Industrial control computers, which come in different styles and installation methods, but are often referred to as industrial computers, are tools specially designed to monitor and control production processes, electromechanical equipment, and process equipment through a bus structure. In contrast, a server is a type of computer whose primary task is to process requests and transmit data to other computers over the Internet or a local network.
However, whether industrial computers and servers can be substituted for each other, and the differences between them, is a topic worth going deeper. Industrial computers usually operate under harsh environmental conditions, such as places with high noise and a lot of dust. The motherboard is usually divided into two components: the backplane and the CPU card, which can be designed to meet special needs. Industrial computers have a number of advantages, such as compression, corrosion, dust and vibration resistance, so they are mainly widely used in power plants, chemical and mining fields, and are also widely used in the military, radio and television stations and other industries.
This is mainly due to the fact that industrial computers can effectively dissipate heat in these areas, and have excellent scalability and stability. However, despite the excellent performance of IPCs in harsh environments, they are not always universal with servers. Servers are mainly designed for use in data centers or professional computer rooms as specialized equipment for data processing and storage. This data is critical for many organizations, so the stability of the device and the integrity of the data are the primary considerations in the design of the server. To this end, the server employs a variety of advanced technologies to ensure the superior performance of the device and the security of the data. In addition, there are obvious differences between industrial computers and servers in terms of planning and appearance structure.
Servers are usually placed in a relatively good environment, and their structural design allows for stacking in racks to increase density, usually in a u("1u"、"2u"etc.), while the width is usually the same, 19 inches. Conversely, industrial computers are used in production operating environments and sometimes need to be embedded in equipment or machines, so they come in a variety of different sizes and shapes. In summary, there are obvious differences in planning, performance, and appearance between industrial computers and servers, so they are not always universal. The choice of IPC or server depends on the specific application needs and the conditions of the working environment.
