Comparison between embedded industrial computer and ordinary industrial computer

Embedded Industrial Computer is a compact computer specially designed for industrial sites, is a reinforced enhanced industrial computer, it can be used as an industrial controller in the industrial environment reliable operation. Common embedded industrial computer include box type industrial computer, fanless industrial computer and so on. Embedded industrial computer is widely used in industrial computer because of its reliable performance, fanless structure, small size and low price. Especially in recent years, with the development of embedded technology, embedded industrial computer is also developing rapidly, soon applied to various fields, and occupy an increasingly important position.

So compared with the ordinary industrial computer, what is the difference between embedded industrial computer? What are the advantages?

First, the advantages of embedded industrial computer in product performance

1, the function of the product is well adapted, and the function of the tested and controlled object is almost completely matched, with a certain expansion but not the main purpose of expansion, so the product has a high cost performance;

2, device miniaturization is one of the main embodiment, reflected in the compact design, structural design has no standard to refer to, to fully consider the external interface and reasonable use of installation space;

3, high reliability requirements, on the basis of electrical function to meet the reliability of the design, to carefully consider the heat dissipation design, electromagnetic compatibility design, dust and waterproof design, anti-vibration design and other reliability design content;

4, ultralow power fanless design for the mainstream. Due to the limited heat dissipation capacity of the device after miniaturization, and the MTBF (mean fault-free working time) requirements of the embedded system are also very high, especially in unattended applications, ultra-low power fanless design becomes a must.

Second, the difference between embedded industrial computer and ordinary industrial computer

First of all, the position of the embedded industrial computer in the whole measurement and control system is often at the front end, and the upward connection of the embedded industrial computer is often the ordinary industrial computer, the ordinary industrial computer's computing power, software resources, database support and other aspects are difficult to reach the embedded industrial computer;

Secondly, in the construction of large-scale system, the system expansion ability and network communication ability of ordinary industrial computer are also difficult to replace the embedded industrial computer.

In addition, in the fields of visual design, process monitoring, data statistics, scientific computing, prototype simulation design, and ring simulation, ordinary industrial computers have inherent advantages.
