SIMATIC IPC647D, front with open front door (top) and rear

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations of type IPC647D have a painted all-metal enclosure in 19" rack design (2 Us), which is particularly protected against dust by a filter and pressurized ventilation. This mechanically and electromechanically rugged enclosure has a service-friendly design.

SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations of type IPC647D are especially suited for space-saving mounting in 500-mm deep 19" control cabinets due to their compact dimensions. They can be installed or positioned horizontally.

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations of type IPC647D are suitable for reliable 24?hour continuous operation at ambient temperatures between 5 and 50 °C. Shocks up to 5 g and vibrations up to 0.5 g can be tolerated during operation.

Restore DVD

The operating system and the SIMATIC PCS 7 software are already preinstalled on the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations. The supplied restore DVDs permit fast restoring of the delivered status or a new installation for a different application. The following table shows you the contents of the supplied restore DVDs and the preinstalled software for each version of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation.

Individual configuration of SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations

By selecting predefined equipment features, you can individually configure the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation and thus also its article number. Selection tables for single station, server and client are available for this in the "Ordering data" (paper catalog) section. A further selection table enables you to order complete SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations as replacement parts.

The PCS 7 INDUSTRIAL WORKSTATION IPC647D configurator in the Industry Mall allows you to interactively select and order the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation in the single station, server or client version - directly for the system or as a replacement part.

Individually configured SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations will be built to order. Therefore the average delivery time for such an order is 15 working days.
