INNOVATEST硬度計可以提供外部電腦。任何用戶都可以根據情況,選擇使用我們的集成工業計算機或一個額外的計算機,只要使用的設備符合我們硬度測試系統的基本要求即可。
INNOVATEST強力建議使用嵌入式工業計算機,原因如下:
嵌入式工業計算機的優點
嵌入式工業計算機在制藥、醫療、食品、服務行業和軍事領域發揮中至關重要的作用。以下是嵌入式工業計算機相對于普通計算機或工作站的一些優勢:
性能高效—嵌入式工業計算機通常只有單一的功能。例如,一臺用于交通信號矩陣控制的嵌入式工業計算機,它的軟件和硬件只用于此特定目的,因此它是一個優化的設備。您需自問您是否希望在用于發射火箭的計算機中裝上word,excel 或游戲嗎?答案是是還是否?對于INNOVATEST,我們的理念是:用于機器或其他優質設備控制的計算機,有且僅有一個任務即控制,這將保證機器*的性能和高的可靠性。
產品可靠—嵌入式工業計算機,一般是在惡劣條件下使用的,為確保能完成任務,制造商通常會增加特定的硬件來保證計算機的正常工作,如一個SSD固態硬盤,它可保證快速可靠地存儲數據;一個在沒有散熱環境中應用的計時器,可消除由于移動部件或過熱導致的故障。為消除任何過熱問題,INNOVATEST的所有機型都使用了散熱器。
耐用—很多嵌入式工業計算機直接被用于工廠和其他一些惡劣環境中,用于設置那些不僅環境惡劣,而且程序復雜的電子元件的操作中。基于這些應用,所以嵌入式工業計算機可以承受相當惡劣的環境。它們可以承受固定的沖擊,甚至在移動過程中保持功能,且通過給主板加上涂層等方式減少潮濕和臟亂環境的影響。
更長的生命周期– 對于大多數嵌入式工業計算機而言,正常壽命約在7到10年。為保證了使用壽命,制造商們使用壽命更長的芯片來設計主板。這樣的使用壽命是常規工作站計算機的3倍。
用戶自定義– 與有一系列常規功能和特征,且能滿足大多數辦公室使用需求的常規的計算機相比,嵌入式工業計算機僅有2個主要功能,它們是操作,控制和通過專業軟件采集設備數據。不管哪個任務,它都可以完成。像INNOVATEST這樣的OEM生產商還可以進一步自定義每個模塊的功能,讓它滿足我們的需求,如IMPRESSIONS™軟件.
INNOVATEST硬度計以嵌入式工業計算機作為標配,利用IMPRESSIONS™軟件完成硬度測試操作。
因此,INNOVATEST的IMPRESSIONS™軟件可以在一個標配的電腦如惠普,戴爾或其他A類工作站計算機上運行嗎?答案是可以的,但是基于以上原因,我們不建議使用。
INNOVATEST hardness testers can be supplied with external desktop computers or workstations. We leave it to your consideration as long as the computer supplied meets the minimum requirements to operate our machines properly.
INNOVATEST strongly recommends the use of our standard embedded Industrial Windows controller, let us explain why:
Benefits of an Embedded Industrial Computer
The embedded industrial computer plays a crucial role in the fields of pharmaceutical, medical, food, service industries and the military, to name only a few. Here’s a closer look at some of the superior advantages that embedded industrial computers have over their general desktop or workstation counterparts;
Performance efficiency – In an embedded industrial computer, there is generally a single function for that device. For example, an embedded industrial computer for a traffic signal matrix has the hardware and software dedicated to the proper functioning of that particular purpose alone; hence there is an optimization of what the product can do. You need to ask yourself the question, would you wish to operate a rocket launcher from a desktop work station that has word, excel or games installed? No? At Innovatest we have the opinion that machines and or other quality equipment should be operated from a controller that has one task only, excellent machine performance with high reliability.
Product reliability – Given that an embedded industrial computer is potentially exposed to harsh conditions, and is certainly relied upon to accomplish its task without failure, manufacturers will often add certain features such as an SSD, for fast, reliable data storage, a watchdog timer and design it for fanless operation to eliminate the risk of failure due to moving parts or overheating. Mechanical heat sink as applied in all Innovatest machines eliminates any heat problem.
Durability – Many embedded industrial computers are used directly in factories and other harsh environmental settings which may not only expose them to harsher conditions, but also involve situations of rough handling for these electronics. Embedded industrial computers, depending on their use, are built to withstand fairly severe environments. They can be made to absorb stationary shocks or falls, remain functional even when in transfer via vehicles and are due to their location protected from exposure to moisture and dirt such as by conformal coating of the motherboard.
Longer product life cycle – For most embedded industrial computers, the regular life span of a model is estimated at approximately seven to ten years. Manufacturers design their boards with long life chipsets, assuring that the unit is meant to last. This is 3x better than the life span expectation of desktop work station.
Customizable features – Compared to general-purpose computers, which have an array of basic functions and features that cater to most office needs but have no use in industrial equipment, an embedded industrial computers has 2 main functions only. These are operation, control and data collection of industrial equipment through the specialized software to operate such equipment. With either one of these purposes in mind, nearly anything can be done with the hardware, then the OEM manufacturer, like Innovatest can further customize the unit to accommodate the needs of their particular industry or job by installing their proprietary software like IMPRESSIONS™.
INNOVATEST hardness testing equipment has Embedded Industrial Computers as standard controllers on board of all our IMPRESSIONS™ operated hardness testers.
So, can INNOVATEST IMPRESSIONS™ software run on a standard Hewlett Packard, Dell, or another A class desk top work station? Yes it can, we just don’t recommend it, for the above reasons.
