What is industrial computing?
Industrial Computers
Industrial computers are computer systems designed specifically for industrial environments to control and monitor industrial processes. They are generally highly reliable, durable, and adaptable to harsh environments.
Features
Durability:
Industrial computers are generally designed to withstand high temperatures, humidity, dust, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.
Long life cycle:
Compared with consumer computers, industrial computers have a longer life cycle to support the long-term use of industrial equipment.
Flexibility and scalability:
Provides a variety of I/O interfaces such as serial ports, USB, Ethernet, CAN bus, etc., to facilitate the connection of various sensors and actuators.
Supports modular design, and hardware upgrades and expansions can be performed according to needs.
Real-time:
Supports real-time operating system (RTOS) to ensure that tasks are executed under strict time constraints.
Low power consumption:
Many industrial computers are designed with low power consumption to meet the requirements of long-term operation in harsh environments.
Applications
Manufacturing automation: used for production line control and monitoring. Process control: used to control complex processes in industries such as chemicals, oil and gas.
Transportation and infrastructure: used for traffic signal control, video surveillance systems and intelligent traffic management.
Energy management: used to monitor and optimize power and renewable energy systems.
