Advantages of embedded industrial computer in product performance

Embedded industrial control computer is a compact computer specially designed for industrial site. Industrial control computers often operate in harsh environments and have higher requirements for data security. Therefore, industrial control computers usually have special designs such as reinforcement, dust prevention, moisture prevention, corrosion prevention and radiation protection. What is the difference between embedded industrial computer and ordinary industrial computer? Where are the advantages?

1、 Advantages of embedded industrial computer in product performance

1. The product has good function adaptability, almost completely matches the function of the tested controlled object, and has certain scalability, but does not take expansion as the main purpose, so the product has high cost performance;

2. The miniaturization of the device is one of the main manifestations, which is reflected in the compact design. There is no standard for the structural design, so the reasonable use of external interface and installation space should be fully considered;

3. High reliability requirements. On the basis of electrical functions meeting the reliability design, the reliability design contents such as heat dissipation design, electromagnetic compatibility design, dust prevention and waterproof design, and vibration resistance design should be carefully considered;

4. The ultra-low power fanless design is the mainstream. Due to the small size of the device, the cooling capacity is limited, and the embedded system MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) requirements are also very high. Especially in unattended applications, the ultra-low power fanless design becomes necessary.

2、 The difference between embedded industrial computer and ordinary industrial computer

First of all, the position of the embedded industrial control computer in the whole measurement and control system is often at the front end. The upward connection of the embedded industrial control computer is often beyond the reach of the ordinary industrial control computer in terms of computing ability, software resources, database support, etc;

Secondly, in the construction of large-scale systems, the system expansion ability and network communication ability of embedded industrial control computers are also hard to replace by ordinary industrial control computers;

In addition, in the fields of visual design, process monitoring, data statistics, scientific calculation, prototype simulation design and in-loop simulation, embedded industrial control computers have inherent advantages.
