Rack PC family IPC647, IPC847, IPC547

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation of type IPC547E is an excellent platform for the configuration of single stations, servers or clients. With its all-round capabilities it is ideal for numerous applications in process automation. The more powerful types, IPC647D and IPC847D, are excellent alternatives to meet higher requirements.

Because the basic components such as chipset, processor or memory, are identical, many technical specifications of the IPC647D and IPC847D types of workstations are comparable. The essential differences result from the different overall heights. Since the IPC647D is only half as high as IPC847D, the number and variety of the free slots are reduced. On the other hand, the more compact design requires significantly less space and enables higher packing densities in the control cabinet. This allows the realization of space-saving designs.

The IPC847D is the most powerful and best equipped SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation. Its numerous and varied slots provide a great deal of potential for expansion. The IPC847D is predestined for use as a server or single station. Since it would be over-dimensioned as a client, IPC847D is not offered in this version.
