They are different type of industrial PCs that you can use to fulfill your standards in the industrial world; The most popular are capacitive PCs and resistive PCs. However, they still exist the infrared touchscreen, and surface acoustic wave touchscreen. Each touchscreen has its own advantages and disadvantages, and its using fields are also different.
- Capacitive industrial PC
is a glass, coated with a transparent conductor that creates touch screen panels. Touching the screen’s surface creates a distortion of the screen’s electrostatic field, which itself is measured as a change in capacitance since the human body is also an electrical conductor.-
- Capacitive industrial PC is mostly used on smartphones, Tablets PC and industrial computing spaces like KIOSKS.
-
- Resistive industrial PC
is divided into two layers, separated by a spacer in the middle. When the two layers collide with each other, the current will have an impact. The chip uses the data between the calculated force and the current to assess which part of the screen is pressed and responds. Because the resistive screen requires two layers of collision before responding.
Which industrial PC is more popular in industrial applications?
The resistive industrial PC is more popular for industrial applications simply for its higher accuracy. An easy example to understand, a resistive industrial PC screen is able to detect the finger of a human with a glove. Meaning this type of computer has a more precise touch on the screen and is more sensitive to touch.
Main features that make it ideal:
- The industrial environment is harsh, dusty, and bigger range temperature, the resistive touchscreen is more suitable for such complicated environment;
- The resistive touchscreen can be touched with any object, which is suitable for some industrial applications scenarios.
- The accuracy of the resistive touchscreen depends only on the accuracy of the A/D conversion, so it can easily reach 4096 * 4096 comparison, and the cost performance is higher than that of the capacitive touchscreen.
- Stronger anti-electromagnetic interference ability, more suitable for complicated industrial application site environment.
In conclusion, resistive industrial PC is more popular in the industry for its powerful features like industrial environment duties, high accuracy even with objects, and stronger anti-electromagnetic interference ability.
