Is there a single board computer to control power electronics?

Question

Electronics

Tell me a single-board computer for controlling powerful power electronics (tens of kW, about ten control channels for active elements).
The computer must have a good timer module like a power application micontroller, or FPGA. Performance comparable to Raspberry.

Answer 1

It is very expensive to combine a computer and control of power electronics in one device - switching noise will easily hang such a computer, so you need to spend a lot of time organizing reliable protection and shielding.
Most of the single boards on the market are mockups/admin toys (for the teapot to ping!) and are not designed for industrial use.
As a rule, the PLC is responsible for control in the automated process control system, which communicates with sensors / actuators via an industrial network, and the “computer” acts as an indication and configurator, but does not “control” the process.
So the question is - what kind of electronics? If it is a motor, it needs a drive controller (usually a frequency converter). This controller will have an external interface (RS485, CAN, Ethernet, finally dry contacts), to which you can already connect a single-board.
But you should not hang thyristors for controlling motor phases on the single-board GPIO.

Answer 2

As I understand it, any computer will do, even a single board, even sort it out. The whole question is in the actuators that connect to the GPIO ports and IO interfaces.
In other words, I don't know of a single computer that would be specifically designed for power electronics, they are all designed to control a variety of equipment. But I know a bunch of manufacturers of power electronics devices that can be controlled from any computer, embedded, single board or general purpose.
Start by searching for the necessary actuators (relays, surge arresters, and what else is there according to your profile), then select a computer with the appropriate IO ports (modbus, profibus, spi, i2c, some proprietary protocols) through the control interfaces...
Let me give you an example: I have a car, and a bunch of actuators for it, sensors, regulators, door locks, hoods, closers. All of them have a CAN interface (as it happened in the car). Well, then God himself ordered me to look for a single board with two or three CAN buses and fasten actuators and sensors with garlands on them.
