Industrial control computer, also known as industrial control computer, or both industrial control computer and industrial computer can be used. Its full name is Industrial Personal Computer, abbreviated as IPC. The industrial control computer industry is a large industry, and industrial control products can be used in various occasions. Industrial control computers are common.
Many people ask what an industrial control computer is, but in fact, an industrial control computer is a computer. Simply put, computers are divided into three types: personal PCs, servers, and industrial control computers. Industrial control computer is a professional computer designed for industrial production control, used to monitor and control machine equipment, production processes, data parameters, etc. in the industrial production process.
Therefore, compared to personal PCs and servers, the working environment of industrial control computers is very harsh, and the requirements for data security are very high. In order to make the machine work better, special treatments such as reinforcement, dust prevention, moisture prevention, corrosion prevention, and radiation prevention are usually carried out, which are different from ordinary computers. At the same time, industrial control computers have very high requirements for extended functions, and they often need to be customized separately to meet the specific requirements of external devices.
In short, an industrial computer is a special type of computer that has some characteristics compared to a regular personal computer:
1. In order to provide the machine with high anti magnetic, dust-proof, and anti impact capabilities, the chassis of industrial control computers usually adopts a steel structure.
2. Common computer cases have dedicated baseboards with PCI and ISA slots on them.
3. There is a dedicated power supply inside the chassis, which must have strong anti-interference ability.
4. Require the ability to work continuously for long periods of time, possibly for several months or a whole year.
5. Usually, standard chassis that are easy to install (such as 1U, 2U, 3U, 4U, 4U is more common) are used
PS: 1, 1U is 4.445cm. U is a unit that represents the external dimensions of a server and is an abbreviation for unit. The detailed dimensions are determined by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA), an industry group.
2. The so-called "1U PC server" refers to a product that meets EIA specifications in appearance and has a thickness of 4.445cm. Products designed to fit into 19 inch cabinets are generally referred to as rack servers.
3. Industrial computer is a low-cost server platform with high availability and density, designed specifically for special application industries and high-density computer environments. They can boot their own operating systems, such as Windows/NT/2000/2003, Linux, Solaris, etc., through local hard drives, similar to independent servers. In this mode, each motherboard runs its own system, serving designated different user groups without any association with each other. However, we can still use system software to assemble these motherboards into a server cluster.
