Service life of industrial computers
Thread Content
Enterprise automation operations and monitoring can be implemented relatively quickly. The typical design lifespan for industrial computers is 5-8 years. However, there is unstable operation. Do the industrial computers need to be replaced? Deviations occur in electrolytic capacitor compensation when it is operated for a long time.
Generally, it’s best to replace them every 5-8 years if financial conditions permit; if that’s not possible, it’s necessary to have backups so that they can be replaced as soon as they fail. Currently, many units are in use for over 10 years, with some hard drives and fans having been replaced
Make a backup; it can be used until it breaks. The card component needs to be considered for an update.
Use it until it breaks, and just make backups. I’ve been using mine for ten years without replacing it; I only replace the cooling fan and power supply from time to time
