With the emergence of new technologies and applications such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence equipment, and autonomous driving, industrial computers are also constantly being upgraded, and their characteristics are becoming more and more abundant, constantly making different needs have suitable industrial computers to match. So, what is an industrial computer? What are the characteristics of industrial computers compared with traditional computers?
What is an industrial computer?
Industrial computer, is the abbreviation of "industrial control computer", is a microcomputer composed of large-scale integrated circuits, is specially designed for the industrial site of the computer, with the computer's motherboard, CPU, hard disk, memory, external interface, operating system, computing power, man-machine interface and other attributes and characteristics, is widely used in the control site, road and bridge toll, medical, environmental protection, intelligent transportation, communications, monitoring, CNC machine tools, finance, aerospace and many other fields, so that all walks of life various automation, intelligent needs can be met.
What are the characteristics of industrial computers compared with traditional computers?
Compared with traditional PC computers, industrial computers are more used in harsh environments, so industrial computers have more stringent requirements in terms of easy maintenance, heat dissipation, dustproof, product cycle, size, etc., therefore, it has created the unique characteristics of industrial computers.
1. High reliability
Industrial computers are often used to control the continuous production process, and are not allowed to stop for maintenance during operation, and a failure will lead to quality accidents and even production accidents. Therefore, most industrial computers will use high-quality hardware such as chips, CPUs, multi-core processors, and graphics cards to improve the reliability and stability of industrial computers and reduce the failure rate and maintenance time of industrial computers.
2. Good real-time performance
Because the industrial computer must respond to the changes of various parameters of the control object in real time, in order to control and detect the production process in real time, when the process parameters deviate or fail, it must be able to respond in real time and alarm and deal with it in real time. Therefore, the industrial computer will be equipped with a real-time multi-task operating system and an interrupt system to ensure the smooth development of the operation.
3. Strong environmental adaptability
Due to the harsh environment of the industrial site, most of the industrial computers have ultra-high-quality hardware parts and external packaging materials, have strong environmental adaptability, can resist high temperature, cold and humidity and other harsh environments, and have the characteristics of dustproof, anti-corrosion, anti-vibration, and strong impact resistance.
4. Abundant input and output templates
The industrial computer also has a rich multi-functional input and output supporting template such as analog, digital, and pulse quantity, which can ensure that the industrial computer can be matched with the process instrument, and can deal with various signals, so that the control and detection process is more intelligent, which is conducive to improving production and work efficiency.
5. Redundancy
In the case of high requirements for reliability, people require industrial computers to have dual working and redundant systems, including dual control stations, dual operation stations, dual network communications, dual power supply systems, dual power supplies, etc., to ensure that the system works uninterrupted for a long time.

Advantech's IPC - Analysis of the causes of the "crash" of the IPC and countermeasures
1. Hardware reasons
When the industrial computer processes too many field signals transmitted by the PLC, the CPU frequency of the industrial computer is low and the memory is small, so it cannot identify and process so many signals at the same time, which makes these signals "crash" and cause the industrial computer to "crash".
Countermeasures: due to industrial control ...
