Industrial computer is industry control computer, English or IPC (IndustrialPersonalComputer), is a kind of the bus structure, the production process and the mechanical and electrical testing equipment, process equipment and control tools. IPC has important computer attributes and characteristics, such as computer CPU, hard disk, memory, peripherals and interfaces, and has an operating system, control network and protocol, computing power, friendly man-machine interface.
At present, domestic industrial PC supply channels mainly come from Taiwan and mainland Chinese manufacturers. After several years of market struggle, foreign products (such as Radisys, Rockwell, Intel, etc.) have completely withdrawn from the domestic market due to high cost, high price and difficult service. At present, the domestic IT industry research and development, processing technology strength continues to improve; All kinds of chips, components and production equipment can be purchased equally in the international market. The portability of software resources can save a lot of manpower and material resources.
IPC is the product of the combination of computer technology and automatic control technology. It is not only an important category of computer, but also an important technical means to realize the automation of industrial production, achieve high quality, high yield, low consumption and improve the economic benefits of industrial enterprises. Developing IPC is of great significance to realizing industrial modernization, promoting industrial informatization and revitalizing economy.
In these favorable conditions, some domestic manufacturers seize the opportunity to rise rapidly, using the local comprehensive competitive advantage to gradually squeeze out foreign brands in the domestic industrial control market. Some enterprises with an annual growth rate of more than 100% of the assets, stand in the domestic industrial control market, and has successfully entered the international industrial control market. At present, the main industrial PC manufacturers in the domestic market are Taiwan's Yanhua, Panyi, Volkswagen and the mainland's Yanxiang, North China, Yanyue, etc. The development momentum of IPC products of Yanxiang and other units is strong. The embedded products of Shengbo have entered the international market and become the supporting products of Siemens, Alstom and other European companies. The VXI and PXI products of the aerospace TT&C company have become the ground TT&C products in the national defense industry. The embedded IPC, fanless BOX, industrial tablet computer and other series of products of Yanyue Company also occupy a place in the market. In China's Taiwan counterparts, in addition to Advantech, Pan-Yi, Linghua Technology Group's CompactPCI, PXI series of products also frequently appear in the market.
Industrial control computer in China since the early 1960 s, after nearly 40 years of history, from the transistor industrial control computer to the small and medium scale integrated circuit industry control computer, and today's large scale integrated circuit industry control computer, has experienced the change of the three generations, smaller volume, function is more and more strong. In the early 1960s, there was no unified standard for industrial control computers, and software programming was very primitive machine instruction programming. In the 1980 s, the development of industrial control computer was a big step forward, no matter from the aspects of hardware or the software has a larger development, appeared the STD bus industrial control computer, VME bus industrial control computer, etc., in the industrial control configuration software packages, the user can own configuration, composition of control system. With the rapid development and popularization of computer technology, data acquisition system has been widely used rapidly, infiltrating into various fields such as geology, medical equipment, communication and so on, providing a good foundation for obtaining information.
The application of this system in industrial computer in the production process can realize the collection, monitoring and recording of various parameters in the field, and improve the quality of products. With the development of industrial computer, the data acquisition system can more accurately reflect the information of the site, and provide more detailed data for the decision maker, so as to adopt a more satisfactory solution to the actual situation
