Introduction to the differences between industrial tablets, industrial computers, and touch screens

With the continuous development of industrial automation, the demand for intelligent devices is increasing, which has also promoted the growth of market demand for industrial control products such as industrial tablets, industrial control computers, and touch screens. Although industrial tablets, industrial computers, and touch screens have been widely used in fields such as intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence, smart cities, healthcare, finance, and transportation, do you really know the differences between them?
Understanding the differences between industrial tablets, industrial computers, and touch screens, as well as their respective environments and characteristics, can help us choose the most suitable product. Below, the Smart Touch Editor will introduce the differences between them.
1、 Touch screen, also known as touch screen in industrial touch displays, is an inductive LCD display device that can receive input signals such as contacts. It is generally combined with LCD displays to form a touch display device. When touching the graphic buttons on the screen, the tactile feedback system on the screen drives various connection devices based on pre programmed programs, and then presents audio and video effects on the LCD display.
Industrial touch screens are mainly used in information query terminals, multimedia teaching, industrial control and other fields, with advantages such as fast response speed, space saving, and easy communication.
2、 Ordinary industrial control computers are usually composed of a passive motherboard and industrial CPU card, expansion card and power supply, or a motherboard and power supply. Some also have storage units such as optical drives and floppy drives, which have the characteristic of multi card expansion. Large volume and high energy consumption are obvious drawbacks of ordinary industrial control computers. Due to the upgrade of application solutions, such as multifunctional PLCs, various modules and switches replacing traditional acquisition cards and bus multi port cards, the demand for multi card expansion is no longer as strong, leading to the emergence of embedded industrial control computers. Compared with traditional industrial control computers, embedded industrial control computers provide higher reliability, are more suitable for complex and demanding industrial environments, and are suitable for application systems with strict requirements for functionality, reliability, cost, volume, and power consumption. This is also the future development trend of the industrial control computer industry.
3、 Industrial tablet computer is a computer that integrates display screens and industrial control computers. It is a combination of industrial displays and industrial control computers, and is an interface device for communication, transmission, input, and reception of information between users and machines. Widely used in communication, self-service terminals, power, industrial automation, intelligent factories and other fields, it has the characteristics of robustness, vibration resistance, wide temperature range, multiple slots, and strong scalability.
