Embedded industrial computers, more modernly known as box-type computers or fanless industrial computers, are compact computers specifically designed for industrial environments.
Industrial PCs often operate in harsh environments and have higher requirements for data security. Therefore, industrial PCs are usually designed with special features such as ruggedization, dustproofing, moisture-proofing, corrosion resistance, and radiation protection. Industrial PCs also have very high requirements for expandability, and the interface design needs to accommodate specific external devices. Therefore, in most cases, industrial PCs need to be customized to meet specific needs.
Technical characteristics of embedded industrial control computers:
1. The all-metal industrial chassis conforming to the "EIA" standard is adopted, which enhances the anti-electromagnetic interference capability.
2. The chassis has no fan and relies on the casing for heat dissipation.
3. Equipped with a highly reliable industrial power supply, and has overvoltage and overcurrent protection.
4. Both the power supply and keyboard are equipped with electronic lock switches to prevent unauthorized opening/closing and unauthorized keyboard input.
5. It has a self-diagnostic function.
6. It is equipped with a "watchdog" timer, which will automatically reset without human intervention in the event of a system crash due to a malfunction.
7. Facilitates the scheduling and operation of multiple tasks.
Features of BOX industrial PCs: Low power consumption, fanless operation, suitable for use in harsh environments.
Features and Application Industries of BOX Industrial PCs: Low-power industrial PCs are ideal for applications in industries such as automotive electronics, digital electronics/advertising signage (DSA), healthcare computers, gaming/game consoles, and in-flight infotainment systems.
