Industrial computer refers to the main computer used in industry, and the continuous development of embedded technology makes the embedded industrial computer more widely used and can adapt to a wider range. At this time, choose the appropriate embedded industrial computer It seems particularly important. In the face of the intricate products on the market, what factors do users need to consider?
1. Use environment requirements
The embedded industrial computer is different from ordinary special-purpose computers because it is suitable for harsh environments such as ultra-low temperature, high dust, and high vibration. Therefore, when choosing an industrial computer, you should check in detail whether its parameters can meet the needs of your own application environment. Such as operating temperature, storage temperature, etc.
2, choose according to the space size of the industrial computer
Embedded industrial computers usually need to be installed on a rack or other narrow spaces, so the size of the installation is the main limiting factor. According to the installation size, the height of the industrial computer ranges from 1U to 7U (1U=4.45cm). At the same time, in the past ten years, a smaller embedded industrial computer has been developed, its length is only more than ten centimeters, and its functions are more complex. Therefore, first of all, product specifications should be selected according to the size of the site installation.
3. According to the feasible installation method on site
can be divided into wall hanging, rack, desktop, embedded, but also to consider the outlet method to avoid wiring difficulties, such as front outlet, rear outlet, etc.
4, technical parameters
Just like choosing a personal computer, buying an industrial computer also needs to look at the configuration: processor (processing speed), memory, memory, software, etc. Which configuration to choose for each industrial computer needs to be considered comprehensively according to the equipment used on the site. The configuration is too high to give full play to the efficiency of the industrial computer, and it will also cause waste. The configuration is too low, it may reduce the operating speed and functions of the site, but also reduce the production efficiency, so the technical parameters of the industrial computer are indeed a very important consideration.
5, scalability
Consider the interface type of industrial computer, whether there are RS-232/485, CPCI, USB, PROFINET and other interfaces. If you are not buying the entire industrial computer, but an assembly machine, you should pay attention to the interface when choosing the circuit board.
6. Brand
The stability, reliability, and quality of the industrial computer directly affect the success or failure of the entire project, so the brand is also a very important consideration. The main products of Touch Think Smart are industrial PCs, industrial tablet computers and so on. Products are widely used in medical, military, electric power, communications, financial terminals, smart instruments, network/information security equipment and other industrial automation control fields. We can fully meet the needs of customers.
