{"id":363,"count":8,"description":"<strong>Industrial PCs: The Supervisors of Industrial Machines and Systems<\/strong>\n<strong>Industrial PCs are robust systems<\/strong> that function as supervisors and\/or controllers for industrial machines and plants. They are <strong>used in various fields<\/strong>, as they are designed for use in both controlled environments and <strong>environments with extreme conditions<\/strong>. \n<strong>Industrial PCs: A Detailed Look <\/strong>\n<strong>Industrial PCs<\/strong> are computers with hardware and technical specifications designed and manufactured for <strong>24\/7 operation<\/strong>. These PCs are designed for <strong>use in contexts where environmental conditions<\/strong> can be <strong>difficult<\/strong> and the requirements for reliability and durability are high. \n\nIndustrial PCs are <strong>manufactured<\/strong> <strong>w<\/strong><strong>ith high-quality components<\/strong>, allowing them to withstand extreme temperatures, dust, humidity, corrosion, vibrations, and mechanical shocks, making them <strong>much more resistant<\/strong> than standard office computers.\n\n<strong>Industrial PCs<\/strong> 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 <strong>specifically designed to be easily integrated<\/strong> <strong>into the production environment<\/strong> and are capable of collecting, processing, and sharing data by leveraging the power of the cloud and wireless connectivity. \n<strong>Industrial PCs: Key Features<\/strong>\nIndustrial PCs possess several characteristics that make them effective tools. Let's look at them in detail: \n\n \t<strong>Resistance: <\/strong>Industrial PCs are <strong>designed to withstand constant vibrations<\/strong>, <strong>shocks<\/strong>, <strong>impacts<\/strong>, and <strong>extreme<\/strong> <strong>temperatures<\/strong> 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 <strong>a PC resists and if it is suitable for the environment in which it will operate<\/strong>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Codice_IP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IP code<\/a> of a product helps us, defining the degree of protection of electrical device enclosures against the penetration of external agents;  \n \t<strong>Fanless Design: <\/strong>Most industrial PCs are <strong>fanless<\/strong>, meaning they are <strong>without cooling fans<\/strong> or ventilation holes to dissipate the heat generated by the processor. <strong>Heat<\/strong> is <strong>dispersed through the case<\/strong>, making the PC silent and operational even in humid or dirty environments; \n \t<strong>Lifecycle: <\/strong>Industrial PCs have a <strong>much longer lifecycle<\/strong> than traditional PCs: a duration of at least <strong>5-7 years<\/strong> is guaranteed. Furthermore, the availability of the same components is ensured through dedicated product lines and long-term support guarantees; \n \t<strong>24\/7 Operation:<\/strong> Industrial PCs are used as controllers for production plants; their <strong>hardware<\/strong> is <strong>designed to prevent overvoltages<\/strong>, reducing the risk of machine downtime and production data loss while <strong>ensuring<\/strong> <strong>uninterrupted functionality<\/strong>;\n \t<strong>Reduced Consumption: <\/strong>24\/7 operation does not mean high costs; on the contrary, <strong>most industrial PCs have very low<\/strong> <strong>consumption<\/strong>, generally between 65W and 120W.\n\n<strong>Industrial PCs: The Various Types<\/strong>\n<strong> <\/strong>\n\nThere are several types of industrial PCs on the market; among the main solutions, we find:\n\n \t<strong>Rack-mount Industrial PCs: <\/strong>These can be fixed to walls or mounted in cabinets;\n \t<strong>Industrial PCs mounted directly on equipment<\/strong>: For example, touch screen PCs;\n \t<strong>Panel PCs, or Industrial Panel PCs<\/strong>, 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;  \n \t<strong>Integrated Industrial Systems<\/strong>, or <strong>Embedded Industrial PCs<\/strong>, 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.  \n","link":"https:\/\/sensorline.biz\/en\/industrial-pcs\/","name":"Industrial PCs","slug":"industrial-pcs","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sensorline.biz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sensorline.biz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sensorline.biz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/sensorline.biz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
