Embedded industrial computer is a compact computer specially designed for industrial field. It is a kind of reinforced industrial computer. It can operate reliably in industrial environment as an industrial controller. Common embedded industrial computers include box industrial computer and fan less industrial computer. The embedded industrial computer has the advantages of reliable performance, fanless structure, small size and low price, and it is widely used in industrial computer. Especially in recent years, with the development of embedded technology, embedded industrial computer is also developing rapidly, and it is applied to various fields quickly, and occupies an increasingly important position.

So what's the difference between embedded IPC and common IPC? What are the advantages?
1、 Advantages of embedded IPC in product performance:
1. The product has good function adaptability and almost matches the function of the controlled object under test. It has certain expansibility but does not take expansion as the main purpose, so the product has high cost performance;
2. The miniaturization of the device is one of the main manifestations, which is embodied in the compact design. There is no standard for reference in the structural design. The reasonable utilization of the external interface and installation space should be fully considered;
3. The reliability requirements are high. On the basis that the electrical functions meet the reliability design, the reliability design contents such as heat dissipation design, electromagnetic compatibility design, dust-proof and water-proof design, and anti vibration design shall be carefully considered;
4. Ultra low power fanless design is the mainstream. Since the miniaturization of the device, the cooling capacity is limited, and the embedded system MTBF (mean time between failures) requirements are also very high, especially in unattended applications, ultra-low power consumption and fan free design become necessary.
2、 The difference between embedded IPC and common IPC:
First of all, the position of embedded industrial computer in the whole measurement and control system is often at the front end. The upward connection of embedded industrial computer is often common industrial computer. The computing power, software resources, database support and other aspects of common industrial computer are difficult to be matched by embedded industrial computer. Secondly, in the construction of large-scale system, the system expansion ability and network communication of common industrial computer The ability is also hard to be replaced by embedded IPC;
In addition, in the fields of visual design, process monitoring, data statistics, scientific calculation, prototype simulation design, and environmental simulation, general industrial computer has inherent advantages.
