Nowadays, the era of Industry 4.0 has arrived, and industrial computers have been widely used in metallurgy, transportation, finance, manufacturing and military industries. This article first introduces what an industrial computer is, what is important to choose an industrial computer, and then expounds the product introduction of Advantech industrial computer, the characteristics and advantages of Advantech industrial computer, and finally introduces the precautions for the use of Advantech industrial computer.
What is an industrial computer
Industrial personal computer (IPC) is an industrial control computer, which is a general term for tools that use bus structure to detect and control the production process, mechanical and electrical equipment, and process equipment. Industrial computers have important computer attributes and characteristics, such as computer CPU, hard disk, memory, peripherals and interfaces, and have operating systems, control networks and protocols, computing power, and friendly human-machine interfaces. The products and technologies of the industrial control industry are very special, which are intermediate products, and are reliable, embedded and intelligent industrial computers for other industries.
What is the important thing to choose an IPC?
1. Of course, it is the configuration and development software of the industrial control motherboard, the industrial control motherboard is the core part of the industrial control mechanism, and the quality of the industrial computer motherboard directly affects the performance of the industrial computer, so the choice of industrial computer is first to choose a motherboard that is suitable for you. Secondly, choose a matching host computer software. The reputation of Advantech's industrial computer in the industry naturally does not need to be said by the editor
2. Advantech's original industrial computer provides the service of shipping the whole system, the whole system includes: chassis, motherboard, processor, memory, operating system, other peripherals and other combinations, you can choose different operating systems and memory according to your needs.
3. Advantech industrial computers are specially designed for industrial applications, suitable for all kinds of harsh environments, 3~20 slots provide high scalability, suitable for optical inspection, production line monitoring, factory automation, enterprise servers and other special applications that require high stability and high performance.
When it comes to the industrial control industry, many people first think of Advantech, the big brother of the industry. That's right, Advantech Industrial Control is a well-known brand in China and even in the world, and their products are not worth saying about quality.
Advantech IPC introduction
Advantech is a global leader in electronic platform services, and since its inception in 1983, Advantech has been committed to innovation, development, and delivery of high-quality/high-performance electronic products and services in the field of industrial computers and automation. After more than 20 years of development, Advantech has accumulated rich experience in the electronic platform services market and is leading the way in industrial development, providing a full suite of hardware/software/customer service/global back-office support and e-commerce infrastructure solutions to users around the world. Advantech will continue to assist system integrators to realize the added value of their solutions and services.
Advantech's full name is AdvantechIndustrialPersonalComputer. is a ruggedized, enhanced personal computer that can operate reliably in industrial environments as an industrial controller.
Features of Advantech's IPC:
1. 90% of Advantech's industrial computers have super long-term working ability.
2. The chassis of Advantech's IPC is made of steel structure, which has high anti-magnetic, dust-proof and impact-proof capabilities.
3. There is a special power supply in the chassis, and the power supply has strong anti-interference ability.
4. Advantech's IPC has a dedicated baseplate in the chassis, and there are PCI and ISA slots on the baseboard.
5. Generally, a standard chassis that is easy to install is used (4U standard chassis is more common).
Advantages of Advantech's industrial computers
1. Reliability:
Industrial PCs have the ability to perform high temperatures in dust, smoke, high/low temperatures, moisture, vibration, corrosion, and fast diagnostics and maintainability.
2. Real-time:
Industrial PC detects and controls the industrial production process online in real time, responds quickly to changes in working conditions, and collects and outputs in a timely manner.
3. Expandability:
Due to the use of the CPU card structure of the bottom plate, the industrial PC has a strong input and output function, and can be connected with various peripherals and boards such as lane controllers, video surveillance systems, vehicle detectors, etc. on the industrial site to complete various tasks.
4. Software and hardware compatibility:
It can use ISA, PCI and PICMG resources at the same time, and support various operating systems, multiple programming languages, and multi-task operating systems, making full use of the software and hardware resources accumulated by commercial PCs.
5. System monitoring and self-reset:
Today, circuits are an indispensable part of industrial PC design. It can quickly alarm the system in the event of a failure, and automatically resume the operation of the system without human intervention.
Precautions for the use of Advantech's IPC
1. Before using Advantech's industrial computer, do not disassemble the industrial computer at will, if there is a failure, you should first refer to the common faults and troubleshooting methods of the industrial computer to solve the problem. When the IPC is in normal use, remember not to move the IPC to avoid damaging the hard disk due to vibration. Do not wipe the screen with regular tissues or cloths, and do not touch the screen with sharp objects such as fingers or pens to avoid scratching the monitor. It is best to dispose of it with a display-specific wipe.
2. You must use the operating system and related application software with genuine licenses. If you need to install other application software, please read the software manual carefully to confirm whether the software is compatible with Advantech's operating system and whether your IPC hardware configuration meets the requirements of the software for IPC hardware.
3. In order to ensure that Advantech's IPC has a good heat dissipation effect, the dust sponge of the IPC should be cleaned regularly. At the same time, in order to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the industrial computer, the hard disk should be cleaned up and defragmented regularly. In order to prevent data loss caused by unexpected failures, you should also regularly back up the important data in the industrial computer. In addition, if you are using Advantech's IPC that needs to be connected to the Internet or LAN, in order to ensure that the IPC can operate reliably, it is best to install anti-virus software and keep it updated regularly to prevent slow system response and control errors caused by virus attacks.
Well, the above is what are the advantages of Advantech's industrial computer and Advantech's product introduction, I believe you already know that you almost understand, if you still have any questions, you can contact our customer service! |
