Industrial computers are computer systems specifically designed and used in industrial applications. Unlike general home computers, industrial computers usually have higher reliability, stability, and durability to meet the needs of industrial applications in harsh environmental conditions. Industrial computers are commonly used in automation control, industrial monitoring and control, robot control, data acquisition and processing, instrumentation, medical equipment, transportation, energy management, and other fields. They need to have a wide operating temperature range, vibration resistance, corrosion resistance, dustproof and waterproof characteristics. In addition, industrial computers usually have special interfaces and expansion capabilities to accommodate the connection and control needs of various industrial equipment. Common types of industrial computers include industrial hosts, industrial controllers, and embedded systems. Through the use of industrial computers, the efficiency, reliability and safety of industrial automation and production processes can be improved.
