Teardown of the CHIPLY Industrial Panel PC

With the advent of the Industry 4.0 era, industrial panel PCs have found widespread application across sectors such as transportation, finance, power, healthcare, and the Internet of Things (IoT), increasingly integrating into our daily lives. Given the diverse application scenarios, environmental requirements, and functional needs across different industries, there are corresponding variations in materials, manufacturing standards, and technical specifications.

So, are you familiar with the structure of an industrial panel PC?

External Structure of the CHIPLY Industrial Panel PC

Externally, an industrial panel PC (or all-in-one industrial computer) consists of components such as a metal housing, an LCD screen, a motherboard, cabling, and a power supply unit.

I. Housing Structure and Material: Impact on Performance

The choice of housing material is crucial; it affects not only the device's aesthetics but also its durability and protective capabilities. Common materials on the market include aluminum alloys and other industrial-grade materials. Aluminum alloys offer robust protection, including dust and water resistance, making them suitable for various harsh environments. Industrial-grade materials, meanwhile, offer resistance to pressure, corrosion, and vibration, making them ideal for demanding industrial settings.

When selecting a housing material, it is recommended to base your decision on the specific application scenario and usage requirements. If necessary, consult a professional for more detailed advice.

II. Touchscreen Options for CHIPLY Industrial Panel PCs

Capacitive Touchscreens

Capacitive touchscreens operate using the human body's electric field. They are characterized by high sensitivity, multi-touch capabilities, and fast response times. These screens are suitable for applications requiring precise interaction and multi-touch functionality.

Resistive Touchscreens

Resistive touchscreens detect touch locations via pressure. While generally more cost-effective and durable, they offer relatively lower precision and sensitivity. They are best suited for simple, single-point touch operations.

Internal Structure of the CHIPLY Industrial Panel PC

Internally, the industrial panel PC is primarily composed of a motherboard, a power supply board, an inverter board (for the backlight), an LCD screen, and speakers.

I. Motherboard Performance Options for CHIPLY Industrial Panel PCs

ARM-based and X86-based motherboards each offer distinct performance characteristics. Android motherboards are also known as embedded ARM motherboards; they utilize the ARM hardware architecture and typically employ the RISC instruction set. While they may be at a disadvantage when handling complex, multifaceted workloads, they excel in applications with relatively fixed, specific tasks. In contrast, computers based on the x86 architecture generally outperform ARM-based platforms in terms of both raw performance and manufacturing technology, particularly regarding high-performance computing and the processing of complex tasks.

II. Power Supply Options for CHIPLY Industrial Panel PCs

Built-in Power Supply Board

This component converts AC power into 12V DC power for internal use. It typically incorporates elements such as transformers, rectifiers, and voltage regulators to ensure a stable 12V output.

12V Power Adapter

Typically used to power small or low-wattage electronic devices. These adapters are simple to use; they plug directly into standard power outlets to provide a stable DC power supply to the device.

24V Phoenix Terminal Input

24V Phoenix terminal inputs are commonly used in industrial control systems and automation equipment, which often require higher supply voltages and greater current. The 24V Phoenix terminal is a standard industrial power interface that allows the device to draw power directly from the power supply system.

III. LCD Screen Options for CHIPLY Industrial Panel PCs

Two common screen types are "full-view" and "wide-view," which differ significantly in terms of viewing angles and display quality. Screen resolutions vary as well, ranging from low (e.g., 800x600) and medium (e.g., 1024x768) to high (e.g., 1920x1080). Please select the screen that best suits your specific requirements and budget for your industrial all-in-one PC.
