Industrial PCs: The Supervisors of Industrial Machines and Systems
Industrial PCs are robust systems that function as supervisors and/or controllers for industrial machines and plants. They are used in various fields, as they are designed for use in both controlled environments and environments with extreme conditions.
Industrial PCs: A Detailed Look
Industrial PCs are computers with hardware and technical specifications designed and manufactured for 24/7 operation. These PCs are designed for use in contexts where environmental conditions can be difficult and the requirements for reliability and durability are high.
Industrial PCs are manufactured with high-quality components, allowing them to withstand extreme temperatures, dust, humidity, corrosion, vibrations, and mechanical shocks, making them much more resistant than standard office computers.
Industrial PCs usually include specialized components, such as industrial input/output (I/O) cards, which allow them to interface with sensors, actuators, and other automation devices used in industrial environments. A further added value of industrial PCs is that they have been specifically designed to be easily integrated into the production environment and are capable of collecting, processing, and sharing data by leveraging the power of the cloud and wireless connectivity.
Industrial PCs: Key Features
Industrial PCs possess several characteristics that make them effective tools. Let's look at them in detail:
Resistance: Industrial PCs are designed to withstand constant vibrations, shocks, impacts, and extreme temperatures during the development phase. For this reason, industrial PCs must not have moving parts that are particularly prone to failure. To understand how much and what a PC resists and if it is suitable for the environment in which it will operate, the IP code of a product helps us, defining the degree of protection of electrical device enclosures against the penetration of external agents;
Fanless Design: Most industrial PCs are fanless, meaning they are without cooling fans or ventilation holes to dissipate the heat generated by the processor. Heat is dispersed through the case, making the PC silent and operational even in humid or dirty environments;
Lifecycle: Industrial PCs have a much longer lifecycle than traditional PCs: a duration of at least 5-7 years is guaranteed. Furthermore, the availability of the same components is ensured through dedicated product lines and long-term support guarantees;
24/7 Operation: Industrial PCs are used as controllers for production plants; their hardware is designed to prevent overvoltages, reducing the risk of machine downtime and production data loss while ensuring uninterrupted functionality;
Reduced Consumption: 24/7 operation does not mean high costs; on the contrary, most industrial PCs have very low consumption, generally between 65W and 120W.
Industrial PCs: The Various Types
There are several types of industrial PCs on the market; among the main solutions, we find:
Rack-mount Industrial PCs: These can be fixed to walls or mounted in cabinets;
Industrial PCs mounted directly on equipment: For example, touch screen PCs;
Panel PCs, or Industrial Panel PCs, can be installed in the cutout of an enclosure. They are designed for complex industrial applications in harsher environments. They are generally fanless thanks to passive cooling;
Integrated Industrial Systems, or Embedded Industrial PCs, have a small footprint and are a perfect solution for tight spaces. They are solutions designed for industrial automation. They allow for customization ranging from low-power platforms to the latest generation high-performance architectures in fanless versions.
