Fanless industrial control computer is a new type of industrial control equipment, which attracts the attention of tens of thousands of people in the industry because it is a new type of industrial control equipment. Many people still hold a wait-and-see attitude towards the economical fanless industrial control computer. Therefore, in the following small and medium-sized series, we will introduce the main differences between the fanless industrial control computer and the traditional industrial control computer.
What is the difference between fanless IPC and traditional IPC?
1. Differences in chassis manufacturing materials
Traditional industrial control computers usually use cold-rolled sheet as the manufacturing material of the chassis, while fanless industrial control computers use all aluminum material as the manufacturing material of the chassis. Due to the light weight of all aluminum material, it is not only easy to carry and install, but also has better heat dissipation performance. Therefore, the chassis of fanless industrial computer itself has good heat dissipation.
2. Differences on the motherboard
The traditional industrial control computer uses a full-length or half length gold finger motherboard, which is very easy to loosen in the transportation or vibration environment, and the gold finger on the motherboard is also easy to be oxidized, resulting in the industrial control computer unable to start. However, the fanless industrial control computer adopts an advanced embedded, low-power motherboard, and the interfaces related to various external hardware are integrated on the motherboard, so it can avoid abnormal problems due to poor connection and the occurrence of looseness.
3. Differences in power supply
Traditional industrial control computers usually use high-power power supply. Although the power supply is large, the power consumption is also very large, and the heat emitted is very high, so it must be used with fans. However, fan free industrial control computers do use AC adapters, and the motherboard and CPU use DC power supply, so the on-site power supply can be used to directly supply power, so there is no need to use fans.
The above introduction is about the main differences between fanless industrial control computers and traditional industrial control computers. Through the introduction, I believe everyone must understand why the industrial control computers recommended by the manufacturers of fanless industrial control computers are becoming more and more popular. After all, fanless industrial control computers have more obvious advantages compared with traditional industrial control computers, which will make you feel more at ease when you use them.
