What is an industrial computer?
Computer, commonly known as computer, is a modern electronic computing machine used for high-speed computing. It is a modern intelligent electronic device that can run according to the program and process massive data automatically and at high speed. A computer consisting of a hardware system and a software system without any software installed is called bare metal. It can be divided into five categories: supercomputer, industrial control computer, network computer, personal computer, and embedded computer.
Industrial Personal Computer (IPC) is an industrial control computer, which is a general term for a tool that uses a bus structure to detect and control the production process, electromechanical equipment, and process equipment. The industrial computer has important computer attributes and characteristics, such as a computer motherboard, CPU, hard disk, memory, peripherals and interfaces, as well as an operating system, control network and protocols, computing power, and friendly human-machine interface. The products and technologies of the industrial control industry are very special, and the intermediate products are to provide stable, reliable, embedded and intelligent industrial computers for other industries.
The main categories of industrial computers are: IPC (PC bus industrial computer), PLC (programmable control system), DCS (distributed control system), FCS (field bus system) and CNC (numerical control system).
What does an industrial computer do? What can an industrial computer be used for?
Generally used in medical, military, electric power, communications, financial terminals, intelligent instruments, network/information security equipment, surveying and mapping, motion control, intelligent transportation and other industrial automation control fields.
The industrial computer mainly has many interfaces, such as serial port, network port, buckle, and many expansion slots such as ISA slot, PCI slot, PCIE slot, and then has strong protection, anti-electromagnetic interference, anti-static, anti-vibration. The system can support xp, 2003, 2008, W7 and other old systems. Therefore, many industrial software upgrade slow drives must use industrial computers. Most of the customers are supporting equipment, and their equipment needs to communicate with the industrial computer and let the industrial computer control it.
