Industrial Personal Computer (IPC) yog lub khoos phis tawj tswj kev lag luam, uas yog lub ntsiab lus dav dav rau cov cuab yeej siv cov qauv tsheb npav los kuaj xyuas thiab tswj cov txheej txheem tsim khoom, cov khoom siv hluav taws xob, thiab cov khoom siv txheej txheem.
IPCs muaj cov yam ntxwv tseem ceeb hauv computer thiab cov yam ntxwv, xws li lub khoos phis tawj motherboard, CPUs, hard disks, nco, peripherals thiab interfaces, nrog rau kev khiav hauj lwm systems, tswj kev tes hauj lwm thiab cov kev cai, suav hwj chim, thiab tus phooj ywg txiv neej-tshuab interface. Cov khoom lag luam thiab thev naus laus zis ntawm kev lag luam tswj kev lag luam yog tshwj xeeb thiab koom nrog cov khoom nruab nrab, muab kev ruaj khov, txhim khu kev qha, embedded thiab ntse muaj computers rau lwm yam lag luam.
Cov pawg tseem ceeb ntawm cov khoos phis tawj muaj xws li: IPC (PC tsheb npav muaj computer), PLC (programmable control system), DCS (distributed control system), FCS (field bus system) thiab CNC (numerical control system). Kev lag luam computer micro-embedded industrial computer chaw tsim tshuaj paus lub ntsiab lus summed: lub hauv paus ntsiab lus ntawm kev lag luam computer thiab lub computer yog raws nraim tib yam, tab sis vim hais tias ntawm cov kev qhia sib txawv ntawm kev siv, qhov optimization ntawm cov qauv thiab kev ua tau zoo kuj hloov raws li. Feem ntau hais lus, cov khoos phis tawj zoo tib yam yog siv rau hauv kev ua haujlwm ntawm tus kheej lossis kev lag luam. Hauv txoj ntsiab cai, qhov chaw siv zoo tshaj plaws yog nyob hauv tsev thiab chaw ua haujlwm.
Kev lag luam computer tau siv dav hauv txhua yam ntawm kev lag luam thiab tib neeg lub neej. Piv txwv li: tswj chaw, txoj kev thiab choj tus xov tooj, kev kho mob, kev tiv thaiv ib puag ncig, kev sib txuas lus, ntse tsheb thauj mus los, kev soj ntsuam, lub suab, queuing tshuab, POS, CNC tshuab cuab yeej, subway, nyiaj txiag, petrochemical, geophysical tshawb, teb thiab hais txog.
