The rapid development of industrial technology has brought our automation equipment technology to a higher level. In terms of industrial automation control, we currently use ordinary computers and industrial computers to cooperate to achieve completion. But after a lot of practical applications, IPC is more practical in industrial automation.
So why does industrial automation need to use an industrial computer?
1. Ordinary computers are relatively fragile when used in industrial automation, and are prone to failure. Frequent maintenance will increase the cost of the enterprise, but the industrial computer is different. The performance of the industrial computer is relatively stable, although the cost of the initial investment will be higher than that of ordinary computers. Computers are high, but in the long run, the cost is definitely lower than that of ordinary computers.
2. Many industrial automation sites are production lines, which require non-stop production and work. People can rest, but machines cannot. Ordinary computers cannot be turned on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, but industrial computers can. This is its advantage.
3. Although ordinary computers can also be used in industrial automation, they must be sites with relatively good environments. There are requirements for industrial environment. But the industrial computer is different. It is a special computer. It is professionally protected and tested in terms of dust-proof, moisture-proof and vibration-proof. It can be used in any complex and harsh industrial environment, and has basically no requirements for the environment.
4. The risk of viruses in ordinary computers is greater. Once poisoned, the entire industrial production line will be paralyzed, and the consequences will be serious. However, the industrial computer is installed with industrial control server systems such as Linux and server, which are more secure and reliable than ordinary windows systems, and have a lower risk of poisoning.
The above simple points can see why industrial automation needs to use industrial computers. Industrial computer will play a greater role in future industrial automation.
