Industrial computer, short for "industrial control computer", is a microcomputer composed of large-scale integrated circuits. It is a computer specially designed for industrial sites. Attributes and features such as computing power and human-machine interface are widely used in control sites, road and bridge toll collection, medical care, environmental protection, intelligent transportation, communications, monitoring, CNC machine tools, finance, aerospace and many other fields, enabling various automation in all walks of life. , The demand for intelligence has been met.
Compared with traditional computers, what are the characteristics of industrial computer?
Compared with traditional PC computers, industrial computers are more used in harsh environments, so industrial computers have stricter requirements in terms of ease of maintenance, heat dissipation, dust prevention, product cycle, and size. The unique characteristics of the industrial computer.
1. High reliability
The industrial computer is often used to control the continuous production process. It is not allowed to stop for maintenance during the operation process. Once a failure occurs, it will lead to quality accidents and even production accidents. Therefore, most industrial computers will use high-quality hardware such as chips, CPUs, multi-core processors, and graphics cards to improve the reliability and stability of industrial computers, and reduce the failure rate and maintenance time of industrial computers.
2. Good real-time performance
Because the industrial computer must respond to various parameter changes of the control object in real time, it can control and detect the production process in real time. When the process parameters are deviated or faulty, it must be able to respond in real time and perform alarm and processing in real time. Therefore, the industrial computer will be equipped with a real-time multitasking operating system and an interrupt system to ensure the smooth development of the operation.
3. Strong adaptability to the environment
Due to the harsh environment of the industrial site, most industrial computers have ultra-high-quality hardware components and external packaging materials. Anti-vibration, strong impact resistance and so on.
4. Rich input and output templates
The industrial computer also has a wealth of multi-functional input and output supporting templates such as analog, digital, pulse, etc., which can ensure that the industrial control function is matched with the process instrument, and can deal with various signals, making the control and detection process more intelligent, which is conducive to Improve production and work efficiency.
5. Redundancy
In the occasions with high reliability requirements, people require the industrial computer to have dual-machine work and redundant systems, including dual control stations, dual operation stations, dual network communication, dual power supply systems, dual power supplies, etc., to ensure long-term uninterrupted systems. Work.
