Expanded diagnostics/signaling via Ethernet, e-mail, text message, and for direct infeed to SIMATIC software via OPC and logging (optional using SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor):
Operating hours counter
Hard disk status
Automatic logging of all messages to a log file
Long-term recording and graphic display of measured values (temperature, fan)
Option for remote monitoring of networked SIMATIC IPCs
RAID1 for automatic data mirroring on two serial ATA hard disks
FlashDrive, via externally accessible CompactFlash card or Solid State Drive for extremely rugged data storage or the design of systems without hard disk
AMT functionality (Intel Active Management Technology). This feature allows remote access to the IPC (for service work) even with operating system shut down, e.g.:
Controlled startup/shutdown of the IPC
Access to BIOS settings and BIOS update
Measures by means of remote access in the event of a fault, e.g. reboot
Software updates from integrated ISO image
CMOS batteries are externally accessible and therefore easily replaced
Flash BIOS with the ability to store customer-specific CMOS settings in a non-volatile memory area
The PROFINET and PROFIBUS versions offer 2 MB of battery-backed SRAM for application data
After an unexpected power interruption, up to 128 KB of important process data can be written into the battery-backed SRAM
Two 7-segment displays (port 80) for power-up display and for customer outputs (freely programmable)
Two 2-color LEDs (green/red) for display of status messages (freely programmable)
