What is an Industrial Panel PC? Industrial Tablet PC is an industrial control computer for industrial use, its basic performance and compatibility with commercial computers, but the industrial Tablet PC focuses more on the stability in different environments, such as beverage production line control, automotive production line control, etc., and requires stability in harsh environments, such as dust-proof, water-proof, anti-static and so on. Industrial tablet PC does not require the current high performance, only to meet the requirements of the system, the need to meet the reliability requirements of industrial environments and stability, otherwise used in the production line in case of computer crash, it may cause serious losses, so the standard value of the industrial tablet PC requirements must meet the strict specifications and expandability.
What is an industrial computer? Industrial computers are industrial control computers for industrial use, their basic performance and compatibility with commercial computers, but industrial computers are more focused on stability in different environments, of which the micro-embedded industrial tablet PCs are representative. Provides a good solution for human-machine interface and production process control. Industrial computers are mostly industry-specific specifications, not standardized products, so there is a compatibility problem between systems. At the same time, the product must meet the customer's special needs of the working environment, such as temperature (humidity), waterproof (dust), voltage stabilization system, uninterruptible power system requirements for special design, adjustments, so the manufacturer must have a considerable R & D, production, testing, marketing and system integration capabilities, with a certain technical threshold.
What is an industrial computer? Industrial Personal Computer (Industrial Personal Computer-IPC) is a ruggedized and enhanced personal computer, which can be used as an industrial controller to operate reliably in industrial environments. As early as the early 80's, the United States AD company launched a similar IPC industrial control machine, followed by the United States IBM officially launched industrial personal computer IBM7532. due to the IPC's reliable performance, rich software, low price, and in the industrial control machine in the emergence of the later, the application is becoming more and more widespread. At present, IPC has been widely used in communications, industrial control site, road and bridge tolls, medical, environmental protection and all aspects of people's lives.
Technical characteristics of IPC:
1. It adopts all-steel industrial chassis in line with "EIA" standard, which enhances the ability of anti-electromagnetic interference.
2. Adopting bus structure and modularization design technology, CPU and each functional module use the plug-in board structure with soft locking of pressure bar, which improves shock and vibration resistance.
3. the chassis is equipped with dual fans, positive pressure convection exhaust, and equipped with dust filters to prevent dust.
4. equipped with highly reliable industrial power supply, and over-voltage, over-current protection.
5. power supply and keyboard with electronic lock switch, can prevent illegal open, close and illegal keyboard input.
6. with self-diagnostic function.
7. optional I / O template as needed.
8. with a "watchdog" timer, in the event of failure, without human intervention and automatic reset.
9. good openness, good compatibility, absorbing all the functions of the PC, you can directly run a variety of PC application software.
10. can be configured with a real-time operating system to facilitate multi-task scheduling and operation.
11. can use passive motherboard (backplane), convenient for system upgrade.
The main structure of IPC:
1. all-steel chassis: IPC's all-steel chassis is designed according to the standard, anti-shock, anti-vibration, anti-electromagnetic interference, and can be installed with the PC-bus-compatible passive motherboard.
2. passive baseboard: passive baseboard slots by the ISA and PCI bus multiple slots, ISA or PCI slot number and location according to the need for a certain choice, the board for the four-layer structure, the middle two layers were the ground layer and the power layer, this structure can weaken the board logic signals interfere with each other and reduce the power supply impedance. The bottom board can be plugged into a variety of boards and cards, including CPU cards, display cards, control cards, I/O cards and so on.
3. Industrial power supply: AT switching power supply, the average trouble-free operation time reaches 250,000 hours.
4. CPU card: IPC's CPU card has various kinds, according to the size can be divided into long card and half-length card, according to the processor can be divided into 386, 486, 586, PII, PIII motherboards, the user can depending on their own needs optional. Its main features are: operating temperature 0-600C; equipped with a "watchdog" timer; low power consumption, the maximum when 5V/2.5A.
5. other accessories: IPC's other accessories are basically compatible with the PC, mainly CPU, memory, graphics cards, hard disk, floppy drive, keyboard, mouse, CD-ROM drive, monitor and so on.
