1. 산업용 컴퓨터란?
Embedded industrial PCs and industrial tablet all-in-one computers are used in many occasions and are very common. So what is an industrial computer? In fact, an industrial computer is a computer. In simple terms, it is divided into three types: personal PC, server, and industrial computer. Industrial computer is used for industrial production control. Therefore, compared with personal PCs and servers, the working environment of industrial computers is very harsh, and the requirements for data security are also very high. The industrial computer needs to have basic protection functions, including reinforcement, dustproof, moistureproof, anticorrosion, and radiation protection. At the same time, industrial control computers have very high requirements for extended functions, and industrial control computers often need to be individually customized to meet the requirements of specific external equipment.
2. What is an industrial computer motherboard?
In terms of architecture, the personal PC adopts the ATX architecture; and the industrial computer motherboard adopts a variety of specifications, such as common ATX, MIN-ITX, LPX, POS, etc. Multi-size specifications can be adapted to the needs of various different environments. Because PC motherboards are subject to PCI specifications, they often provide 3 PCI slots; the number of PCIs on industrial control motherboards can be more than 5, and the drive capability will not be attenuated. At the same time, it supports more interfaces, such as MiniPCI-E, PC104 plus , multiple COM interfaces, embedded GPIO bus, dual display function with LVDS, HDMI, DVI interfaces, full-field function and baseboard coordination, more expandability, support for multiple ISA, PCI , MINIPCI extension. The PCB of the industrial computer motherboard will use a PCB circuit board with more than 6 layers, which is 2 layers more than the PC motherboard. The multi-layer PCB circuit board design can greatly enhance the ability of the entire board to resist electromagnetic interference and further enhance the stability of the motherboard. Moreover, the life cycle of the motherboard is very long. Ordinary motherboards and accessories only need to meet 2 years, and the update is very fast; the industrial computer motherboard is very particular about the material selection, such as solid capacitors will appear on the industrial computer motherboard to ensure It can be used for a long time in harsh environments.
The amount of ordinary motherboards is very large, once they are generated, they are formed, and there is no customized customization by customers. The industrial computer motherboard is completely different, which can flexibly meet the special needs of some customers and realize user customization. The operating environment of the industrial computer is harsh, with long working hours, bad weather, humidity, vibration, dusty, radiation, high temperature, etc., it can work stably between -10 degrees and 60 degrees. Most commercial motherboards can only run at indoor temperatures between 5 and 40 degrees. Ordinary computers do not have any protection functions after crashing; embedded industrial motherboards will automatically restart when the watchdog encounters a crash, anti-surge and other functions, and make every effort to ensure the high stability of the system in harsh environments.
3. What is a fanless industrial computer?
Box computer, fanless industrial computer, fanless embedded industrial computer are actually the same kind of industrial computer. The computer has a compact structure and has been specially strengthened. As an enhanced device, it can operate reliably in an industrial environment.
In the early 90s of the last century, similar machines were launched by computer manufacturers in the United States. The equipment is low in price, small in size, reliable in performance, and good in cost performance, and it has continued to deepen in the application field.
Features of fanless embedded industrial computer:
Most of them will use a full set of metal industrial-grade chassis that can enhance the ability to resist electromagnetic interference. In addition to its strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability, this industrial computer product can also run uninterrupted in an outdoor environment under the sun for a long time. Most fanless embedded industrial control opportunities use highly reliable industrial power supplies with voltage and current protection. In addition, there is no fan inside the chassis, and a fanless integrated heat dissipation design is adopted. The innovative multi-faceted heat dissipation design can remove heat in time. The body is also small and exquisite, easy to install and remove. If the machine breaks down, the watchdog timer can be automatically reset.
