Application and Introduction of Kontron Industrial Computer in the Iron and Steel Industry

Application background At the production site of the iron and steel industry, there are a large number of field devices that need to be controlled. Because the on-site environment is very harsh-large dust, strong vibration, large temperature changes, and need to run continuously for 24 hours, so the production site control equipment has higher requirements than other industries. Kontron's ICS-C4000M industrial computer not only satisfies these requirements to the greatest extent, but also wins the favor of more and more customers in the Chinese market.

system introduction

In the on-site control system of a Shanghai iron and steel company, Kontron's ICS-C4000M is used as the on-site host computer. The process control program runs on the host computer. The host computer sends various execution commands to the lower computer PLC through the control program to achieve Device motion control.
At the same time, data exchange is required between production lines, between workshops, and even between branches. Therefore, the ICS-C4000M is connected to the server in the computer room, and the servers are connected through the intranet, so that uninterrupted pipeline operations can be realized and the production efficiency can be improved.

System characteristics In this application case, Kontron's ICS-C4000M as a host computer for field control presents its special application value. The system is 4U high, 19 "wide and can be put on an industrial platform. The special heat dissipation system and redundant power supply ensure the stability of the system. The motherboard uses Intel chipset and industrial-grade memory to provide a reliable guarantee for the performance and stability of the system The system's serial port, parallel port, USB port and dual network port provide sufficient I / O space for the system. In addition, the system has 6 PCI slots, which can be connected to the user's function card or expand other cards.
