Question

Compare industrial Control and Instrumentation equipment to that found in commercial electronics such as televisions. Highlight at least two (2) critical aspects in which industrial systems differ from commercial systems.

Answer 1

Aspects of comparison	Industrial Control System	Commercial Control System
Use	To manufacture or Monitor the ongoing industrial process Example a Robot in Car Making factory Painting the body of car	To provide basic services to customer like entertainment by TV , Cooling by Air Conditioner
Power and Space Consumption	They consume more power and need more larger space like A motor driven conveyor belt will need much larger space , A Industrial CNC machine will consume more power	They need less power and space like a Juice Mixer that uses a universal motor with low power consumption
Cost	Much Higher as their manufacturing is specialised and accurate like CNC machines that costs in thousands of dollars .	Lower Costs as have general purpose use by common public like everyone watches TV or uses Micro computer.
Robust abilty and Service time	These systems are more Robust and have higher service life. So they last long and not need to be frequently replaced	These systems are less Robust than Industrial Counterparts and also have less life than Industrial systems.So they are frequently replaced by new models
