Design versions/expandability

The SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX in standard design is a compact computing unit with HMI devices (mouse, keyboard, process monitor) that can be ordered separately and are connected by means of integrated ports/interfaces.

The device is equipped with four USB 3.0 ports for mouse and keyboard as well as additional USB input/output devices, e.g. chip card reader USB.

Two process monitors can be controlled in multi-monitor mode via the integrated digital graphic interfaces DVI?I and DVI?D (via adapter cable at the DisplayPort). The selection of the process monitors depends on the technical data of the integrated graphics as well as the image formats and resolutions which can be adjusted in the project editor of the OS software (see section "Operator System, OS Software, Introduction").

As an alternative to the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX in standard design, we are offering a built-in unit with Panel Front according to SIMATIC IPC677D which can be mounted in mounting cutouts of control cabinets, enclosures or consoles as well as on swivel arms.

With the built-in unit, a panel with 22" TFT display and touch screen is permanently connected with the computing unit. The 22" TFT display supports a resolution of 1920 ? 1080 pixels. An additional USB 3.0 port for connection of external I/O devices is available on the panel front on the left below the display.

Using a touch pen as an input aid protects the touch screen and makes it easy to achieve pin-point accuracy when operating small input boxes or buttons – especially when working with gloves.
