Do you know the principle and difference between industrial all in one pc and ordinary computer?

Is the working principle of the IPC the same as that of the ordinary computer? Many friends who do not know the industrial control industry often ask this question. In fact, the working principle of the IPC and the ordinary computer is exactly the same, but in practical applications, the two cannot replace each other, and there are some differences between them.
Many people do not know the difference between the industrial control all-in-one computer and the ordinary computer. Now let's introduce the intelligent editor.
1. Definition of IPC and general computer:
1. Ordinary computer, namely "personal computer", originates from IBM desktop computer model computer in 1978. It is a personal computer that can run independently and complete specific functions. Personal computers can work independently without sharing the processing, disk, printer and other resources of other computers. Now the term personal computer refers to all personal computers, such as desktop computers, notebook computers, etc.
2. The industrial control integrated computer, fully known as the industrial control computer, is a reinforced personal computer. Generally speaking, it is a computer specially designed for industrial field, which can be used as an industrial controller to operate reliably in industrial environment. Its main structure and working principle are the same as those of ordinary computers.
3. The working principles of the two are exactly the same, but the optimization of the structure and performance has also changed due to different use directions.
2.Application fields of industrial computer and ordinary computer:
Generally speaking, ordinary computers are mainly used in ordinary personal or business fields. In principle, the best use environment is in the home and office.
At present, the industrial control integrated machine has been widely used in all aspects of industry and people's life. For example, industrial control sites, road and bridge tolls, medical care, environmental protection, big data applications, intelligent transportation, security monitoring, voice interaction, automatic terminal services, CNC machine tools, subways, finance, petrochemical, metallurgy, etc.

3. Advantages comparison between industrial control integrated machine and ordinary computer:

1. Ordinary computers are mainly of civil grade, and the requirements for physical environment are not very high. The industrial control all-in-one machine is generally used in places where the environment is relatively harsh, and has higher requirements for data security. Therefore, the industrial control all-in-one machine usually has special designs such as reinforcement, dust prevention, moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, radiation protection, etc.
2. Functions: The industrial control integrated machine has specific needs and functions, while the ordinary computer is mainly used to meet the needs of the public and has a variety of functions.
3. Stability and reliability: The industrial control integrated machine has very high requirements for stability. The functions emphasized by ordinary computers are satisfied, the performance can be avant-garde, and the stability is far less than the industrial control integrated machine. The service life depends on the configuration of the product. In terms of reliability, the industrial control all-in-one machine has the ability of rapid diagnosis and maintainability in dust, smoke, high/low temperature, humidity, vibration, corrosion and maintenance. The MTTF (average time before failure) is more than 100000 hours, while the MTTF (average time before failure) of ordinary computers is only 10000~15000 hours.
4. Heat dissipation scheme: the main board of the industrial control integrated machine emphasizes heat dissipation efficiency, while the ordinary computer focuses on appearance.
5. Real time performance: the industrial control integrated machine carries out real-time online detection and control of the industrial production process, gives rapid response to changes in working conditions, timely conducts collection and output adjustment (watchdog function, which is not available in ordinary computers), and automatically resets in case of distress to ensure the normal operation of the system.
6. Expandability: The industrial control all-in-one computer has a strong input and output function because of the base plate+CPU card structure. More than 20 boards can be expanded. It can be connected with various peripherals, boards and controllers, video monitoring systems, vehicle detectors, etc. on the industrial site to complete various tasks.
7. Compatibility: Industrial control integration can simultaneously use ISA, computer I and other resources, and support various operating systems, multi language assembly, and multi task operating systems.
4. Price comparison between industrial control all-in-one computers and ordinary computers: industrial control all-in-one computers are of specific demand, and the production volume is not much. Industrial control all-in-one computers at the same level are more expensive than ordinary computers in terms of price. Most of the time, ordinary computers rely on price.
5. Optimization direction:
1. Core functions: ordinary computers are optimized for performance and price; The optimization direction of industrial control integrated machine is to be resistant to harsh environment and high reliability.
2. Structure: Ordinary computers are optimized to be easy to assemble and use; The industrial control integrated machine is easy to maintain and resistant to shock and vibration.
3. Power supply: ordinary computers are quiet, efficient and low-cost; The IPC is reliable, durable and even redundant.
4. Storage: ordinary computers are high speed and low price, and industrial control all-in-one computers are highly reliable, fault-tolerant, and data can be recovered.
5. Appearance: ordinary computers are beautiful, portable and economical; The industrial control all-in-one machine is solid and firm, with mounting and fixing devices, shock absorption design, interference prevention, dust prevention and even explosion-proof.
