A control board is a printed circuit board (PCB) that contains electronic components and circuits designed to manage and control the operation of a particular device or system. It acts as the “brain” of the device or system, receiving input from sensors and other devices, processing the information, and sending commands to actuators and other components to control their behavior. Control boards are commonly used in a variety of applications, including industrial automation, robotics, automotive systems, and consumer electronics. They can be programmed to perform a wide range of functions and can be designed to be highly specialized or more general-purpose depending on the application.
A control board and a PCB (printed circuit board) serve different purposes in an electronic system.
A PCB is a board made of insulating material with conductive pathways etched on its surface, used to connect and support electronic components in a circuit. It is the backbone of any electronic system and provides a physical platform for the components to be mounted on.
A control board, on the other hand, is a PCB that contains the control logic and components to operate and manage a specific subsystem or system of a larger electronic system. It is responsible for controlling and coordinating the functions of other components or subsystems in the system, such as motors, sensors, and displays. The control board typically interfaces with other parts of the system and can be programmed to carry out specific functions and operations.
In summary, a PCB is a general term for a board that supports electronic components, while a control board is a type of PCB that contains control logic and components to operate and manage a specific subsystem or system of a larger electronic system.
Industrial Control Board
In industrial equipment, it is usually called a power control board. The power control board can be divided into intermediate frequency power control board and high frequency power control board. The intermediate frequency power control board is usually connected to the thyristor intermediate frequency power supply and used in conjunction with other intermediate frequency industrial equipment, such as intermediate frequency furnaces, intermediate frequency quenching machine tools, and intermediate frequency forging, etc. The high-frequency control board used in high-frequency power supply can be divided into IGBT and KGPS. Due to its energy-saving characteristics, the IGBT high-frequency board is widely used in high-frequency machines. Common control boards for industrial equipment include CNC stone engraving machine control board, plastic molding machine control board, liquid filling machine control board, adhesive label die-cutting machine control board, automatic drilling machine control board, automatic tapping machine control board, positioning labeling machine control board, ultrasonic cleaning machine control board, etc.
Motor Control Board
Motors are the executive mechanism of automated equipment and are also the most critical components of automated equipment. To put it in a more abstract and tangible way, it is like the hand of a person, which performs intuitive operations. To guide the “hand” to work properly, various types of motor drive control boards are needed. Commonly used motor drive control boards include: ACIM-AC induction motor control board, brushed DC motor control board, BLDC-brushless DC motor control board, PMSM-permanent magnet synchronous motor control board, stepper motor drive control board, asynchronous motor control board, synchronous motor control board, servo motor control board, tubular motor drive control board, etc.
Home Appliance Control Board
In the era of the Internet of Things, home appliance control boards have also incorporated IoT technology. Here, home appliance control boards not only refer to those used in households but also in various commercial settings. They can be roughly divided into the following categories: home appliance IoT controllers, smart home control systems, RFID wireless curtain control boards, cabinet-type air conditioning control boards, electric water heater control boards, household range hood control boards, washing machine control boards, humidifier control boards, dishwasher control boards, commercial soybean milk machine control boards, ceramic furnace control boards, automatic door control boards, electronic lock control boards, and smart access control systems, etc.
Medical Equipment Control Board
The medical equipment control board is mainly used in the circuits of medical instruments to control their operation, data collection, and other functions. Common medical equipment control boards include medical data acquisition control boards, electronic blood pressure monitor control boards, body fat scale control boards, heart rate monitor control boards, massage chair control boards, and home physiotherapy device control boards.
Automotive Electronic Control Board
The automotive electronic control board is a circuit board used in cars that constantly monitors the vehicle’s driving status and provides convenient and safe travel services for drivers. Common automotive control boards include: car refrigeration control board, car LED taillight control board, car stereo control board, car GPS positioning control board, car tire pressure monitoring control board, car reversing radar control board, car electronic anti-theft control board, car ABS controller/control system, car HID headlight controller, etc.
Control Board and Control System
Control system: can be understood as a device composed of multiple control boards assembled together, similar to how three individuals can form a group, or three computers connected together can form a network. The composition of a control system makes it more convenient for equipment to operate, increases automation in production processes, reduces the need for manual labor, and improves overall productivity and efficiency for enterprises. Control systems are used in various industries, such as industrial IoT control systems, agricultural IoT control systems, large toy model controllers, human-machine interface control systems, intelligent greenhouse temperature and humidity control systems, integrated water and fertilizer control systems, PLC non-standard automatic testing equipment control systems, intelligent home control systems, medical care monitoring systems, and MIS/MES workshop automation production control systems (promoting Industry 4.0) etc.
Based on the above explanations of products in various industries, we can easily understand that the control board is the main control center of the equipment. The entire equipment needs detailed operation information from the control board to perform any task, just like the human brain guiding the limbs to do something. The control board is the central component of automated equipment, and the quality of a device depends on the rationality of the control board design, the engineering design, and the correctness of data analysis by the design engineer.
