The embedded industrial computer system is actually a special computer system, but it is different from the general computer system. It is specially designed for specific applications and is completely embedded in the controlled device. The complete definition of an embedded industrial computer system can be described in a few sentences, that is, a special computer system that focuses on the application, takes the computer as the basis, and can tailor the software and hardware.
The characteristics of the embedded industrial computer system are user-oriented, product-oriented and application-oriented, and its outstanding feature is that it has strong specificity. The basic framework of an embedded industrial computer system is: processor, memory, input and output (I/O) and software.
Then, like other computer systems, embedded industrial computer systems have also experienced a long development.
It first appeared in the 1970s from the microcontroller. It already has the application characteristics of embedded industrial computer, and is widely used in home appliances, machines, communication devices and even automobiles.
In the 1980s, the embedded industrial computer application software marked the emergence of the "embedded industrial computer system" in the true sense. The operating system of the real-time kernel contains the characteristics of the traditional operating system, and also uses the basic characteristics of the embedded industrial computer system. . Throw in tailorability, portability, extensibility, and more.
In the 1990s, it was a period of high-speed development of embedded industrial computer technology. Well-known embedded industrial computer systems such as Lynx, Linux, Nucleux, Hopen, and Delta Os all appeared at this time.
The reason why the embedded industrial computer system develops so rapidly and is widely used in life is because people see its advantages, such as extremely small core, simplified system, high real-time performance, strong special-purpose and so on. It is believed that in the future, the embedded industrial computer system will also continue to develop, bringing more convenience to scientific and technological life.
