addition, in terms of reliability, stability, weather resistance, shock resistance, water and dust resistance, anti-interference, scalability, EMC compatibility, etc., industrial computers are definitely better than commercial computers. Most of the components are of industrial grade and even some of them are of military grade, so that they can meet the requirements of the industrial field environment.
Under normal circumstances, the vibration of the industrial site is relatively violent, the dust is relatively large, and it is also interfered by the high electromagnetic field force, and the factory is continuously operated for a year. Therefore, compared with ordinary computers, industrial computers must have the following characteristics:
1) The chassis adopts an all-steel structure, which has high anti-magnetic, anti-shock, and dust-proof capabilities.
2) There is a dedicated backplane in the chassis, and there are PCI and ISA slots on the backplane.
3) There is a special power supply in the chassis, and the power supply has strong anti-interference ability.
4) The ability to work continuously for a long time is required.
5) Standard chassis that are easy to install are generally used (4U standard chassis is more common)
1. The industrial tablet computer adopts a passive backplane structure instead of the large board structure of commercial computers, which helps to improve the expandability of the system. In addition, up to 20 boards can be expanded under this structure, and the board card insertion and removal is very convenient, Its quick repair time is shorter;
2. The chassis of the industrial tablet computer adopts an all-steel structure, CPU card pressure strips, filters, double positive pressure fans, EMI shrapnel, etc. to solve the heavy pressure, vibration, dust, heat dissipation, temperature, and electromagnetic interference in the industrial field. Without the above structure, the above problems cannot be solved;
3. Industrial tablet computers support the 19-inch shelf standard, but ordinary commercial computers do not;
4. The main board of the industrial tablet computer is designed with a watchdog function, which supports remote wake-up and automatic reset;
5. Industrial tablet PC motherboards all adopt unique design, manufacturing and testing processes to improve trouble-free running time;
6. Compared with commercial machines, industrial tablet computers are more suitable for field use with higher requirements because of their wide temperature, anti-magnetic, and anti-static characteristics.
Micro-embedded industrial panel computer (industrial personal computer) WPC-104 is a fanless industrial panel computer based on Intel Atom processor. It has powerful computing power while maintaining low power consumption characteristics, especially the CPU and memory use surface mount technology. Enhanced product stability and compatibility; no cable connection is used for storage, while supporting SATA hard disk and electronic disk storage, and a fast installation and maintenance program is designed.
Micro-embedded industrial panel computer (industrial personal computer) WPC series has designed a 12-24V wide-voltage power input scheme, and added overcurrent, overvoltage, surge and reverse connection protection measures to meet the requirements of complex industrial sites; it is equipped with rich functions. I/O interface, 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4 USB2.0 ports, 4 RS232/485 optional serial port, parallel port, audio output and VGA display interface, and supports an external display to form synchronous or asynchronous dual display .
