Inhoudsopgave
Industrial CPU Tiers: From Low Power to High Performance
| CPU Class | TDP | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Intel Atom / Celeron N | 4 tot 15W | IoT gateways, data loggers, simple HMI |
| Intel Core i3 / i5 (U-series) | 15 tot 28W | SCADA workstations, operator panels, MES terminals |
| Intel Core i5 / i7 (H-series) | 45 tot 65W | Machine vision, SCADA servers, AI edge inference |
| Intel Core Ultra / Xeon | 55 tot 125W | High-performance edge computing, multi-camera vision, AI NPU |
| AMD Ryzen Embedded | 15 tot 35W | High-graphics, multi-display applications |
Key Processor Considerations for Industrial Embedded PCs
- TDP vs fanless cooling, fanless chassis have a heat dissipation limit (typically 15 tot 65W); never exceed the chassis TDP rating
- Industrial temperature grade, not all Intel Core processors have industrial temperature variants; confirm extended-temp support with your hardware vendor
- Long-term availability, industrial embedded processors have 7 tot 10 year supply guarantees vs 2 tot 3 years for consumer CPUs
- Integrated graphics vs discrete GPU, for basic SCADA displays, integrated graphics is sufficient; for machine vision or AI, a discrete GPU may be required
Matching CPU to Application
- Simple data logger / IoT gateway → Intel Atom or Celeron N, 6 tot 15W fanless
- SCADA workstation (1 tot 2 screens) → Core i5 U-series, 15 tot 28W fanless
- Machine vision (single camera) → Core i5 or i7 H-series, 45W fanless or active cooling
- Edge AI (NPU + vision) → Intel Core Ultra with integrated NPU or Core i7 + NVIDIA GPU
Veelgestelde vragen
For reliable fanless operation in ambient temperatures up to 50°C, specify processors with TDP of 15W or less (Intel Atom, Celeron N-series, Core i-series low-power variants). For ambient temperatures up to 40°C, 25 tot 35W TDP processors (Core i5/i7 embedded U/H-series) are reliably cooled in well-designed fanless enclosures. Processors above 45W TDP generally require active cooling.
Intel Atom processors (x6000E Elkhart Lake series, 6 tot 12W TDP) are designed for IoT gateway, edge connectivity, and protocol conversion applications, high I/O integration, low cost, lower performance. Intel Core i5/i7 (25 tot 45W embedded-grade) delivers workstation-class performance for SCADA, machine vision, and AI inference. Choose Atom/Celeron for simple data collection; choose Core i5/i7 for demanding real-time processing.
SCADA client and HMI applications typically run well with 4 tot 8GB RAM. SCADA servers with large tag databases need 8 tot 16GB. Machine vision systems running deep learning models benefit from 16 tot 32GB. IoT gateway and protocol converter applications function reliably with 4GB. As a rule, specify more RAM than your application currently requires, it is the cheapest upgrade that prevents future performance bottlenecks.
Industrial embedded PCs should use NVMe SSD (M.2 or 2.5-inch) rather than spinning hard drives. SSDs have no moving parts (critical for vibration resistance), faster boot and application load times, and operate across the full industrial temperature range. Choose industrial-grade SSDs (with power-loss protection and wide temperature ratings) rather than consumer SSDs for production applications.
