What Is an Embedded Box PC?

Introduction to Embedded Box PCs


Embedded box PCs, also known as embedded industrial control computers, started to become popular in China since 2007. They are ruggedized and enhanced industrial computers that can reliably operate as industrial controllers in industrial environments, embedded box PCs, in layman's terms, are compact computers specifically designed for industrial sites. They can reliably operate as industrial controllers in industrial environments. Common embedded box PCs include box computers, fanless industrial control computers, etc. Embedded box PCs are known for their reliable performance, fanless design, compact size, and low cost, making them increasingly popular in industrial control applications. Especially in recent years, with the development of embedded technology, embedded industrial control computers have rapidly developed and are quickly being applied in various fields, occupying increasingly critical positions.


Features of Embedded Box PCs


  • Embedded box PCs use a full-metal industrial chassis that complies with "EIA" standards, enhancing electromagnetic interference resistance.


  • The chassis has no fans and relies on the casing for heat dissipation.


  • Equipped with a highly reliable industrial power supply with over-voltage and over-current protection.


  • Embedded box PCs have self-diagnostic capabilities.


  • Equipped with a "watchdog" timer that automatically resets without manual intervention in case of a crash.


  • Embedded box PCs facilitate multi-task scheduling and operation.


  • Its small footprint provides great convenience for flexible installation and easy maintenance, fitting virtually any machine, control cabinet, and equipment.


Differences Between Embedded Box PCs and Ordinary Industrial Control Computers


Firstly, embedded box PCs often occupy a front-end position in the entire measurement and control system. Embedded box PCs are often connected upwards to ordinary industrial control computers, whose computational abilities, software resources, database support, etc., are areas where ordinary industrial control computers fall short; secondly, in large system construction, the system expansion capabilities and network communication capabilities of embedded box PCs are also difficult to replace by ordinary industrial control computers; furthermore, in areas such as visual design, process monitoring, data statistics, scientific computing, prototype simulation design, and simulations, embedded industrial control computers have inherent advantages.


Applications of Embedded Box PCs


Embedded box PCs can be flexibly applied in harsh environments regarding temperature and usage space, including vehicle-mounted, retail, monitoring, electronic billboards, factory control, and other applications requiring low-power systems.
