Industrial Computers: Promoting application innovation with open standards
From the first generation STD bus industrial computer in the 1980s, the second generation PC-based industrial computer in the 1990s, to today's ATCA / CPCI bus technology, the development of industrial computers in China has made great progress. In this development process, the application of industrial computers has also diversified. Especially with the promotion of 3G services and the integration of various communications and network technologies, it is no longer limited to the application of industrial automation. So, how will future industrial computers develop?
In order to promote the development of industrial computers and seek opportunities for the development of the next generation of industrial computers, the China Computer Industry Association PICMG / PRC and the Chinese Computer Society Industrial Control Computer Special Committee held the "Eighth China PICMG Technology Annual Conference and China Industrial Computer Development" in Beijing. Forum, this time with the theme of "Integrated Platform Accelerates Application Innovation", discusses how to enable enterprises to find more suitable technologies for development, as well as new technological trends in the future development of industrial computers.
Diversified applications under new opportunities
"In the future, from power generation to power distribution to transmission will be monitored by the smart grid, and the smart grid system can be connected to your home's black box through the Internet. This black box is actually a computer that can be connected to your home. All electrical equipment. The future power grid will provide real-time quotation, and your black box will automatically receive the quotation of the power grid. When the electricity price is too high, you can turn off your air conditioner every 10 minutes for 2 minutes, and turn off the power every 10 minutes Refrigerator 2 minutes, your rechargeable battery car starts to charge at 12 o'clock in the evening. Through the black box, each family can reduce the use of electricity by about 28%, and flatten the curve of the entire peak power consumption, we do not need to send So much electricity, and electricity can be used more effectively. "He Chunsheng, general manager of Advantech Greater China, introduced that this is part of Advantech's intelligent life, and all this is achieved under the control of industrial computers.
In the past, when it comes to industrial computers, people often associate it with industrial automation. At present, industrial computers are not only used in the field of automation, but are combined with technologies such as communications, networking, optoelectronics, and semiconductors, and are used in energy, telecommunications, and medical fields. According to Liu Xin, chairman of the China Computer Industry Association PICMG / PRC: "In the development of industrial computers today, it is far from a computer in a shell we imagined in the past, and its shape and structure have changed a lot. The application goes far beyond industrial automation. "
According to statistics from the China Computer Industry Association, the industrial computer market in China exceeds 5.5 billion yuan (excluding application systems), and the export of industrial computers is about 200 million US dollars.
China's industrial revitalization and structural adjustment have also brought many opportunities to the development of industrial computers. Taking rail transit as an example, as of 2008, China has completed and put into operation about 800 kilometers of urban rail transit lines, and 25 cities with more than 2,500 kilometers of urban rail transit construction planning have passed national approval. Ticketing systems, in-vehicle, inspection, power supply and other aspects have brought huge market opportunities to industrial computers. He Chunsheng, general manager of Advantech Greater China, said that for the first time in the first three quarters of 2009, Advantech China ’s revenue was the same as the US market ’s share of global revenue.
The development of technology also promotes the applicability of industry applications, giving users a better experience. According to Liu Xin, in the past, when I visited the telecommunications company's computer room, the room was full of servers and switches, with the connecting line in the middle. I couldn't tell which machine was connected. In the future, due to space constraints and easy maintenance, the telecommunications company's computer room must be an ATCA platform that combines boards, servers, and switches to solve all user needs. The role played by industrial computers will become more and more important. Its design exhibits diverse and customized design features. The technological development further reflects the network IP and hardware architecture IP.
Integration with embedded and cloud computing
Combined with embedded and cloud computing technology, it has also become the focus of many industrial computer manufacturers. According to Zhang Jiahao, Director of Advantech's Embedded Computing Core Business Group, Advantech's "Embedded Core Services" provides a complete set of solutions for embedded application developers, including from COM carrier board design services, SoC platform development to hardening and Various services of wide temperature design. The scope of this service covers all kinds of services from embedded motherboards, modules to software services. Through this systematic matching design, it can simplify the design engineers in the motherboard, BIOS, peripherals Selection of items such as modules.
Cloud computing, as the most popular technical concept, will not be ignored by industrial computer manufacturers. Liu Xin said: "With the deepening of cloud computing technology, how to solve the problem of combining industrial computers and cloud computing must be our important research topic." Peng Wenjin, chief engineer of Dingtike Electronics also believes: "Through cloud computing such a The new technology integrates equipment, software, and services into one, making multi-network integration a reality, so that users ’needs can be better met. This is also the goal of Dingti Ke on the Gigabit Ethernet communication computing platform s reason."
Open standards
This year, the state ’s plan for the adjustment and revitalization of the electronic information industry will promote structural adjustment of the electronic information industry, enhance independent innovation capabilities, and enable China to develop from a large information power to an information power. However, some enterprises have lower profits and less investment in R & D, and there is still a large gap with developed countries. In order to promote the optimization and upgrading of China's electronic information industry structure, the development of an integrated platform based on open standards is a key. Open standards are the trend of the world today, and also an opportunity for China to take advantage of its backwardness and achieve transcendent development.
At present, the country attaches great importance to standardization construction, and the industrial computer industry is also formulating corresponding standards. According to Liu Xin: "At present, there is no universal standard for industrial computers in the world. The standard we are currently formulating is an open standard. We will absorb the standards that are already universal in the world, and some have not yet been formulated and circulated. We will first absorb the technical advantages of some manufacturers and integrate it into our standards. "He also said that an integrated platform based on open standards gives users the right to choose freely to ensure the mutual interaction between the products of various manufacturers. The operability allows all parties to the competition to compete equally in the market, and users will not be locked in a specific supplier, thus avoiding monopoly. Using open standards, users can also enhance the reliability and security of the system according to their needs. In addition, the introduction of an integrated platform based on open standards is not to abandon independent research and development, but to allow users to concentrate on the applications they are good at through proper integration, quickly establish system models, and shorten the development cycle.
