Industrial embedded computer (IPC) is a computer specially designed for industrial control. It is used to monitor and control the machine equipment, production process and data parameters used in the production process. Industrial control products and technologies are very special, belong to intermediate products, is to provide other industries with reliable, embedded, intelligent industrial computers.
IPC often runs in a harsh environment, so a IPC is usually designed for reinforcement, dust, moisture, corrosion and radiation protection. The data security and expansibility of IPC are very high. The interface design needs to meet the specific external equipment, so in most cases, IPC needs to be customized separately to meet the requirements.
Due to the development of technology and the type of enterprise, the application of industrial control computer is more and more extensive. Once upon a time, industrial control computers were mainly used in the measurement, control, management and other aspects of industrial production processes. Nowadays, their applications are not limited to industry only. They have been gradually moving from power, industry, and other fields to robotics and rail transit. Agricultural equipment, energy conservation and new energy and many other areas of expansion and extension.
At present, the development of industrial control computer in China has made obvious progress in technology and application. With domestic enterprises taking the initiative in the market and gaining a certain scale in the market, the development of industrial control computer in our country is gradually entering the accelerating period of development. In the future, with the value of industrial control computer continuously prominent, and the industry development needs to be raised again, China will also usher in more new technologies, new products and new applications, together to promote the development of the industry towards maturity.
