Industrial computers, also known as industrial hosts, are mainly used in industrial sites and can adapt to different harsh working environments. What are the components of the industrial computer? Next, let's take a look at what parts the industrial computer consists of.
01 Motherboard
A motherboard, also known as a motherboard, system board, or motherboard, is one of the most basic and important components of a computer. A good industrial computer, the motherboard is particularly important, and the requirements on the motherboard are more stringent than those of commercial use. The industrial control motherboard uses a low-power chip, which is used to save energy consumption and high temperature problems caused by long-term operation, and is resistant to moisture and high temperature, and has strong ability to adapt to the environment.
02 CPU
CPU is the heart of the industrial computer, collectively known as the central processing unit, as the computing and control core of the computer system, is the final execution unit of information processing and program operation. It handles the information processing and data computing of the computer. The quality of the CPU is directly related to the running speed of the industrial computer, and it is an important indicator to judge the performance of the industrial computer.
03 Memory
Memory is one of the important components of industrial computer, also known as internal memory and main memory, which is the bridge between the CPU and the hard disk, and its size also directly affects the data exchange speed between the CPU and the memory. It stores the data and programs used at the time during operation, and if it is interrupted by external reasons, such as power outages, it will lead to the loss of data and other information.
04 Hard Disk
Hard disks are used to store computer data and data, and are an important part of external storage data. Hard disks are used to store data and data for a long time, and can perform operations such as reading and writing. Ordinary office computers have a good environment in the process of use, so they use hard disks that read and write data in the way of magnetic plate rotation. The working environment of the industrial computer is harsh and complex, and the temperature and other environments are high, so the solid state drive and direct memory chip are used.
05 Chassis
As the main carrier of industrial control accessories, the main role of the chassis is to fix and protect various accessories. The size of the chassis directly affects the expandability and working performance of the industrial computer. The large chassis can be expanded with other hardware and also has better working performance, and most of the chassis on the market are black and white.
06 IPC power supply
Generally, the standard power supply is 300W, if you want to add a GPU graphics card, it is recommended to upgrade to at least 400W.
07 Sound card
The sound card is the main component of a multimedia computer, and it contains the hardware needed to record and play back sound.
08 graphics card
The main function of the graphics card is to process the process and results of the program according to the instructions and relevant data provided by the CPU when the program is running, and then convert it into a signal that can be accepted by the display, and then send it to the screen for display. The graphics card is mainly composed of several important parts, such as display chip, display memory, display BIOS, RAMDAC (random storage digital-to-analog conversion memory).

Thermal analysis of Advantech's industrial computer
According to statistics, dust, heat dissipation, and static electricity are the three main factors that cause computer instability. However, due to the different use environments, commercial PCs only comply with AT, ATX, and even the latest BTX architecture in terms of heat dissipation, and the dust and static electricity problems are not prominent in ordinary use environments.
