General Parameters and Model Selection Tips for Industrial Control All-in-One Computers
Processor performance determines the operating efficiency
The processor of an industrial control all-in-one computer directly affects the computing power of the equipment. For general data processing and monitoring systems, Intel Celeron or i3 level processors can be chosen, as they offer good value for money. If it is for factory automation, machine vision, data analysis, etc., which involve high-load tasks, it is recommended to select i5, i7 or even more advanced embedded CPUs to ensure smooth computing without hindering performance.
Furthermore, some specialized industries may require processors with the ARM architecture, which have lower power consumption and higher stability. This can be discussed with the manufacturers of industrial control all-in-one machines in advance to ensure that they match the actual requirements.
Screen specifications determine the display experience
The screen is an important component of the industrial control all-in-one machine, and it mainly focuses on the following aspects:

Size: Common sizes include 10.1 inches, 15 inches, 17 inches, 21.5 inches, etc. When choosing, consider the installation environment and operational convenience.
Resolution: The standard resolution is usually 1024×768 or 1920×1080. If you have a need for high-precision display, you can choose a model with a higher resolution.
Touching method: Resistive screens are suitable for environments where gloves or wet hands are used, while capacitive screens are suitable for scenarios requiring multi-touch control and high operational sensitivity.
Before making a purchase, it is advisable to confirm with the manufacturer of the industrial control all-in-one machine about the durability of the screen. Especially in outdoor or high-intensity usage scenarios, the scratch and wear resistance must meet the standards.
Heat dissipation and protection, ensuring long-term stable operation
The industrial control all-in-one machine operates continuously for years, and the heat dissipation design is a key factor affecting stability. Generally, it can be divided into “fanless heat dissipation” and “active fan heat dissipation”:
Fanless cooling: Utilizing an aluminum alloy casing and a large area of heat sink, it is suitable for environments with high dust content and high noise requirements, such as food processing and pharmaceutical industries.
Active fan cooling: Suitable for high-load and high-temperature environments, ensuring continuous and stable operation. However, it is necessary to clean the fan dust regularly to avoid the accumulation of dust affecting heat dissipation.
In addition, the dust-proof and water-resistant ratings of the equipment (IP65 and above) are also important factors to consider when choosing an industrial all-in-one computer brand. Especially when used in outdoor or humid environments, a higher level of protection can effectively extend the lifespan of the equipment.
The G1K control display integrated machine is preset with multiple interfaces.
The expansion interfaces can meet different application requirements.
For industrial control integrated machines, in order to connect with various devices, the number and types of interfaces must be abundant, such as:
USB interface: This is used to connect external devices such as mice, keyboards, and USB drives. It is recommended to choose a high-speed interface of USB 3.0 or above.
Serial Port (RS232/RS485): This interface is commonly required by equipment such as factory automation systems, PLC devices, and instruments and meters.
Network port: If remote control or data transmission is required, at least 1-2 gigabit network ports are necessary. Some high-end models also support 5G and Wi-Fi connections.
PCI/PCIe slot: Used for additional expansion, such as installing independent graphics cards, capture cards, etc.
Before making a purchase, you can consult the manufacturer of the industrial control all-in-one machine about whether it supports custom interfaces based on your application scenario. This will prevent you from encountering incompatibility issues later when using the equipment. Control Display Technology has been deeply involved in the industrial control field for many years and offers various specifications of industrial control all-in-one machines, which support customization. This enables it to better meet the needs of different industrial scenarios.
