What is the difference between a server chassis and an industrial control chassis?

The server chassis must be able to fit into the cabinet. The width of a standard rack mount chassis is 19 inch  and 482.6mm, so the width of the chassis is almost fixed, usually about 17 inches, with handles and rails installed on both sides. The height of the chassis is also specified. U (Unit) is used as the unit. 1U is 44.5mm. The height of the chassis is divided into 1U-4U according to the specifications.

The industrial chassis control is generally a chassis used in an environment with relatively poor conditions. A lot of noise and dust. The motherboard part of the machine is divided into two parts, the bottom plate + cpu card form.

Industrial control enclosure is generally used in harsh environments. Considering that the anti-electromagnetic interference, waterproof, dustproof, and shock resistance will be slightly more, but not all industrial control box enclosure have these functions. Generally, the workmanship is clumsy, and the structure Form rack, panel mounted is the electrical control box enclosures. The control station enclosuresis is generally in a dedicated computer room, so the focus is on heat dissipation, and there may be less consideration for dustproof and earthquake resistance. It seems that the workmanship is finer, and the structure is generally tower type and rack type. The above is the difference between the industrial control chassis and the server chassis. It can be seen that there are certain differences between them, but there are also similarities, which mainly depend on the workmanship.

The advantages of industrial control chassis are extrusion resistance, corrosion resistance, dust resistance, vibration resistance, and radiation resistance. Mainly used in harsh environments. For example: navigation, power plants, chemicals, mining plants, underground operations, etc. The industrial control chassis is generally used in the military, radio stations, and television stations.
