IPC is an industrial pc designed according to the characteristics and requirements of industrial application.It is used to realize the automation of production process and scheduling management, so as to reduce labor intensity and improve the working environment. Industrial personal computers often run in harsh environments and have high requirements for data security. They usually have the characteristics of strong environmental adaptability, high reliability, good process input/output matching, and good real-time performance.
1. Strong adaptability to the environment
The industrial environment is very harsh, and the electromagnetic interference is serious. Therefore, the industrial pc is required to have strong environmental adaptability, such as high requirements for the range of temperature and humidity; it must have the ability to prevent dust, moisture, vibration and shock; it must have good electromagnetic compatibility and high anti-interference ability.
2. High reliability
The industrial PC is usually used to control the uninterrupted production process. It is not allowed to stop for maintenance during operation. Once a failure occurs, it will lead to quality accidents and even production accidents. Therefore, the industrial computer is required to have high reliability, ensure that the mean time between failures (MTBF) reaches tens of thousands of hours, and at the same time minimize the fault repair time (MTTR) to achieve high operating efficiency.
3. The process input/output matching is better
The industrial computer should have rich and multi-functional process input/output supporting templates, such as analog, switch, frequency and other input/output templates. It has various types of signal conditioning functions, such as isolated and non-isolated signal conditioning; various types of hot-spot couples, thermal resistance signal input adjustment, voltage and current signal input/output signal conditioning, etc.
4. Good real-time performance
The industrial computer controls and monitors the production process in real time, so it is required to respond to the changes of various parameters of the control object in real time. When there is a deviation or fault in the process parameters, the industrial control function can respond in time, and can implement alarm and processing.
