What is Industrial PC Malaysia?

What is an Industrial Pc?

An industrial PC Malaysia is a microcontroller-based computer and an integrated CPU at the same time. Widely used in production equipment. They were used in process control systems and various industries. This Industrial PC Malaysia operates on the same principles of technology as general purpose computing devices such as desktop PCs and laptop PCs. However, it is designed and engineered to provide a higher level of reliability with processing power and storage capacity suitable for a wide variety of applications and uses.

The Advantage of Industrial PC

1. Wider operating temperature range
   Most IPCs can operate in environments up to 60°C, and in some extreme applications the temperature can reach 85°C. Cold sets are usually not a big issue, but there are some automated systems that operate in sub-zero temperatures for which IPCs are designed.
   
   
2. Robust metal housing and frame construction
   This important feature ensures functionality in harsh environments. The housing design determines the type of assembly in your application.
   
   
3. Improved overall mechanical life and vibration resistance
   IPC is suitable for high vibration level applications. For example, mobile devices and laser-guided vehicles (LGV) are growing in popularity. Also, for systems operating outdoors, impact resistance against unexpected crashes is a must.
   
   
4. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolation
   Commercial PCs are highly sensitive and are not well suited for systems with high EMI levels such as: B. Those with high voltage lines or large motors. Thanks to better shielding and sealing, IPC exists in these environments with little or no communication problems due to interference. The IPC also has surge protection.
   
   
5. Excellent protection against dirt and moisture
   Another common problem in many processes and climates is that moisture can affect the internal components of traditional PCs. IPCs with more advanced ventilation and cooling systems typically perform well in these conditions and require little or no maintenance. This also applies to systems with high dust concentrations. In paper mills, in addition to ensuring IPC operation, this also serves as a further form of risk mitigation against flash fires.

Types of industrial PCs

1. Embedded PC
   These IPCs, also called box PCs, are typically compact and designed for rail mounting. One of the biggest advantages is modularity. Embedded PCs are typically easily integrated with I/O and other terminals in the control cabinet.
   
   
2. Panel PC
   Simply put, a Panel PC is a hybrid of an IPC and a Control Panel or HMI. Panel PCs are the all-in-one devices of choice for many applications where space and cost are at a premium. Many panel PCs are now offered with touchscreens and are a popular solution when visualization is required on or near the machine.
   
   
3. Rack PCs
   These are typically larger than embedded PCs and are typically not mounted on rails. Rack PCs are often installed for industrial server applications and offer an additional layer of data security due to their long endurance.
   
   
4. Tablets / Clients / Monitors
   These are terminals that can be used to run applications that may or may not directly affect automation functions. Many systems obtain reports and statistics through these terminals for maintenance, operational planning, etc. PC- and Windows-based visualization tools are not only more robust and durable than traditional tablets, but also flexible in integrating with other operating system-compatible applications and protocols.
