What's the Lifecycle for industrial computer?

Industrial computers, also known as industrial computer hosts, are mainly used in special industries. In terms of work performance, industrial computers are mainly based on stable operation. Some customers will be curious, What’s the Lifecycle for industrial computer?

For this problem, the service life of industrial computers has a lot to do with the specific working environment. Generally speaking, industrial computer manufacturers promise to provide one-year warranty and provide repair and replacement services within 3 years. This does not mean that industrial computers only have a one-year lifespan. For example, a car with a three-year or 100,000km warranty, as long as it is well maintained, some cars will have no problems for 15-20 years.

The service life of the industrial computer is closely related to the working environment. Such as in high temperature, aging of motherboard and circuit, electronic components are oxidized in industrial computers; In low temperature environment, industrial computers are blocked from starting; in humid environment, electronic components are easy to short circuit;

We know that general industrial computers can be turned on normally at -20~60 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too high, it will cause the industrial computer to fail to start. Therefore, in a working environment of 40 degrees Celsius, the industrial computer usually has no effect.

However, if the IPC overheats during operation, it may affect the performance of the IPC. For example, the industrial computer will automatically reduce the frequency, resulting in slow operation, which will cause hardware damage, such as motherboard capacitors, power supply, CPU, etc. Therefore, if the temperature is too high, the life of the IPC will be shortened~

In order to use it better, it always maintains excellent working functions, and must provide necessary and reasonable protection in normal use. The protection of industrial computer is mainly hardware protection.

Hardware protection of industrial computer; The clear protection requirement for hardware is to provide a stable working environment for industrial computer. For example, when a machine reads and writes to a disk or hard disk, the drive may be severely worn or the hard disk may be damaged. If you want to stick it on the wall, the industrial computer should at least have a gap between the walls to ensure good heat dissipation. Otherwise, components age at an accelerated rate. The following points should be specified in detail:

The chassis includes industrial power supply, passive backplane and electric fan. Industrial power supply: it is a long-term uninterrupted machine, so its function is better. The first thing to pay attention to for industrial computer is to minimize the entry of dust and prevent dust from affecting the operation of the fan.

Avoid momentary power failure, industrial computer momentary power failure and sudden calls often have high voltage, which is likely to "burn out" the computer, and voltage jitter (too low or too high) can also cause damage to the computer. Therefore, it should be equipped with a power supply as much as possible. In addition, it should be anti-static and lightning-proof.
