How to choose the interface port (IO port) you want for your industrial PCs panel application?
The interface port of the industrial PCs is varied. Do you have any confusion how to choose the correct interface in your device? Only when the interface is diverse and flexible can the industrial PCs panel adapt to various industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing needs. Here i would introduce some and help you. The general interface
Serial port interface:
Common ones include RS232, RS485 and RS422, etc. These interfaces are used for data transmission and communication in industrial PCs panel, and can maintain the stability of data transmission in harsh environments.
Application scenarios:
Widely used in PLC control, sensors, motion control and other fields. At present, the popular ones in the industrial field are mainly motion control + host computer + vision.
USB interface:
The industrial PCs panel supports high-speed interface standards such as USB1.1 to USB3.0 and USB-C.
Application scenarios:
Usually used to connect peripherals such as printers, scanners, mobile storage devices, etc. to achieve high-speed data transmission.
CAN bus interface:
Used to connect CAN bus devices such as encoders, sensors, motor controllers, etc., with high-speed transmission, multi-point communication and strong anti-interference capabilities.
Application scenarios:
Automotive electronic systemsIn modern cars, the CAN bus is used to connect various ECUs, such as engine control units, transmission control units, ABS systems, airbag control systems, etc.
HDMI/VGA interface:
Used to connect devices such as monitors and projectors, supporting high-resolution, high-color depth, and high-refresh rate display effects.
Other interfaces:
Including parallel port interfaces for parallel data transmission, network interfaces such as Wi-Fi for wireless network connections, and possible dedicated I/O interfaces or PCI-E interfaces for specific sensor or actuator connections, or high-performance graphics processing and data storage expansion.
TPCTEK industrial PCs panel have been involved in various industrial automation fields, and are constantly expanding their application scenarios, such as touch display tablet series for medical scenarios, stainless steel industrial control all-in-one computer series for food processing, clinical, and chemical chemical scenarios, and vehicle-mounted industrial control all-in-one computer series suitable for warehouse forklifts, logistics fleets, terminal container trucks and other fleet management.
Each series and each interface takes into account the environment in which the industrial control machine will be deployed, such as production lines, machine control, data acquisition, etc., which will directly affect the type and quantity of required interfaces. Therefore, each design and development enables the industrial control machine to flexibly connect and exchange data with various external devices to meet the diverse needs of industrial automation.
