Product knowledge

There are significant differences in the uses and characteristics of industrial control computers and regular computers in practical applications:

1. Different design purposes: Industrial control computers are designed to operate in complex industrial control environments, while computers are designed for general applications.
2. Different performance requirements: Industrial control computers need to have higher computing performance and reliability, while computers pay more attention to computer performance and display effects such as images and sounds.
3. Requirements for system stability and long-term operation: The operating time of industrial control computers is usually longer than that of regular computers, and they need to run continuously for 24 hours. Therefore, they require higher stability and reliability.
4. Expand interfaces and communication protocols: Industrial control computers need to have more interfaces and communication protocols, such as CAN, RS232/485, etc., to control field devices.
5. Design differences in chips, motherboards, hardware, etc. : Industrial control computers have been specially designed and optimized in terms of internal hardware, system architecture, and circuit layout to meet the requirements of different industrial control applications. However, general-purpose computers adopt standardized designs and undergo similar hardware and system architecture optimizations and designs for daily applications.

In conclusion, although industrial control computers and regular computers are both computer devices, due to their different application environments and requirements, there are significant differences in their design and functions.
